This Home Alone reboot is kinda crummy.

Sounds like a charming neighbourhood with some outstanding parenting going on there.
Unreal.

7 years old and already playing stupid games with stupid prizes. Hopefully he will learn from this but its St Louis so I seriously doubt he will.

This is a first grader or maybe a young 2nd grader. I work in an elementary school with many troubled kids from rough homes, and I can't even imagine this! Not from my worst students. Seven year olds want to play Minecraft and Pokemon Go. They are yearning for love and acceptance. Not breaking into houses! It is so sad to me that this child did not seem to have any other way to get what he needed, except to follow along with some delinquent middle schoolers.

7 isn't too late for redemption. I hope some kind of intervention gives him a chance.

Maybe the 12 yr old kids were supposed to be baby sitting.
Where were the parents/single mothers?

Hopefully they all have learned something from this near death experience and will not continue their way down the thug path.
