14 Year Old Arrested for Armed Robbery on Kids’ Lemonade Stand in Boston – 12-Year-Old Victim Speaks Out: “We’re 12 and 11, and You Shouldn’t Really Do That” (VIDEO)

A 14-year-old has been arrested in connection with a broad-daylight armed robbery against two children running a lemonade stand in South Boston this week. 

The victims were identified as twelve-year-old David Byrne and his 11-year-old sister.

“He walked over here, he said, ‘I might need to take the box,’ and he grabbed it with one hand, and then he showed us the gun,” 12-year-old David said. “My sister, she put her hands up and I just said, ‘You can have it.’ But after that I just was like a little annoyed because we were 12 and 11, and you shouldn’t really do that.”

The kids’ father, Dave, described the incident as “outrageous,” adding, “I think we need some more presence around to in order for this to never happen again.”

“I’m pretty disgusted with it. They’re young children,” he added, according to CBS. “It was in the middle of broad daylight.”

Others in the community have organized to support the kids’ venture.

Video from the area showed the two suspects who stole a cash box and flashed a firearm at the victims.
