There are times when you take a step back and just take a breather. Especially after reading a story like this. Home invasion and burglary, nine teens and one adult, a host of charges. Wow, think about that for a second.

From criminal mischief to first degree burglary, first degree gang assault, oh, and throw in endangering the welfare of child, along with a host of other felony charges, you have a group of people who have allegedly made some seriously bad choices so early on in their lives.

I'm still very blown away by how young the accused are. Sixteen and 17-year-olds charged with felonies? What? Where are their parents? And you know what? Scratch that, let's leave the parents out of this one. These kids should know better! Mommy and daddy can't watch over you forever! Sometimes, you just have to learn a hard lesson. Unfortunately, this lesson is something that will follow them around forever.
