My Fox Boston - A Georgia woman, her teenage son and two other teens were arrested Friday after robbing a bank together, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Simmons pointed a handgun at a Wells Fargo bank teller, accompanied by two of the teenagers, with the third waiting outside in a getaway car. Lilburn Deputy Chief of Police Bruce Hedley said Friday that Simmons had checked the three teenagers out of school just before the robbery... Simmons and the three teens were arrested after a chase with police that ended with their getaway car driving into an embankment and crashing into railroad tracks.
At least they were making an attempt to take part in family activities. What's that old saying? Families that heist together, get jail time together? Is that it?
In my eyes the mother only made one foolish mistake, never put an inexperienced driver behind the wheel of the getaway car. The kid had what 1 year tops of driving experience? That's just bad parenting. You've got to know the limitations of your children, know how much they can be pushed, or when they need a helping hand. This kid clearly would have been a better trigger man or bag man, let him learn the tricks of the trade for a few years before putting the pressure of freedom on him. Any teen can point a gun, bark commands and fill a sack with cash, it takes skills and ice water veins to lead your family and loved ones through a high speed pursuit. You're telling me the kind of mom who calls her kids out of school sick to commit class 1 felonies doesn't have a trailer trash type boyfriend who was born to be a wheel man?
