I see a lot of commenters here talking about how they have no sympathy for the kid. I think it's important to remember that it's hard out there these days. A life of crime may not be the only option available, but it becomes more and more appealing as access to education or training gets more difficult to afford, inflation increase outpaces wage increases, workers rights aren't expanded.
Dehumanizing criminals is a very privileged way of approaching the world.
What we have here is a child who was failed by society.
