I don't care if they are 12, if this woman dies as a result of these F**k heads I think the electric chair would be a good place for them.





The wealthy Manhattan real-estate agent who was hit by a shopping cart that police say was dropped four stories by two 12-year-olds as she was buying Halloween candy for underprivileged children will "in the best of cases" be in rehabilitation for months, her husband told the New York Post.

Marion Salmon Hedges has been in a medically-induced coma after she was struck in the head by the falling cart on Sunday while walking outside a Target store with her 13-year-old son in East Harlem, the paper reported.


Her husband, Michael Hedges, told the Post on Tuesday that his family "is going through a very difficult time."

"It's still too early to tell with neurological issues," he told the newspaper. "Every year on Halloween, 1,000 kids come to our block from less-privileged neighborhoods and we spend $500 to $600 on candy for them and that's what she was doing -- buying candy for those kids to do something nice for the community."

Gaurav Patel, a doctor who witnessed the incident, performed CPR on Hedges, who was later transported to Harlem Hospital where she remains.

"We heard a little boy just screaming," Patel's wife, Susan Mahoney, told the newspaper. "Guarav said she was [in cardiac arrest] for about a minute. He did chest compressions, and she became responsive."

The two young suspects were telling jokes and laughing with each other after they were taken into custody, police sources told the newspaper.

"They were just doing it for fun," one law enforcement source said of the alleged crime.

The suspects were reportedly charged in Family Court with assault as juveniles.

The victim's father-in-law, Michael Hedges, said prosecutors should "throw the book" at the two boys.

Hedges, a 47-year-old mother of two, works for Prudential Douglas Elliman. The New York Daily News reports that she is a volunteer at the Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center and also very active in her church.

Dottie Herman, president and CEO of Prudential Douglas Elliman, said in a statement that "Our thoughts and prayers are with Marion and her family as we wish her a full and speedy recovery."

I'll second that!

Twelve is plenty young for a human to reform.

As they get older, they may start to understand what it is that they did - then this will haunt them. It may motivate them to a lifetime of trying to atone for this.

At the same time, it disgusts me that people can become even that old and have so little sense of right and wrong.

The article isnt clear if they were planning on it hitting someone or just thought it would be 'fun' to toss it off....

the former would show an interest in harming others
the latter might just be ignorance of the danger of their choices

A stolen shopping cart, over a busy area, laughing and joking after being detained.....water balloons I could understand, a shopping cart.....you can't convince me they didn't think of the adverse effects or possibilities of this action at 12 years old!

Perhaps in time they will understand the blatant disregard of their actions, but not without SEVERE penalties for their actions! The PARENTS should suffer too for their lack of parenting skills!

The trend of saying "they're just children" has brought us kids with guns in schools, guns in the streets, but what is expected with violence as everyday life in video games and TV? They have no other reality without teaching them differently!

Prosecute the PARENTS, AND THE KIDS!

Dust off old sparky!

My guess is it was deliberate. It happened at a Target where the criminals were standing on the overhead walk way when they dropped the cart over the edge of the steel mesh safety wall. Here is video of where it happened: http://video.foxnews.com/v/1253127332001/boys-allegedly-drop-cart-on-woman I would conclude they knew what they were doing.

its hard to know what they knew, I see several television shows on these days which humorize dangerous actions and risky behaviors,,

I imagine many kids now dont see that danger is not humorous,,,

then fry their parents!

If she dies, hell yes! If she doesn't then lets model their punishment like they would in a Singapore Jail. Severe Caneing.

It's also the right age to show your true self and these kids seem to be pure Psychopaths.

Exactly and we already have enough liberals without anymore psychopaths to deal with.
