Transit Police report arresting somebody too young to have his name released for the botched robbery attempt last week that ended with him being chased out of Charles/MGH by a group of fed-up commuters.

The teen was scheduled for an appearance in Boston Municipal Court's juvenile session on a charge of assault with intent to rob, police say.

He will get nothing more then a scolding. MA does not punish criminals esp if they are 14.

What the hell do you expect to happen?

How might you go about punishing a 14 year old?

I only add the disclaimer when the suspect is named.

I don't think we need it if he hasn't been named. No one is besmirching his "good name."

Wait, what?

I thought the Red Line expansion was going to result in criminal elements from "the city" invading the crime-free streets of Somerville and Arlington.
