HOLDEN (CBS) – Four boys between 9 and 11 years old are accused of throwing dozens of rocks at several vehicles on Route 290 in Worcester over the weekend.

State police said the boys threw the rocks at cars on the Kelly Square on-ramp to Route 290 eastbound Saturday.

One of the victims, with the help of Worcester police, chased down the kids, who later admitted to investigators they threw the rocks.

    I can hear the parents now: “MY CHILD DIDN’T DO THAT… MY CHILD IS A COMPLETE ANGEL.” One of the reasons why I will not have children, is beacuse I do not want to deal with the parents of other children.

    all to often its stuff like this that makes parents realize that indeed their children are not all that angelic.. And that they lie to get out of trouble…….4 were caught and alll 4 need to own up to their misdeeds…………….. make them work it off in more ways than none.. Parents need to get real, children will lie to get out of trouble…………….. they alway will, and they need to learn from their mistakes and tell the truth…
