NEWARK, Del. (CBS/AP) – New Castle County Police have charged a 14-year-old after he forced a 7-year-old into a portable toilet and knocked it over with the boy inside.
“He just started laughing and just walked away,” said 7-year-old victim Zack Montero.
It happened Sunday about 7:45 p.m. on Scottfield Drive in Newark. Police say three boys, ages 7 and 8, were riding their bikes in Hann Park when the teenager threatened Zack and forced him into a “Port-o-John.”
The teen pushed over the toilet onto the door, preventing the boy from escaping. The boy’s two friends were able to get him out. The boy, who suffered a knee injury and was covered in waste, went home and told his father.
“As a dad, immediately, I got very furious and all the thoughts of what I wanted to do about the situation went through my head were all illegal. So naturally I didn’t do that,” said Dave Montero, Zack’s dad.
The 14-year-old is charged with unlawful imprisonment, assault and harassment. He was released to his parents on $4,000 unsecured bail and ordered to have no contact with the young victim.
maybe this is a case where an "eye for an eye" fits. Place the 14 year old in a port a john full of waste, tip it over, and leave him for awhile. Maybe he will see the humor in it.

I remember in High School, the varsity football team junior and senior's, used to try shoving the freshmen into the lockers and pissing on them as a form of hazing.

the sad part is that little if anything will be done to this kid. cross your fingers and hope he doesn't grow up to be the next serial killer.
It would depend on how he pushed it over, I'm sure the application of levers might help, although the act seems to indicate a mentality that might be disinclined to such advanced thought processes... :mrgreen:What the hell is wrong with kids?! Seriously. And just how big is this 14 year old that can push a full port-a-potty over?? Holy Christ, those things weigh a ton!
I'm waiting for someone to ask what a seven-year-old was doing out riding his bike around town unsupervised.
If he'd been kidnapped and murdered it's the first thing everybody would say: "Where were his parents? What were they, some kind of crackheads? Who lets a seven year old ride to the (obviously free of any concerned adults) park alone, anyway?"
