November 25, 2016- In Newark, Delaware there was a robbery at 10:30 am. The incident occurred at the Christiana Mall with many witnesses present. The police were promptly notified and those who witnessed the event stayed behind to give statements.
The robber, a 12-year old girl, was attempting to steal a 12 pack of earrings from Claire’s. After sneaking the pack into her purse, she calmly exited the store, witnesses say, but the small security tag on the back of the package caused the alarms to beep persistently. Terrified, the teen attempted to claim that she thought she had already paid for them, but most witnesses claim that the girl was not innocent. Wearing her converse sneakers and sweater dress, she was clearly a terrifying sight for any who had to be present during the event.
“I just didn’t know what to do,” Lia Marshall stated, shaking profusely. “I’ve always known there are cut-throat, sociopathic people out in the general public, but I never thought that I would have to witness one of their heinous crimes… I mean, earrings? Of all things to steal, she had to choose the deadliest option…”
Although the police arrived promptly after the security alarms beeped, the shaken witnesses and workers found it troubling to relay what had occurred.
“When my coworkers and I arrived at the scene, I immediately knew I had to call for backup. I could see the murderous scene, and it was something I knew would stay with me forever,” policeman Anderson reported.
Although the police ultimately decided to call the teen’s mom and the store was not pressing charges, everyone present at the incident is seeking medical attention. 67% of witnesses are claiming to have PTSD, saying that they break down crying whenever they see the glow of an earring. Some of the police present are shaken too, with over half of them taking time off to be with family during this tough time.
“These times are when people need to surround themselves with family,” an anonymous witness expresses. “It’s really great to see the community come together and support all of us who were emotionally damaged by this.”
The teen has expressed remorse and her parents have come out with an apologetic statement.
“We were unaware that our daughter would even be capable of something this abominable,” her mother, Melissa, stated. “We have sent her to a mental institution, and we are optimistic about her recovery. After her three month stay, she will be attending a military school, so none of the victims have to see her again. We greatly apologize for the damage she caused...it was never our intention to raise a monster.”
The public has responded with love and support for the parents of the deplorable teen, due to the great action they have taken to ensure their daughter no longer harms society. Some have called this “the worst Newark has seen,” while others remain slightly optimistic, claiming she could have started the downfall of society, but luckily she did not.
The police would like to remind people to remain calm, ensuring the public that they are doubling up on the number of patrols in the Christiana Mall. For now, people are warned to keep an eye out for any other monstrous individuals.
