Nine-year-old hitches a ride on Delta from Minneapolis to Vegas

The NSA will use this as an example to increase spying on children.

Because not even the TSA wants to be publicly known for thinking about the insides of 9-year-old boysā€™ asses.

Sadly, it sounds like the kid has some ongoing behavioral/home environment problems that arenā€™t really getting addressed very well. http://www.startribune.com/local/west/226834781.html

He stole a car several weeks ago and was arrested on the interstate highway heading south! It is migration season and he does live in Minnesota, maybe heā€™s just acting on some deep subconscious instinct to travel south for the winter, he did go to Vegas.

Good point. Most people hold their stupid in until they get TO Vegas.

Hereā€™s more on the kidā€™s history of destructive and antisocial behavior. Itā€™s prompted at least four CPS visits to his home, but thereā€™s not really any sign that heā€™s in physical danger. The parents want to get him help (I assume they mean psychiatric) but canā€™t afford it and thereā€™s been nothing available: http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/227085671.html

very little info there, but i think it would be safe to assume as much anyway. the story does add supporting evidence to how fucking badass that kid is, though. water slides? hell yeah. being placed in a foster family suuuucks, though. my aunt used to have a whole bunch of foster kids all the time (she didnā€™t have the resources to fully adopt anyone), and it was cool to talk to them and be a person who doesnā€™t consider them worthless pieces of shit, but it was always just a matter of time until they were dumped into a new foster family, who might be nice people, or might be scumfuck opportunistic predators. feelin for this kid, and i hope he uses his skillsets for good.
