An 11-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a string of armed robberies in Washington, DC and the media is portraying him as a victim.
From FOX 5 DC, "11-year-old DC boy arrested in connection with robbery, assault cases: police":
An 11-year-old boy was arrested by D.C. Police and is facing charges in connection with at least three robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon offenses.
In one incident, the suspect allegedly tells the victim, "Give me your phone, or I'll shoot you," and, "Haha I got you," later, according to a police report released on Tuesday.

All three incidents connected to this one child appear to have occurred within Northwest D.C.’s Park View neighborhood.
The boy was "charged with robbery while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon and robbery (fear)," NBC Washington reports.
