Two things scared me:

"I's fun to do bad things"

"Don't you think you should be punished?"
"Something like no video games for the weekend or something".

Career criminal in the making - the kid needs serious counseling.

The local news had another quote from him:
When asked why he didn't stop for the police:
"I was taking them on a high speed chase"

I don't blame the kid as much as I do the parent or grandparent in this case.Its the parents responsibility to teach their kids right from wrong. What really bothers me is were is mom and dad in all this? All you heard from is the grandmother. Does he even have a father figure in his life?

totally agree

although the grandmother seems a nice lady and is trying to do her best. seems the parents are wronguns, also the kid is clearly not wired up right. he needs medical help

Normally I would agree but the kid had one line that killed this supposition:

"It's fun to do bad things"

Meaning he knew what he was doing was wrong but did it anyway. I think the grandmother did teach him right from wrong, he just doesn't care.

Plus, he thinks he should only get no video games for a weekend as a punishment. How about his grandmother selling the video games on eBay? Making him do extra chores for YEARS to pay it off.

Edit: After seeing the video in Predator's post these are my thoughts:

1) The apologies in the beginning are scripted and meaningless. He's just saying that to improve his image.
2) He needs some strict punishment similar to what I said above. A stay in a hospital for an evaluation is not a punishment. Set him straight, let him spend a few days in a single occupancy holding cell in the local police station followed by a strict schedule (similar to a halfway house) with his grandmother.

A good punishment for this kid would have been some time in jail. No, not a prison, but maybe a holding cell in the local precinct for a day or two so he can see what kind of criminals go in there and how they get treated, no TV, no video games, low quality food, etc. Get a small taste of what life might be like for the kid in 11 years (or fewer) without giving him the full thing.

This kid is a prime candidate for some serious arse kicking military school.

No doubt, this kid is headed for trouble. Stealing cars at 7 is unfortunately no longer a marketable skill. To compete in today's tough job market you need to diversify your skill set. A preteen who can not only steal cars, but also sell crack and commit homocide is infinitely more valuable to today's corporations.

I hope that was your attempt at a joke.:eek:
