Florida moms call cops on sons after $50K school damage

Two Florida boys are facing serious charges after “their moms turned them in” for allegedly causing more than $50,000 worth of damage to their school library.

On September 13, the Volusia Sheriff’s Office reported that two boys, aged just 12 and 13, broke into Friendship Elementary School in Deltona, Florida. Deputies say the pair first entered the campus during the day before sneaking back later that night.

Once inside, the pre-teens allegedly went on a destructive rampage – hurling books across the library floor, toppling furniture, and scrawling graffiti on doors. According to investigators, the situation escalated when the pair reportedly returned to admire their handiwork, causing even more damage and setting off the fire alarm in the process. Deputies responding to the alarm arrived to find the library’s media center completely ransacked and in ruins.

“Overnight, deputies responded to a fire alarm at Friendship Elementary School in Deltona. Once on scene, they found a glass door had been shattered and the media center had been vandalized,” police shared on social media, alongside body cam footage from one of the officers at the scene.
