Why?...Why? Grrrrr.
She was in critical condition at the hospital. Hoping she is doing better now.
The 12 y/o is in a bit of trouble now, and for what reason did he and his friend even approach this woman?

Wow. What would make a child do something like this to a stranger? So scary.

A neighbor from next door is then seen telling the boys to leave. But about 10 minutes later, the footage shows the boys returning on their bikes with gloves on their hands. The 12-year-old then takes something out of his pants, charges at the woman inside the garage, and then runs away with the 7-year-old boy.

"Never did any of us think that it was going to be kids from the neighborhood that came in and attacked her," the neighbor, who asked not to be identified, said. "If they have the ability to go and do that to an older woman who clearly has mental issues after our neighbor down the road tells them, 'Hey, leave her alone.' It's a concern."

“My son, he struggles with mental problems,” she also said.

So according to neighbors, the victim was "challenging" to deal with because she may have mental health issues. Now mom of 12 year old says he has mental health struggles. Sounds like a perfect torm.
