One Reason NCLB will Never reach 100% of the Kids: Parental Denial

Andrew Riley faced 128 felony charges in Ohio Tuesday that included theft, vandalism and intimidation, but he is no adult; he is a 13-year old seventh grader.

Accusations stems from a crime spree that the Athens County assistant prosecutor said lasted a year.

Full Brooks Cafe was one of Andrew's many targets. Owner Miki Brooks said the restaurant has been robbed twice. "It sort of took all the air out of me the first time," said Brooks. "The second time, I couldn't believe it."

His family did not deny he has been in trouble, but they said he could not commit so many crimes. "Honestly, you know, we are baffled by all the charges," said stepfather James Blake.
