Teen beats up his grandmother - because she won't buy him beer

Bradenton, Florida -- Deputies say a 16 year old has been arrested for beating his grandmother with a two-by-four for refusing to give him $100 for beer.

Charged is Kurt Cass of Hammock Drive, Bradenton.

Investigators say Cass went into his 60-year-old grandmother's bedroom Thursday and asked her for $100.00 for beer. When she refused, he allegedly placed a razor blade on her throat and demanded she take him to the bank to get the money, deputies said.

"When the victim arrived back home she locked all of the doors," deputies reported. "The defendant arrived back home and kicked the front door in. Once inside the defendant grabbed a two foot 2X4 piece of wood and hit the victim numerous times on the back. The defendant then grabbed a three foot piece of 3 inch PVC pipe and hit the victim on her head, back, and legs numerous times. The defendant's case worker arrived on scene and was able to hold him until law enforcement arrived."

Deputies said Cass has made comments in the past to his grandmother that she should kill his entire family.

Cass was charged with domestic aggravated assault, two counts of domestic aggravated battery, attempted robbery, kidnapping.

Clearly another reason why we should just give away beer.

100 dollars for beer! God, how much did he want, 20 dollars would have been enough.

So, what do you do with a kid this age? It scary that he'll be out and about sooner rather than later. BEATING UP A GRANDMA?! Holy crap...

Well, looks like his parents aren't getting the award for good parenting, that's for sure.

I vote to put the little bastard to sleep. What a drain on society.

Or send him to Iraq. Compulsory service should be instituted for those types, methinks.

That is some screwed up crap.

That's a good idea but he is a bit young. Plus you don't want to give someone nuts a gun and a tank.

I lived 2 miles from Bradenton, in Sarasota. It is a nasty little armpit of a town to me. I don't know how else to describe it than nasty, this story didn't suprise me much. Now I'm in Jersey. Go figure.

Obviously this kid has problems. Honestly, would any one of any age in their right mind do this? Instead of trying to punish people, maybe we should take a hard look at why this young person behaved the way he did and then get him the serious psychological and emotional help that he needs.
