A Twelve Year-Old Kidnapped Two Adults In Brazil Yesterday

A twelve year-old boy in Vitoria, Brazil kidnapped two 18 year-old men on their way to college and held them hostage for an hour because everyone in Brazil is a crazy, violent child, apparently. Monday night we learned that a 17 year-old girl confessed to cops that she alone has murdered 30 men since 2006 in a stabby, serial rampage of “revenge and justice.” Then there’s Wallace Souza, a former cop and TV host and current state legislator in Amazonas who stands accused of orchestrating murders to boost ratings for his crime show. Okay, he’s not a kid, but that’s pretty immature. The twelve-year old was able to capture the two men by pretending to be armed and hijacking their car–which he had no idea how to drive. We wonder if Vanity Fair will feature any of these guys in their next 12 page photo essay.
