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 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, and kidnapping.

The grandmother has had legal guardianship of Cass and his little brother since 1994.

Authorities tell us today that Cass came from a troubled family. His mother is in prison on cocaine possession and sale charges, and his father is serving a 15-year prison sentence for manslaughter after choking a prostitute to death in 2002.

Hmmm such things make me depress These things happen all the time and I guess we should not post such news here on DP
That boy surely has lot's of problems as his family.

 

Glad someone walked in at the exact time and caugth the idiot.
He should rot in prision.

 

What an asshole kid - He needs a good beating himself!

 

Isn't florida wonderful? There's a reason why most Springer guests come from here

 

ya I guess, but I think he also need a psychiatrist's help. I mean he has a very troubled family background and he was telling his grandmother to kill the whole family and If he don't get proper treatment than he will surely go on his fathers way.
He is still very young and with proper help, atleast we can save his life getting wasted.

 

$100 bucks seems a lot for beer...And I don't think this kid was buying imported stuff

Now hes going to go to jail and learn how to be a real criminal, bottle up more anger and resentment, then be released to commit even worse crimes

 

Yes, jails sucks hard.. death penalty rules

 

Springer should just move his show there.

We're about to open a store in Tampa Bay...I can't wait to see who we hire to work there.

 

Hire my friend, Amber...she is smoking---lives in ST Pete.

 

Pete is very lucky then

 

Oh yea, this kid is gonna be getting his ass rented out for a carton of Newports.

 

he is lucky he lives in USA , if that things happen here in the Philippines he might be a dead meat now...stupid KID!

 

The kid should be shot at no cost to society. The parents should have to pay for the bullet, and the subsequent funeral.

 

Totally reminds me of the boyscout who asked people to buy him beer

 

People that make me sick, theres been quite a few incidents similar to this in the UK recently.

 

Hmmm, an early sign of following his parents' footsteps.

 

we can't blaim him, can we ?

 

Well I think you kind of can...I mean he did beat the crap out of his grandmother for $100 worth of NY Gold

 

this young man should be killed.
no jury. no trial. no excuses.

this SOB should be tied to a fucking post and stoned to death. there is no fixing someone like this. how in the world could you hit a woman with a 2x4?
even WORSE how could you hit a 60 yearold woman with a 2x4?
even WORSE x2, how can you hit your 60 yearold grandmother with a 2 x 4

my god.
