Jacking a two year old. Really?

A two year old with a 300 dollar necklace---plus a bracelet?

Weird.


An afternoon at the pool was ruined for a Hollywood toddler who was slightly injured when two adult suspects snatched his gold chain.

Paul Cintron, 2, was with his four sisters and a family friend at the Forest Park Apartments on South Oakland Forest Drive Saturday. There, the Broward Sheriff's Office said, two men grabbed the boy's $300 necklace that held a Saint Barbara charm and and Italian horn.

After the robbery, Pixley and Danielle Cintron told investigators that they tried to fight the thieves off. The men were not able to remove the boy's bracelet from his wrist, Lorenzo said, but the child was left with an apparent scrape on his chest, a photo supplied by the agency shows.

The jewelry was bought for the baby before he was born by his mother, godmother and a grandmother, Lorenzo said, and she's undecided whether she'll replace the valuables.
