Thirteen-year-old Andrew Riley is facing 128 felony charges. Nelsonville, Ohio police have charged the seventh grader with burglary, theft, vandalism and witness intimidation. Riley allegedly beat up a classmate on a school bus when the student threatened to testify against him.   Police say Riley broke in to houses of people he knew, smashed windows for fun and robbed businesses. Miki Brooks' coffee shop was hit twice.   "First time, my register drawer was empty. And, the second time, my register was gone."   Police searched the boy's home and found stolen video games and baseball cards. Still, the boy's mother says she doubts her son is responsible for everything he is charged with.   "I'm not denying that he was guilty of some of it, possibly. But there is no way he was, he did all those stuff for the last year, year and a half."   Even if Riley were convicted, a psychiatrist we spoke with says, he could turn his life around.   "If a 13-year-old, even one who has so many felony charges against him, were to get intensive psychiatric treatment, which includes psychotherapy and medication, there is still hope."   Riley will most likely be tried as a child, and that means even if he were convicted on all 128 counts, he'd likely be out of jail by the time he was 21, and the reason there are so many charges, police say, that among these other crimes, he stole checks, and that for each individual check that was stolen, that is a felony charge.  That helps us understand a little better, but, where are parents in all this stuff?   Well, that's really a question, and police in Nelsonville, Ohio tell me that it's very likely they're going to be filing child endangerment charges against the parents. Child Protective Service has been to the house, and they've identified some issues. For instance, clothing on bare wiring also just uh cleanliness issues. So, police say really they're just not taking care of Andrew, and he also has three other siblings.   Yeah, the mother seemed less than appropriately concerned, I thought, about her son's alleged crime spree.   Well, and she certainly doesn't put him past, put it past him to at least be responsible for some of these crimes. We heard that straight from her.
