Rajmund, a 12-year-old kid, who came to Budapest by accident (fell asleep on a train), became a feared gang leader, robbing and stealing all he could from other youths. Almost instantly, he gathered a group of older kids around him and selected the underpass in Blaha Lujza square as his headquarters. With his gang behind him (who reportedly call him 'Boss'), he even stabbed a 15-yr in the underpass to get his mp3 player. Usually, he sold the goods for some Arabic persons in the near railway station.
The police cannot do anything because the current regulation does not allow the imprisoning or anything of children under the age of 14. He was put in a youth care home almost every second day, from where he escaped immediately. The issue seems to be getting to an end - the authorities identified him and allegedly he will be sent back to Romania in a few days. I have just seen him yesterday in the underpass, talking to people and asking for some food at a bakery. He is merely taller than 4ft...
- Update
He is now back in Romania. One of the Hungarian TV channels went down to his village to make a report, and they were 'robbed' (this word is used in the articles) by two kids of the same age as the subject of the story. They took some money and a mobile phone from them. Soon after, the local police identified them.
