claiming there was gun violence at the homes of Justin Bieber and
Ashton Kutcher -- is only 12 years old ... Y!online has learned.
Sources connected to the boy tell said ... he lives in California with
his mother. He refuses to go to school and sits at his computer day
and night, communicating with other hackers. We're told he is
antisocial, preferring the keyboard to personal contact .
Our sources say Children's Services has been to the boy's apartment
multiple times, trying to stabilize the situation, to no avail. We're
told the mother has virtually checked out. We're told the family is
"incredibly dysfunctional."Our sources say the boy is smart, but by no
means a Zuckerberg-esque genius. Still, he was able to evade cops for
months.
We're told law enforcement is sympathetic and steps are afoot to
remove the child from the home and place him in a stable foster
environment. We're also told authorities are inclined to get the boy
counseling rather than mete out punishment -- i.e., place him on
probation and if he completes his counseling program all charges will
be dismissed.
It's pretty remarkable ... a 12 year old concocted incredible fake
scenarios to fool cops ... telling them gun-toting Russian thugs had
held people in Ashton's house hostage.The L.A. County D.A. has yet to
make a decision on charging the boy with crimes.
