A boy was arrested for having a stockpile of weapons and planning to carry out school shootings.

On a seemingly normal Monday, 11-year-old Carlo ‘Kingston’ Dorelli was taken into custody by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office in Florida. His alleged crime? Threatening to shoot up two schools with a cache of weapons.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Spectrum News 13, Carlo showed off his collection of guns and knives during a Facetime call with his Creekside Middle School classmates. This call caught the attention of authorities, who later found more than a dozen replica weapons in his possession.

Sheriff Michael Chitwood sternly declared, ‘Since parents don't want to raise your kids, I'm going to start raising them,’ in response to the disturbing discovery. The department shared a video and photos of the weapons, along with footage of Carlo being escorted out of a deputy's vehicle and into the sheriff's office with handcuffs and shackles.

As Carlo was locked in a cell, an official asked him if he had any questions. The boy shook his head, seemingly unaware of the gravity of his actions. According to Chitwood, Carlo had bragged about a ‘kill list’ targeting students at two different schools. The sheriff stated that the boy had written down names and targets, but Carlo claimed it was all just a joke.

Unfortunately, this incident comes less than two weeks after a 14-year-old boy allegedly shot and killed four people at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Carlo has been charged with a felony for making a written threat of a mass shooting or act of terrorism. The sheriff's department made it clear that they will not tolerate any threats or acts of violence in their community.

It is a somber reminder of the importance of responsible gun ownership and proper parenting. As Sheriff Chitwood said, ‘Every time we make an arrest, your kid's photo is going to be put out there. And if I can do it, I'm going to perp walk your kid, so everybody can see what your kid's up to.’ It is up to parents to educate and monitor their children to prevent such tragedies from occurring.
