Dad takes to streets, IDs thug who robbed son of $8

A Brooklyn Dad found out his son was robbed and went on a hunt to locate the robber. Funny enough, the dad found the robber and took a photo of the thief and sent it in to the police. Smart move instead of beating the man senseless, because it's better to let the police handle this. Dad is needed at home with his family, so he can't be getting locked up over this when the cops could take this one easily. Besides, the thief might "fall" on the way to the slammer, so the dad would get justice there too - of course, if they actually locked the thief away, that is.

The 10-year-old son and sister, 7, were walking down the street when a thug asked them for $5 and the kids said no. The thug took $8 by force and walked away. The kids called their mom, the mom called the dad, the dad went out and found him and took a photo. The thug was ID'd as Demba Ba, a known criminal with a history of robbery and is already on probation for burglary.
