Thieving offspring: Children beat employees in Herzogenaurach!
An unfortunate incident occurred last Friday, November 7, 2025, in Herzogenaurach, when an employee of a discount store caught a group of young perpetrators stealing food. The careless thieves, three children aged 12 to 14, stole food worth almost seven euros.
When the employee tried to stop the young thieves, the situation escalated. Two of the children attacked him and beat him, while part of the group managed to escape. Fortunately, the fleeing perpetrators were later identified. What is particularly explosive is that the 14-year-old main perpetrator now has to answer for robbery, while the two younger accomplices are not yet of criminal responsibility. This raises questions about responsibility and prevention of such acts in today's society.
The reactions to the incident
Reactions from residents and passers-by were mixed. Some expressed concern about the increase in juvenile crime in the region. “It's really concerning that children do this,” said one concerned mother. But it's not just the behavior of young people that is under discussion; as are the security situations in supermarkets. Higher security could potentially prevent such incidents.
In Germany there are ongoing efforts to combat youth crime and work preventatively to put children on the right path. Such incidents are not just isolated cases, they reflect a problem for society as a whole that will continue to be discussed for a long time.
In summary, the incident in Herzogenaurach is a powerful sign that we all have a responsibility to support our young people so that they do not fall into the wrong path. While the 14-year-old is now on trial, we should ask ourselves together how we can take preventative action to avoid such incidents in the future.
