A mother has been charged with helping her 13-year-old son search for someone to rob.
The boy told police his mother, Janine C. Lewis, drove him around Stoughton, helping him look for someone to rob.
The boy told police he had talked to her about committing robberies, but she discouraged him. Still, he said she agreed to drive him around to look for a victim.
They found a man at a car wash. She asked him if he really wanted to go through with it. He said he did, and she told him to be careful.
The boy approached the man with a gun and demanded money.
But the would-be victim realized the boy's gun was actually a BB gun. He knocked it out of the boy's hand, chased him down and held him until police arrived.
His mother later acknowledged she helped her son commit the robbery, saying she told him it was something they could do together.
