Grrlzz with attitude

• A 12-year-old girl was sentenced in Perth, Australia, in July to two months detention for stealing a car and leading police on a harrowing high-speed chase. According to court records, she has already been convicted of more than 60 crimes. • A 7-year-old named Alisha told reporters in Reidsville, N.C., in August that she was just being a good daughter when she challenged the man who tried to rob her mom, a convenience store clerk. "I was pushing on him and telling him to back away, back away, man." Her aggressiveness foiled the robbery, but the man got away. Said Alisha, "He should be locked up by his gills and towed to the police." ¦
