individuals capable of robbery is not limited to adults since children have been known to commit acts of theft - kids involved with these types of activity can become violent if confronted so do not underestimate potential harm if confronted by a child initiating robbery - physical fitness is not a indicator of whether or not an individual can prevent the theft from occurring, since

kids can also be carrying concealed weapons and normally have accomplices looking from nearby - once again, the best answer to this scenario is to not overreact - it is safe to assume that the level of tension and adrenaline of any robber might be much higher, than the victim's, so if taken by surprise a poor outcome can easily occur.

it is best not to provoke any reactions by confrontation and if someone anticipates a negative situation is about to occur, a good strategy to avoid its occurrence is walking into a store, or safe place, and staying there until the potential robbers go away.
