Boy Robbed at Gunpoint Prompts Lawsuit Against BART

The family of a 12-year-old boy is suing BART, saying there was insufficient security at the El Cerrito del Norte station when their son was robbed at gunpoint. The incident happened last April, and the boy was not hurt. The boy told his mom he gave his backpack to the robber, held onto his cellphone and ran away.
