If all Home Alone characters were charged and sentenced after the events of Home Alone 2.
Includes Kevin Mccallister, Harry Lyme & Marv Murchins
Our exploration extends beyond fiction as we draw parallels to real-world scenarios. We examine cases of real-life criminals and their prosecutions, drawing on legal expertise to examine the likelihood of the criminal activities from Home Alone characters leading to actual charges.
Home Alone is a series of American Christmas family comedy films. The films revolve around the adventures surrounding children who find themselves alone and faced with the challenge of defending their family's house or themselves from invading burglars.

Objection: In Home Alone 2, Harry and Marv had attempted to kidnap him and made it clear on multiple occasions that their intent was to commit first degree murder. While Kevin's actions were illogical, they were all in an attempt to get the criminals apprehended. He broke the window with the intention of summoning the police, collected evidence of their crimes with both a tape recorder and camera, and defended himself from these kidnapping and murder attempts in his aunt and uncle's home, which would fall under stand your ground. It is easy to say that normal people in our real world would suffer from any one of these injuries, but I would like to put forward the motion that this is a universe with super durable humans where they *can* take all that damage. So in a way, Mr. McCallister's actions wore down the stamina of the criminals known as the Wet Bandits, even going as far as to disable their firearms before the police arrived. We can all agree that this sort of vigilante justice is immoral, but given my client's age and the extenuating circumstances, I move that the charges be dropped, and Mr. McCallister be allowed to walk out a free man.

[@deadponic117]

I agree with this, I would argue on excessive force because of the use of multiple bricks, and the kerosene rope trap, but given that the Wet Bandits were dogidly persistent, honestly, it's their own fault, they had every opprotunity to walk away, but they didn't

That’s complicated sense there is no minimum age for criminal responsibility. In the United States, minors can be charged for crimes and sent to Juvie but it depends on how old the age of criminal responsibility is in the State you’re living under in order for the State to have you arrested. In Illinois, where Home Alone takes place, there’s no age limit for how old you need to be to have criminal responsibility, while in New York, where Home Alone 2 is set, the age of criminal responsibility is seven years old. In North Carolina it’s 6 years old and 12 years old with exceptions for California.

In the instance of Home Alone 1, that was not the parents fault, in order to prove child abandonment there has to be proof it was intentional or negligent, which was not the case as they took the proper precautions (Having someone count the people in attendance prior to step off). If anyone would be charged IN THEORY it would be the sister who counted someone not even in the family as a person in attendance.

[@jozefu8726]

With a decent lawyer, Kevin would probably get more than half those charges thrown out. That, coupled with the fact he is a minor and is his first time offenses, the chances of him getting any jail at all is pretty low. Let us also consider the fact that Kevin's parents are legit scum for leaving that kid behind in a house all by himself.

Just some corrections. 1:07 This would actually be setting up a booby trap, which is a crime. 1:25 Would not apply here, they were trespassing onto their home so they should have known the risk. 1:59 Would also add a petty theft/larceny charge since he took items out of it. Burglary and larceny are two separate acts and two separate charges.

[@ym5891]

1:07 is correct, but 1:25 is not; Kevin is not in immediate danger, he encouraged them to use the rope and doesn't attempt to get away while clearly having the opportunity to do so. To cut the rope without warning under those circumstances could certainly be construed as reckless endangerment. It's really no different than if he would be standing above the stairs from 1:07 and encouraging the burglars to come get him knowing the high likelihood of injury to them, with the major exception that it takes an action from Kevin (cutting the rope) rather than the burglars injuring themselves. Though I will say they're no longer (just) trespassing but actively home invading at that point. And chasing Kevin already, which could be seen as kidnapping or hostage-taking. Which actually broadens what Kevin is allowed to do to escape his captors. So it really depends on what judge and jury you get and how they will see the situation. Under regular self-defense laws, what Kevin does is crossing a line, so reckless endangerment could apply. But under defense-laws while being an active hostage or kidnapping victim, Kevin would absolutely be justified in thwarting his captors' attempts to (re-)capture him by doing what he does. You could have arguments for both opinions based on the actions in the movie, so it's difficult to say which would apply here. Kevin does actively taunt them throughout the movie and such, making pre-emptive traps like in 1:07. At the same time he is a child and Marv and Harry are adults. Etc, etc.

[@B345T1N355Official]

@@ym5891 Stand your ground doctrine ≠ castle doctrine, I believe for the castle doctrine there doesn’t need to be an immediate danger. Both of those guys were attempting to break their way inside the home via the zip line and I think at that point deadly force can be applied. Illinois follows the castle doctrine which could apply here. Also considering Kevin is a kid and those two are grown men, it is implied in court the child may feel endangered, so I don’t see charges holding up here. I may see burglary and reckless endangerment charges on the two guys trying to zip line their way inside the house, however.

​@@shadowcastyt Objection - Illinois state self defence law clearly states that a person may use force against another, "...only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or another, or the commission of a forcible felony.” The video evidence clearly shows McCallister alerting Lyme and Murchins to the garden shears immediately followed by the pair retreating from McCallister. Lyme is also heard to very clearly state, "Go back." Some may argue that the actions of Lyme and Murchins may lead some people to believe they could be dangerous. However, it is undeniable that any reasonable man would not interperet any harm could be done by Lyme or Murchins during their retreat. The fact McCallister cut the rope during this time is, without a doubt, an act that recklessly endangers both Lyme and Murchins to possible injury or death.

[@dandruff3414]

The fact Tommy DeVito (from "Goodfellas") is in this movie, I think I know now how Kevin's dad can afford that house

[@plague_doctor-scp-049]

a common movie theory ( or atleast where im from )is that kevin mccallister grew up to be a murderer ( and has someone said and in my friends version he could of been jigsaw) as he found joy with putting the criminals through pain and suffering and also he found interest in his neighbour so this means he could of had a sadistic personality leading up to murderous behaviour and possibly becoming a serial killer possibly even keeping his identity a secret as he was very smart when setting up his traps at a very young age meaning he is quite smart and even more evidence that he is a sadist as in order to become sadistic you the the intelligence to enjoy others pain and suffering. i could go on and on about how kevin could be a murderer but it would be quite boring for others but i found it interesting hearing about the theory for the first time and still find it quite interesting but its just a theory and i have no real evidence that he did become a murderer besides its just a really good movie and for most movies there is no kid start and adult end ( for most and some of those movies are quite good) edit: thanks for the likes

Oh for the love of god, it is just a Christmas movie, you DO NOT need to inculde kevin into this, he is just a kid. He was just defending himself against a couple of burglars, and also the toy store owner probably didn"t press charges, since techinally Kevin was trying to stop them from robbing the place even further. What i'm saying you or NONE of the comment section should be taking this seriously, I repeat it is JUST a christmas movie.

[@waynemacfarland1546]

In Kevin's case, absent-mindedly stealing a toothbrush is one thing, but committing credit card fraud and identity theft takes it to a whole new low!

[@Charles-7]

objection: he was carrying his father's bag that contains the credit card whilst running though the airport, and he accidentally got on the wrong plane, so technically he didn't stole it, just gotten separated with Kevin, also the way Jim Carrey's character want all vigilante on Kevin, he should be charged for treating a minor of all people for thinking he stole it on purpose which wasn't the case, and considering that he had his father's card, he wouldn't be charged by his own father anyway, he'll just be reminded not to do that again, and most importantly he just needed some place to stay in NY, which is better then the streets, that is all.

[@troythompson1768]

​​​@@rickhardman7376Depends on the state. In the 1990s, about half of the US states had no minimum age of criminal responsibility. However, neither Illinois nor New York were on that list: In both Illinois and New York, the minimum age of criminal responsibility was 13 (source: ojjdp.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh176/files/pubs/tryingjuvasadult/table8.html ). Seeing as Kevin was 8 in Home Alone and like 10-ish in Home Alone 2, he could not be indicted in a regular criminal court.

While cell phones existed at that point in history, not everyone had them, even in the case of upper middle class that supposedly Kevin came from.

Kevin should also be charged with identity theft and breaking and entering for calling the cops to the neighbor’s home using the neighbor’s name, entering the neighbor’s home without knowledge or consent by the owner. Also booby trapping is a crime in most states, and some judges may not include deliberately luring others into a booby trap in the defense of self and home.

[@adammaxwell1849]

[@HangmanOfficialUploads]

Objection, Marv's latter conviction of 2x attempted murder should be 2x conspiracy to murder. He wasn't holding the weapon, but enticing his accomplice to use it with malicious intent, although the sentence "shoot her" does not entail the intent to kill. Therefore, additionally, the client's sentence should be even lower.
