2nd boy admits shopping cart push that hurt woman

NEW YORK

The boy pleaded guilty Wednesday to assault. His punishment for the Oct. 30 prank could entail 18 months or more in a juvenile facility.

The other boy pleaded guilty last week. He's now 13. Both are being held until court dates next month.

The case drew attention nationwide. An editorial in The Augusta Chronicle in Georgia portrayed it as evidence that "at least one of society's wheels is completely off the rails."
