An 11-year-old Florida boy who was dragged in handcuffs before television cameras and branded a would-be school shooter is living in fear and struggles to sleep after the felony charge was quietly dropped weeks after his arrest.
Carlo 'Kingston' Dorelli's perp walk in September 2024 was broadcast across the nation, making him the poster child for Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood's hardline 'name and shame' crackdown on students accused of threatening schools.
Deputies said Carlo compiled a so-called 'kill list' with classmates' names and showed it off during a FaceTime chat while flashing an arsenal of knives, swords and airsoft rifles.
One girl in the call claimed he announced plans to shoot up Silver Sands Middle School.
Investigators later raided his bedroom and seized the replica rifles, blades and throwing stars, spreading them out on a table like a drug bust and pointing to a sheet of paper with stab marks next to names.
