Accused insurrectionist Bruno Joseph Cua and his parents are playing the "I just want to go home to Mom and Dad" card in seeking his release from jail while he awaits trial in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot.

That might not be the greatest strategy.

Turns out the judicial system isn't all that enamored with Mom and Dad since they were the ones who drove their 18-year-old son to the infamous "Stop the Steal" Trump rally in Washington D.C. Parents Joseph and Alise Cua don't deny knowing that their son -- the youngest person arrested in the mob--had posted earlier violent messages on social media and then broke into the Capitol.

The folks also had to know that Cua has been cited by police in early December in their hometown of Milton, GA for creating a disturbance at a local elementary school. Police said Cua was driving erratically in his speeding pickup truck in the school parking lot while "waving my (Trump) flag." Bruno's younger brother was there.

Cua's tearful mother told U.S. District Court Judge Randolph D. Moss Thursday that since her son's arrest she had spent time "feeling, quite frankly, just stupid for believing what I believed," the Huffington Post reported. "I really should've known better," she said, adding that she and her son felt "ridiculous" for believing the former president's lies about voter fraud. We are completely broken and just honestly and truly remorseful to the core of our beings, and we're asking for a chance."
