In any case, I have seriously been thinking Instagram, Snapchat and other social media should be locked to those only 18 years or older. Social media and and the need for likes in young growing minds produces endorphins similar to drugs.

School funding should be increased to deal with the wholeness of children (mentally, emotionally, socially)

Lots of these kids don't understand robbery and theft is wrong because they see their peers bragging about such activities online.

Netflix has a really great show called "Adolescence" which shows you the mind of impressionable children and the harms social media is causing. I other every parent to watch...very informative.

I'm a teacher. This is not the answer. Schools have tried to fill the parenting gap for the past 20 years, to the point where some schools are now basically daycares with a side of academics. It's not fair to the kids who show up ready and eager to learn, it's not fair to the kids who have a shot but need more focus and attention which is being diverted to the ones who are only there to stay out of juvie, it's not fair to the teachers who aren't trained to be therapists and social workers and teach academic content, and it's not fair to the kids who really need more intensive intervention than what can reasonably be offered in a school setting. Anyone setting things on fire in a store and committing robbery at 12-14 years of age is not going to be well served in a regular school.

Yup. 100% agree. Our public schools are declining because we try to use them to solve all of society’s problems

Agree, agree, agree.

yup, put them in jail or prison not back in school or juvenile rehab

Even a kid raised under the most questionable circumstances knows this is wrong. Don’t blame it on social media.

Only a really bad kid robs somebody’s Grandma.

That sort of crime goes beyond poor judgment

They probably needed money to buy some bread.

You mean eggs?

Anyone who thinks this way is a fool.

Check these kids’ attendance records. I’m sure they aren’t in school very often.

It’s weird they had come from DC to Rockville. Looks like there is a CVS, an ultra …. Not a lot that seems like it would attract teens. I wish they’d name the business. It’s so coy not to.

I thought maybe the Tesla store for arson but that’s a block further up.

Two 14 year olds and a 12 year old (FFS!) from DC set a fire in a store on Rockville Pike then ran away (looking for other ways to act like thugs) and found an unsuspecting old lady to rob (stole her purse) AND THEN returned to the business where they had lit a fire and brought their gal pal with them. They were arrested and referred to MoCo’s juvenile services…which typically does a lite touch warm and fuzzy consult and oftentimes doesn’t even result in a referral to actual court.

I have questions, which is why I’m posting here:

1. What do you do with kids who set fires in businesses and rob people? Imho it’s very different from a kid caught drinking underage or even one who quietly shoplifts a candy bar.

2. Why are young tweens/teens from DC schlepping to Rockville? It’s not a destination for young people. Are they looking for victims who aren’t likely to recognize them?

3. Did they read about Trump’s crackdown on crime in DC and figure it’s safer to commit crime in MoCo?

Shut up you maga moron

Trump is a gif dammed criminal

Yes this kids did a horrible thing but it’s not national security

This is your third post in the last two says about DC crime worry about his Trump is going up use is as pawns did Russia and running for a third term,

Your god dammed right yo post on this website is at stake you moron, traitor fool
