Car thefts by 12 yo. Released to parents

[Anonymous]

I heard on the radio this morning that a new law is going to affect on November 1st where charges can be filed for kids 10-12 for some crimes including auto theft.

Good. Any kind of felony theft should be included. My kid had a phone stolen at MS last year and the school inferred that they would be grateful if we pressed charges. Since the offender was only 12 we were not able to.

Juvenile incarcerations across the country are down by 70 percent in the last 10 years. While this can be a good thing for petty offenses it is a nightmare for schools.

Kids who 10 years ago would be in juvenile hall or juvenile camps for serious offenses like car theft, carjackings, assaults, armed robberies, etc. are now just being released to their parents. They become emboldened to do whatever they want. These kids attend middle schools and high schools where they also wreak havoc.

Imagine that incorrigible 12 year old in 6th or 7th grade at your child’s school. Imagine how much time he is taking away from classroom instruction, the problems he is causing walking the halls, at PE, at lunch. His poor teachers and classmates.

That is not possible because he is a “juvenile offender” up to his 26th birthday.

Then promote him from juvenile hall to prison. The DC schools are a pipeline to prison why should the juvenile jail be any different.

It's take a village to raise a child, not parents.

This^. Obviously, parents, teachers and CPS can't be trusted in this case and juvi is unlikely to do any better.

Yes but parents still have major responsibility. Its not like its easy for rest of us either but if you pop a baby out, you better be ready to make required sacrifices.

Parents don't even need to feed their children. Schools now offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. Parents just undermine the school anyway.

[quote=Anonymous]I don’t even know where to post this, but I’ll start here since this has to do with Montgomery county law.

A 12 year old has been stealing cars from Montgomery County dealerships. They have him on video and he was arrested but since he is only 12 the police are forced to return to release him to his parents. He’s done it again and again and again.

Part of me understands the purpose of this law, but the threshold for releasing 12 children back to parents might need to be lower.

This isn't a cps case. CPS is parent abuse or neglect. It could be neglect but that's not going to count. This is a crime. Its juvenile justice.

A 12 yo does not belong in juvie

A 12 year old thug like this also doesn’t belong on the streets. Lock him up. Obviously his mother has failed him.
