| Bravo to the police for the 5 arrests and keeping the investigation open. And to the parents for reporting it. |
| I don’t know this for sure but the one kicking the boys head is probably the one being charged as an adult. |
He’s from Bethesda. I am shocked! The Bethesda Elite do raise children that do this. |
Could be or it is because he assaulted someone and had a weapon! |
Of course, that should be DON’T |
I actually think it’s not - it says he was charged with armed robbery and second degree assault. I’m guessing this is the one that stole that boy’s shoes, and the ‘armed’ charge relates to the gun rumors. Maybe it wasn’t a gun but some other weapon but either way, scary stuff. Given the second degree assault charge, I assume he was not one of the ones kicking the boy in the head, but that the ‘minors’ charged with 1st degree assault are responsible for that. Honestly, they should all be charged as adults. |
Where was I wrong? A WJ parent took their kid to the police station and reported it as an assault. Police will need to do an investigation to determine if it was an assault or a fight. You will need to wait for facts. A police report is not facts, it is a report written when people are interviewed. People can lie in the interview. A police investigation is usually based on facts (though something they are wrong too). Kid comes home beaten up and he told his parents, "I was assaulted", it might be the truth or he lied because he didn't want to admit he was in a fight (and lost). |
| Question - will these kids be allowed back at BCC if they are convicted? |
Well they had probable cause to make those arrests...so there is that. |
Some credit to MCPS as well for working with police. No doubt MCPS would have stonewalled if the video hadn’t been made public, but they still deserve a little credit even though what they did was obviously the right thing to do. |
I don't know. If I were to guess they will either: take them back to BCC (unlikely), send them to a different HS, or to Blair Ewing or RICA.
