The parents should absolutely be charged!

Likely none. Doubtful they’ve been to school regularly

They had to be enrolled somewhere. I live in Ward 4 and have kids in elementary school and would really like to know.

They all had excessive absences that’s why Bowser came out and said she’s going to hold parents accountable for their kids truancy.

So, fine the parents. They won't pay. Jail the parents. Now the kids get to play GTA until they are officially adults at 21 (except when it comes to commiting crimes, you are a juvenile until 26.)

This solution sounds fantastic. Only the mind of a dedicated government employee could have found it.

That is truly unbelievable. If one is a "juvenile" until they are 26 in DC, it should be across the board. No one under the age of 26 should be allowed to
get married
sign a contract (including renting/purchasing houses and cars-or even just getting a gym membership)
live on their own (must have a parent/guardian)
rent a hotel room
buy alcohol or tobacco
consent or seek any medical treatment, including obtaining birth control or abortions, without parental permission
have a bank account, loan, or credit card without an adult (over 26) co-signer

I am mad they dropped first degree murder charges on the grounds that there wasn't premeditation. One of the girls specifically asked the guy in the blue coat if she could fight they guy. She may not have asked if she could kill him, but she saw an elderly, disabled, man and made a plan to hurt him. https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/22-2101 is 1st degree murder and if he was killed during a crime of "mayhem" which is basically assault, it would fit. I realize that either way they can only be incarcerated until age 21, but why not keep that charge?

Investigate them for abuse and neglect, sure, but there's no way to force a kid that age to go to school. You could physically pick them up and bring them if they are small enough and there's a parent who is big enough, I guess, but if a kid doesn't want to go to school and CFSA isn't moving them to a group home or something, the parents are stuck. Not saying there are good parents here--I have no idea--but throughout DC there are kids who won't go to school even though their parents would desperately like them to do so, and there are no services for those families.

Mr. Bike Lane Hater, today is your day: "Mayor unveils “Bike Free DC” plan
Shouting over the cacophony of rush hour traffic, Mayor Bowser unveiled her Bike Free DC plan at a press conference on L Street NW this week. The plan sets ambitious goals to shift bicycle mode share to 0% by 2030. “We have a tremendous opportunity to spur economic activity by ensuring motorists can get to where they need to go faster. Bicyclists and bike lanes too often obstruct what would otherwise be pristine road, ripe for burning rubber.”

This is probably the dumbest April Fool’s joke. We’ve reached a new level of pathetic with the “jokes” people try to make on this site.

This is cringier than even GGWash's annual attempt at April Fool's Day "humor." Mediocre white people like them should not try to be funny.

The 12-year old was arrested after being shot. The news report says the three teens were seen celebrating after the murder last fall.

They may not have known it was wrong to do what they did.

So they're sociopaths? They should be permanently institutionalized if they didn't know it's wrong to do what they did.

I agree. And now there is precedence so hopefully the parents can also be charged. this nation needs a few cases to scare the pants off negligent parents to start putting in serious effort to parent their kids.

Why should children be forced to go to school? The government should provide the essential services that these children need, but they need to be able to make their own choices in life. If you don't want to be trained to be a factory worker, that is your right.

One girl lived in the 500 block of Peabody St. NW if that helps. But they were never/barely at school.

I reallllly don’t think those kids were living with either parent. This situation is fairly typical. Dad was never around, mom is out doing whatever and left the kids with an older relative who is likely well meaning but physically disabled, unequipped to deal with tweens/teens, and loses track of them. The kids move in with friends or some older cousin or whatever. And the school system loses track of them. It usually happens when they’re HS age but these kids just did everything faster than most.

What makes you think there are fathers involved in these girls’ lives?
