[quote]"In early June, D.C. prosecutors dismissed criminal charges against a notable offender: an 11-year-old who police alleged was responsible for an assault and two robberies the previous month, documents show.

But the youth, who agreed to stay out of Northwest D.C. and wear an ankle monitor if a probation officer determined it was necessary to resolve the charges, didn’t stay out of the court system for long. On Wednesday, he appeared virtually in court again — in connection with another robbery." [/quote]

What are we doing in this city? 11 years old. SMH[/quote]

I would like our Council Members to speak to what they actually do to "rehabilitate" youth at DCs department of youth rehabilitative services. What are the actual services and milestones for a youth to be considered 'rehabilitated'?  Counseling hour requirements, volunteer hour requirements like any dc highschooler, GED requirement, clean behavior track, summer job? What's the expectation for socializing these kids in exchange for their clean record at 21, and how is that serviced? We spend a ton of money as taxpayers on this, and give these kids a lot of latitude and frankly forgiveness. What do we get to expect in return?
