[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other thread (in Local Politics) got me wondering if this is really a problem with school kids these days.

From that thread:

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1192321.page

“Prince George’s County Police say the number of juveniles being robbed as they walk to and from school is a serious problem the county right now.

Taking action, the Ardmore Springdale Association is starting a "Community Power Hour" in the neighborhoods around Charles H. Flowers High School, a county school police say saw two incidents targeting students last month.

Prince George’s County Council Chair Jolene Ivey tells FOX 5 she is participating with the association, handing out flyers about "Community Power Hour" effort from 2-3 p.m. Monday, March 11.

The effort is calling on neighbors who have outdoor things to do, like walk their dog or mow the lawn, to purposefully do so between 2-3 p.m. on weekdays.”

When will this stop happening ? [/quote]

We have been in PGCPS for 11 years and have never had this problem.  I'm guessing some of this comes from the fact that the kids in that neighborhood are more affluent than some other schools and have expensive clothing/shoes/electronics.  We did get a message from our principal stating that parents should be cautious about sending kids to school in expensive things (eg Canada Goose).  
This is a DMV problem, not just a PG problem.[/quote]
