[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per WJLA, Maryland is in the process of supporting this kid with a CINS (Child in Need of Supervision) petition: https://wjla.com/news/local/juvenile-crime-repeat-offender-12-year-old-boy-stolen-car-armed-jacking-maryland-department-juvenile-services-child-needs-supervision-chief-victor-brito-john-mccarthy-dmv-09-11-2024#

[QUOTE]According to a source, Maryland's Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) is now acting on a Child in Need of Supervision (CINS) petition, which was filed by police. It declares that a kid needs help.

According to a DJS chart, if the DJS agrees he needs supervision, the case goes to court for a judge to decide if the child should have supervision in the community or in a residential treatment program.

Starting on Nov. 1, Maryland law will require an automatic request for a CINS finding if a child under 13 is caught stealing a car. This means that the 12-year-old would have been plugged into the system months ago.

However, some, including Montgomery County State’s attorney John McCarthy, wonder if that will make a difference.[/QUOTE]

I'm confused because there was no mention of DC and I read that the boy was a DC resident, not a Maryland one.

Also, if he's a DC resident and not a Maryland one, how is he getting from DC into Rockville and College Park? I imagine the metro? Is he fare jumping? Is WMATA not intercepting him as he's fare jumping? Seems like more entities should be held accountable than just Montgomery County's.[/quote]

Uh, the kid is stealing cars.  He can drive from DC into Rockville and College Park.   [/quote]

From what I read, he's stealing cars from dealerships IN Rockville and College Park. He has to get there somehow.[/quote]

Maybe he takes Uber [/quote]
