[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks, most crimes require intent - mens rea. It isn't kidnapping to steal a car you don't realize has a sleeping baby in the backseat. It just isn't, and it never will be.[/quote] Isn't there a part of the law that applies to when there are consequences of your illegal act? Ie you rob someone and they end up dead, or you punch someone and they end up dead? Carjacking and car theft are heinous crimes, and chidlren are toted all around in cars. It's entirely predictable that something like this can happen, and children are often in baby seats during car jackings and taken with the car-even if that was not the intent. Just because it is theft is no different to me (maybe the eyes of the law?). What if grandma had been strapped in the back? The theft and carkjackings need to be deterred and the hammer needs to be brought down on anyone apprehended in these activities. These are NOT youthful highjinks.[/quote]
