Kid needs to be sent to military school.

They'll straighten him out.

Do you know what carjacking is?

The tweet says breaking into the dealership and using keys to steal the cars, so not carjacking. The cars were not occupied. "On numerous occasions, the gates to the dealerships are rammed (usually by stolen cars) & keys are stolen from inside."

Sounds like this kid is one of those violence interrupters. He's getting cars away from people who could be carjacked. Has DC started paying him yet?

Yes, but the ease of stealing Kias and Hyundais is unrelated to carjacking.

Maybe arrest the parents?

His Mother doesn’t care where her kid is at night. CPS needs to get involved.

This specific kid has been doing this a lot. He never gets into trouble. He lives in DC and was returned to his mother’s house. He needs to spend time in juvenile jail.

I had friends who were fostering a kid who was car jacking (this was like a week after they got him and so not a reflection on them). He was caught and returned to his foster parents -- they ended up deciding to stop fostering because they were so frustrated that the kid was just emboldened that the police did nothing to him.

Lock him up 10 years per offense.

I mean the right answer here is that the kid's arrest and the allegations against him should immediately trigger a CPS investigation and the parents should be sent to parenting classes and the family should be in a court-ordered program to address family dysfunction that is allowing this to happen.

There's no real advantage to NOT releasing him to his parents because he will wind up in juvie or foster care and neither is likely to stop this kid from re-offending or escalating. A child engaged in this behavior at 12 is not going to be scared straight by juvenile detention. He's going to network and learn some new tricks.

My kid is such a dumba**. He's got no game.

Tell it to Kristin Mink

I don’t even know where to post this, but I’ll start here since this has to do with Montgomery county law.

A 12 year old has been stealing cars from Montgomery County dealerships. They have him on video and he was arrested but since he is only 12 the police are forced to return to release him to his parents. He’s done it again and again and again.

Part of me understands the purpose of this law, but the threshold for releasing 12 children back to parents might need to be lower.
