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.

READ| Montgomery County schools consider weapons detectors amid safety concerns

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.

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.

“supporting” lol. and how did it take this long?

DC give minors free metro passes to commit crimes.

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

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

Maybe he takes Uber

This. They probably want support--their child is incorrigible. Sometimes, parents need help from the state. For all we know they may wonderful parents, and their kid may just be a total dud right now.

My kid hasn't robbed any car dealerships. Are other parents just duds?

Well my kid knows how to disable security cameras and alarms, and can commit auto theft while also completing any necessary auto repairs and forging title and insurance paperwork. He changes the oil while I read to him and I walk him up and down the aisle of the dealership for breaks. Sometimes we even just talk with each other as he commits this theft because we enjoy each other’s company unlike all those kids at home watching Disney movies and YouTube kids.

Clearly I am the best and all other parents are duds.

Has there been any discussions from any elected official in the MD House or Senate about changing the law so that kids under 13 can be prosecuted/receive additional help or supports?

It's time to bring back reform school, humane reform school that actually reforms. Kids go in, and don't come out until a parole type board with teachers, social workers, judge, community members -whatever- meet and assesses their progress and that they have met standards -like GED, job training, counseling - that will serve them socially.

No, boarding school or military and integrated back into the community. I don't support permanently having the government be in control of someone's life. There should be constraints on the government as well as the child. But realistically society has depreciated because the government refuses to provide quality food production, wholistic wrap around services and money for all working mothers no matter economics and capitalism forces this country to have inequality so this is what happens when you continually punish the poor.

That's fine - I just think that there should be conditions met for release, otherwise you get an extended stay. The problem with youth reform is there are some kids who go in, refuse to use the services, fight other kids, and are released as hardened criminals once their "time is up" who have no social,.academic or job schools compared to their peers. They are also young, and have a long criminal pathway ahead of them because they didn't learn anything worthwhile in their formative years. And that pathway will involve preying on others. Accounting for disabilities etc. , there should be at least a tacked on time (another year or two) if the kid does not pursue fruitful academic, job skills and counseling pathways (to their best ability) while "in".. I don't care if they're at a boarding school - same applies. Not sure how you would evaluate it - maybe the same way teachers are evaluated - holistically. No one thing tanks it, but a total lack of effort would.
