MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — Two 16-year-olds have been arrested and charged with robbing a person at a McDonald's in Silver Spring on Friday.

Detectives with the Montgomery County Department of Police determined that a juvenile victim was at the fast food restaurant on Georgie Avenue, when he was approached by two teens, a boy and a girl, who demanded his shoes. When the victim refused, he was punched in the face and his shoes were taken.

The two 16-year-olds left in a Honda SUV, police said. Soon after, officers saw them leaving John F. Kennedy High School, a three-minute drive away from the McDonald's, in Wheaton-Glenmont, and get in the same SUV connected to the robbery. Officers then conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which they say had stolen items from the robbery.

A privately manufactured gun, also known as a ghost gun, and a large quantity of fentanyl pills were found. The two teens were then taken into custody.

Police said the 16-year-old girl was taken to the police station, where she was released to her mother. The 16-year-old boy was taken to the Central Processing Unit, where he was charged as an adult.

What’s the message here? Girl kid goes home with mom and boy kid charged as an adult?

I’ve seen this type message play out from Kindergarten to College. Girl cries and doesn’t get in trouble. Boy gets sent to principal or gets detention or gets suspended.

This is a crime. She goes home with mom, he goes to jail and charged as an adult? Wtf

I don't know, maybe the boy did the punching and the ghost gun and fentanyl belonged to him and the girl was unaware of the gun and drugs in the car? Of course, I'm just speculating without all the facts - just like you are. Maybe you should wait for more details to come out before making assumptions that the DA's office is sexist.

They both participated in the robbery. Maybe she wasn’t the gun or car owner, but she certainly was participating in the theft. That cannot be overlooked.

No one is overlooking anything. The point is that custody decisions are made by someone with more information than some rando on DCUM. Maybe the boy didn't have a parent or guardian show up to whom he could be released; did that occur to you?

It doesn't appear that the girl was charged, which is an issue because she committed a crime.

Alleged. We still have constitutionally protected rights in this country despite the GOP's best efforts.

Allegations are quite sufficient for an arrest. the other alleged assailant was arrested and taken into custody.

I also had a student suspended for fighting recently. Kids were discussing whether or not they thought this student would be expelled. I overheard one student say, "It's whack you bring drugs to school and get like no punishment but can get expelled for a fight." This is the perception the kids have...little to no consequence for drugs. I was surprised they think a fight can lead to expulsion because I have yet to see that ever happen.

Incredible. As a teacher, are you not able to talk to admin and shouldn't admin be able to alert the Community Engagement Officer who can then keep an eye on the kid you're concerned about?
