Unbelievable. So young and so hardened. I can’t wrap my head around it. Why has DC been spiraling while Baltimore street crime has been decreasing?

Try them as adults. Lock them away. Don't let them out.

And why am I willing to bet the house that this is not the first time that they have been involved with the legal system.

One of the girls was recently shot. Smh. I commute to DC once a week via Marc and Metro. I dunno but some of their teenagers seem particularly feral. Even moreso than what I see in Baltimore. Or maybe I notice more cause I’m in a different city??

Imagine if we had 600K-1M per year more of these unwanted children roaming the streets.

I'm not sure I understand your point. It's the number of annual abortions in the US. Bad form P20. You should know I'm fully in the camp of choice by women, their immediate families, and their healthcare clinicians. It is not my decision to make, but your comment implies innocent children that would be born forcibly instead of aborted beforehand are already predestined to a life of crime and misery, leading to the kind of behavior of these awful teens. I'll assume these teens were born to a mother who consciously chose to have children. Surely you aren't implying if only the pregnant mom should have aborted because she somehow knew these kids would have grown up like this, are you? It is a leap to a conclusion I'm not willing to take.

Enough about abortion.
Start a separate thread p20....
Let's stay on topic.
Further abortion discussion will be deleted so we don't have to lock the thread.

I have to wonder what kind of living hell these teens are living in that would take them down this path. My youngest son works for the DJS and has been a house counselor in juvenile facilities. Some of the stories he has shared about the lives of the girls in his care are so horrible it amazes me that some of them haven't gone down this kind of path. One thirteen year old girl was always getting picked up for prostitution, every time she would tell the authorities that her uncle who was her legal guardian was also her pimp but every time the courts who release her back to his care. The last time she was brought to his facility was for trying to kill her uncle. They were talking about putting her in adult jail but he was transferred and doesn't know what happened to her.

He has had some very difficult jobs since he got off active duty with the Marines. He has about 5 more years at DJS and then he can retire. Right now he is a juvenile parole officer.

I declined a position at DJS a few weeks before I accepted my current role. It takes someone special to work there. It is not me and bless your son.

Whatever their past, the sad truth is these children are unsalvageable. The best thing we can do is whatever we must to protect others from them for as long as legally possible.

I can’t wrap my head around how kids this young become that violent and jaded to life. This can’t be the first time they killed.

Imagine if we had 600K-1M per year more of these unwanted children roaming the streets. We are already getting there and not for the reason you are implying. Since 2021, migrant children have been traveling alone to the United States in record numbers: Nearly 400,000 children have crossed the southern border by themselves, most of them fleeing extreme poverty.
