Few Programs Steer Child Carjackers Away From Trouble – Better Government Association

The juvenile judges interviewed said because carjacking is considered a violent crime, they are often precluded from assigning the arrestees to programs designed more to divert nonviolent offenders. That leaves few options for the minors brought into court on carjacking charges, they said.

No government program can “steer child carjackers” from doing more car-jackings once they’re released from police custody. (Presently they get a 2-hour “video + snacks” session in lieu of juvenile detention.) Maybe their mothers should be compelled to take away their offender-children’s I-phones, so they can’t continue to post “gun + gang-sign” selfies and “speeding car” videos. Maybe Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram (?) should ban arrested carjackers from their media sites.
