Last week in Baltimore, a woman had stopped her car at a traffic light at the intersection of East Lombard Street and South Patterson Park Avenue. She was suddenly set upon by two suspects who dragged her out of her car, assaulted her violently, and attempted to steal her vehicle. The attack was caught on a security camera and the police were later able to track down and arrest the suspects. They were 12 and 14 years old respectively. The police took the boys to the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center following their arrest. But they didn’t spend the night behind bars. That evening they were back home with their parents. Now both the police and some Maryland legislators have requested an investigation into why suspects like these are almost immediately released no matter how serious their crimes may be.Read More
