Pirro Threatens to Charge Parents of ‘Youths’ who Violate Curfew Amid Disturbing Trend of “Teen Takeovers” (VIDEO)
US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro on Friday announced her office will be charging parents of ‘youths’ who violate curfew amid a disturbing trend of ‘teen takeovers.
Mobs of teens are rampaging through the streets of DC and other cities across the country, terrifying residents and causing major damage.
Pirro says she’s going after the parents.
Jeanine Pirro said she will charge the parents with the local DC statute 22-811.
“Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.’s curfew law, and the specific statute that we will use is a violation of D.C. Code 22-811, and it involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor,” she said.
“This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts.”
“And if you drop your kid off, and you fail to supervise them, or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court-ordered classes, and possible jail time!”
“Penalties can be imposed even if the juvenile minor is not prosecuted,” she said.
“So a parent commits this offense if they permit, or by insufficient control, allow a minor under the age of 18 to violate a curfew.”
“Law-abiding taxpayers should no longer have to pay for parental neglect,” Pirro said on Friday during a press conference.
“Parents, do your job. Or we will do ours,” she said.
“The penalty is up to six months imprisonment, so if the evidence shows the parent knew, or should have known, or permitted, or failed to prevent participation, we’re going to charge them,” she said.
“Now, we’re going to be asking the Metropolitan Police Department to issue parental citations whenever a minor’s curfew violation is tied to a takeover.”
“We will seek to pair these citations with mandatory parental notification and court-mandated parental classes or family counseling as a condition of the resolution of the case.”
