DC Mother Turns in 12-Year-Old Son for Fatal Attempted Carjacking
Clear Facts:
- A DC mother recognized and turned in her 12-year-old son for a failed carjacking that left a 13-year-old dead.
- The juvenile was connected to the crime by clothing found in his room and was arrested after his mother called the police.
- The boy faces carjacking charges, as the judge did not find enough evidence for armed carjacking due to lack of a firearm connection.
In a striking act of parental responsibility, a Washington, DC mother turned her 12-year-old son over to the police upon recognizing him in a photo circulated by authorities.
The young suspect was allegedly involved in a botched carjacking that resulted in the shooting death of his 13-year-old associate, Vernard Toney Jr., by the off-duty officer they targeted.
The incident, which shook the community, occurred on October 28 just after 10 pm outside the US Attorney’s Office.
Details emerged during a juvenile court hearing, where surveillance footage depicted the minors approaching the officer’s car, with the 13-year-old entering the passenger side and the 12-year-old allegedly confronting the officer with a demand to exit the vehicle.
Despite the tragic outcome and a past marred by behavioral problems beginning at age 5, this event marks the boy’s first brush with the DC court system.
The mother’s attempts to intervene in her son’s path towards delinquency, including seeking help from a local hospital, tragically did not avert the course of events.
The assistant attorney general pushed for the juvenile to be detained on carjacking charges.
However, with no weapons linked to the youths, the judge did not find sufficient grounds for an armed carjacking charge, opting instead for a carjacking charge.
The minor is now being held at a juvenile facility, with the city witnessing a worrying uptick in carjackings, increasingly perpetrated by young offenders.

My closing pay test changed into $8750 simply running 12 hours for each week. My neighbour have discovered the estimation of $15k for a long term and he or she works round 20 hours for seven days. I cannot agree with how direct it changed into as soon as I tried

I’m waiting for the cop to be arrested for murder of a 13 year old. Where is that part of the story?

The boys were trying to hijack a driver. Why would we charge the officer with murder? Hijackings are normally done with weapons, so he had every reason to assume a gun was involved. We have got to get over our pro-criminal slant and get tough with these criminals, even if they are 12 years old.

Good for this mother. He in Baltimore we let 10, 11, 12-year-old criminals walk because of the stupid notion by Jill Carter “that they’re little brains aren’t developed to understand right from wrong. I call balls on this one because you teach kids right from wrong when you tell them not to do something or they’ll be consequences. Seems to be it’s easier to teach a dog than it is to teach your kids.

You got that right. In 1951, I was forced to return a toy I stole. I cried all the way, but since then, I learned not to steal.

You know SUNSHINE KID, I would have had my rear end paddled for doing something wrong, but now they let kids do just what they want. Too many kids are born because they will bring in a check from the government. They know their kids a bad but they’re bringing home the bacon, so MOM doesn’t have to work.
