So a 16-year-old breaks into 121 cars in one night across three Maryland counties, causing thousands in damage to working families, and gets released after just 5 hours? Is anyone surprised by this level of judicial insanity?

We dive into the Laurel, Maryland case that perfectly showcases our broken justice system. While 54 families in Laurel alone lost transportation and had to pay deductibles they couldn't afford, officials decided this wasn't "violent enough" to warrant accountability. The kid had stolen car keys and other evidence at his home, yet Maryland's Department of Juvenile Services said no prior record means no consequences.

Meanwhile, the police chief is begging for basic accountability while parents miss work to clean up shattered glass. What message does this send to other criminals? When did property destruction stop mattering because it wasn't "violent"?

Drop a comment - should parents be held financially responsible when their minor children cause this level of taxpayer-funded chaos? Like and subscribe if you're tired of seeing victims pay while criminals walk free.
