One of America’s most notorious crime-ridden cities is giving a literal get-out-of-jail free card to a boy driving a stolen vehicle.
As WBAL reported, Baltimore police on Friday said that a 12-year-old youth was driving a stolen car on Sept. 30 and collided with an elderly motorcyclist around 1 p.m. on North West Avenue.
The motorcyclist, 69-year-old Barry Wright of Baltimore County, died at the scene.
The boy was driving the car with a 15-year-old female passenger. According to WBAL, officers found them near the intersection of North Dukeland Street and West North Avenue, where the car became disabled.
Video shows the two getting out of the vehicle and trying to run away. They were later apprehended.
Witnesses revealed more details about the horrific and avoidable accident to WBAL. These included the victim flipping into the air upon impact and the fact that the 12-year-old boy blew through a red light.
“I was at the corner of North (West) and Dukeland waiting for the light for me to go across. I seen the car hit the motorcycle and I was just like ‘oh my God,” and debris was coming over on the side,” A woman named Trina told the outlet. “I seen the guy flip in the air (and) then these two cowards going to get out of the car and run.”
“The teenagers decided to run a red light,” said Viola Church. “I was actually there when the ambulance was performing CPR and at that time you just knew there was nothing else they could do for him.”
WBAL reported that the young boy will face no criminal charges for the incident. Instead, police submitted a Child in Need of Supervision (CINS) referral and met with the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services.
The department will decide in 15 days what comes next for the boy. This could mean counseling or court-ordered supervision for the child.
The 15-year-old girl, however, was arrested and charged with motor vehicle theft. She is being held at the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center.
Church called out what she understandably viewed as completely lackluster punishment for the children.
“I think it does a disservice when you’re not holding these kids accountable. I think it’s imperative that not only the parents are held accountable but the kids as well,” Church told WBAL. “I absolutely think (the victim’s family) is going to want some type of justice and if you’re not going to charge these young people, there has to be an alternative.
“You have to keep in mind the victims, he didn’t ask for that.”
