Jeanine Pirro on Parents of Children Partaking in ‘Teen Takeovers’ in Wash. D.C.: If They Failed to Prevent Participation, ‘We’re Going to Charge Them’

EXCERPT:

PIRRO: “And as we grapple with this problem, there is one area that hasn’t been discussed. Parental involvement has been a noted gap in any discussion. And I am here to say, as the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, that ends today. 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. This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts.”
