DC - Two teen girls charged with murder in carjacking death of Uber Eats driver, Mar 2021

They will probably be rehabilitated and get scholarships to Harvard after release.

I hope not but probably not far from the truth. Anyone who does what they did has no empathy, are lacking humanity, and are sociopaths, which means true rehabilitation is unlikely. IMO

At least to the chief of police.

Well, it was "just a 'Joyride', that went badly". According to the Mayor in DC.

15-year-old given max sentence in deadly carjacking | whas11.com


"The judge called it an "unthinkable crime," and said it was "incomprehensible" that a child would be so "unfeeling," before sentencing the older of two teen girls involved in the carjacking murder of grandfather and Pakistani immigrant Mohammed Anwar. The judge gave the 15-year-old the maximum sentence -- six years of youth detention."

"The girl will have to be released on her 21st birthday, and D.C. judge Lynn Leibovitz said she hoped by that time the girl will have received services so she's "never in a position to do anything like this again."

"There is so much our family has endured because of you," Anwar's niece said through tears, speaking directly to the girl. "In these few months since March 23, we were literally at the cemetery for his burial, when we learned a video of the incident was uploaded to the internet, and went viral quickly after, including in Pakistan, which is half a world away. I cannot begin to tell you how agonizing and devastating it is to watch your loved one die so violently, and have the world view it as entertainment on websites like Worldstar Hip Hop and TMZ. There are nights we cannot sleep as the horrific video replays in our heads over and over and over again. We are haunted by the image of his broken, crumpled body lying on the pavement, and him struggling to move. It is incredibly heartbreaking to watch the respondents lack empathy, and immediately cry out for their cell phones, while he is laying literally at their feet."

Anyone else see a wrongful death suit here???

These are feral children. The blame lies solely on a lack of parenting.

At that age, I would be at home, reading books or playing, never out to commit a crime.

You would have had a far different upbringing than these girls.

Believe it or not, I have been in homes that had no books, no games, puzzles, toys, tablets, computers, or internet access.

For some reason, those were the same children having the most problems at school, when they showed up. And, oddly, this is not a poverty issue. I have been in very poor homes, with parents who spoke almost no English, full of books, tablets, internet access. And homes with large entertainment centers, huge TV sets, all of the kids wearing the newest Nike shoes, not a book to be seen.

I hate these girls. IMO they are psychopaths. Like @neesaki said - no empathy and rehabilitation is unlikely. They are a danger to society.

They will offend again, count on it.

Yup.

Seems to be a factor:

I've reached across the table during a parent/teacher conference and covered the screen of the parent's phone with my hand or a sheet of paper.

In many situations, no one is raising the children. No one.

We jaded posters here don't wonder why predators have an easy time gaining the trust of kids....

RIP, Mr. Anwar, comfort to your loved ones.

(Discomfort to certain employees of The District.)
