Five Juvenile Girls in JSQ Busted

JCRegister — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:42:54 +0000

Wednesday night is a time when 12-year olds should be doing their homeworks. But this group of five girls (ages 12-16!) was roaming around the Journal Square area mugging adult women twice their age.

Fortunately, they were busted last night at Baldwin Avenue and Wayne Street (see C on the map) after witnesses told the cops that they saw the girls attacking a woman at Sip Avenue and Jones Street. (see A on the map)

Here’s more snippet of the news:

“…another woman came up to the officers and said she had been mugged by the same girls earlier on Mercer Street, reports said. (See green highlight)

Police said the girls – who were all wearing red – matched the description of a group of girls that was attacking people in the area of Vroom Street and Tuers Avenue… (see B on the map) “

After reading the news here, I can’t help but ask: Were the parents of these kids at fault?
