Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates aims to hold parents accountable after carjacking spree case

As Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates announced charges Wednesday against juveniles involved in a carjacking and robbery spree last fall, he also cited the need to hold parents criminally and financially accountable in cases where parents know of their child’s crimes. Baltimore prosecutors accused 20 young people of a series of armed carjackings and robberies throughout the city in October and November.
