US Attorney Pirro Warns DC Parents Their Kids Could Land Them In Jail

Councilwoman Brianne Nadeau questioned the practical consequences.

“How does putting a parent in jail for letting their kid go out keep them from going out?” she asked. “Will the kids end up in foster care? Try again.”

Councilman Robert White delivered perhaps the sharpest criticism.

“People who cause harm should be held accountable,” White said.

“We cannot, however, arrest our way out of family instability, youth crises, homelessness, trauma, or poverty,” he said, WJLA reported.
