net_ops are you saying you never stayed out until 9pm in the middle of summer when you were 12? I did all the time and later; played games in the dark all the time.

Another punk. Sad to see that our society continues down this ugly road. I would like to know why a 12 year old is out at 9pm without his/her parents? They need to be arrested for neglect.

Sounds like the older kid was looking for an excuse and picking fights, sad thing is he picked a child to pick on and not an adult that could have whooped his

rear. Thankfully this sort of nonsense is rare even in the low rent districts in Loudoun.

Think police will ever release a little bit more information on the crime and if the general public is in danger? 16 though? Sounds like a jump-in or an intitiation! Yall know what I mean?

I was there that night down the street. It was a scary feeling hearing that a young child got stabbed, when I have my own children who play outside. But they said the suspect ran don our street and threw the weapon. Yesterday Monday 6/20, I saw police with Canine canvassing the area. So its a scary feeling knowing that the weapon is somewhere in our neighborhood, and children can find it!! But I am glad that they caught the suspect, and I hope the 12 yr old is doing okay!!

Wow. What is a twelve year old doing out walking at 9pm by themselves? Chris, use what you have learned in school. That way of speaking will only get you a job at McDonalds, because no one will take you seriously. It may seem cool now, but in the long run you will be cooler when you have a great job that allows you get the nicer things in life. Not judging, just speaking from experience.
