The trend of young people fleeing police in stolen cars continues to be a genuine concern, illustrated by a 15-year-old in California who used a C6 Corvette to run from San Bernardino County deputies on the night of October 11. The age of the driver makes the case all the more startling.
That someone so young would not only steal a sports car but also lead deputies on a chase speaks to a troubling pattern. Incidents like this raise tough questions about how to address juvenile involvement in these dangerous pursuits.
