DC just had another weekend of controversy around out-of-control behavior by huge groups of teens, this time around the Navy Yard. Allegations of youth lawlessness have been front and center in DC for a few years, often tied to the related question of school truancy. Back in August, we talked about this with the Washington Post’s Lauren Lumpkin and Robert Samuels. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
