They were found hours later when the owner of a hair salon called 911 after she saw the boys in the woods nearby, searched them and let them inside as they waited for police

Formidable woman. Impressive.

Put a small explosive in that ankle bracelet...

Encapsulate a little ring of detcord in the ankle bracelet.

Does ankle jewelry track ongoing movement/locations or just alert upon the breaking of a set area perimeter?

Good idea.

And if the perps get out of line, kaboom 💥! Maybe then they’ll see the error of their ways, but if not, oh well.

These kids need to be out cutting lawns and picking up trash in the hot sun all day. No time to do crime.

"Two of them were taken to a juvenile facility outside the county and the other two with ankle bracelets were released to their parents

What a joke.

There’s a good chance they knew they weren’t being monitored properly.

Even street monkeys figure some things out after a while.

The Saudis have the right idea.

This stuff will end real quick when half the "scholars" and "honor roll students" in the 'hood have stumps where their left hands used to be.

“the other two with ankle bracelets were released to their parents.”

i think i’ve spotted part of the problem ...

[hanamizu]

The age of the ‘yutes’ is not mentioned. Could well be that the two released to their parents are young enough that they cannot be sent to juvie.

You guys are gettin slack. 16 posts in, with some mentioning explosives in "secure adornments",
and no mention of The Running Man? Tsk, tsk.. 😛

Stepdaughters car was broken into and had something a little usual stolen. Figured they could be caught due to item and sure enough he was caught and had an ankle ring. Then he was tied to 30 other car break ins.
