CHICAGO - Alyssa Blanchard was so traumatized after being carjacked at gunpoint last week outside her Calumet Heights home that she’s now scared to go outside.
Chicago police say a group of children, ages 10 to 17, carjacked Blanchard and at least 15 other people since late June — wreaking havoc on Blanchard’s generally peaceful South Side neighborhood.
I’m scared to use my garage. I don’t feel safe in my neighborhood,” said Blanchard, an elementary school teacher at Chicago Public Schools.
What’s especially painful for Blanchard was seeing her stolen BMW used the next day to carjack a woman in the parking lot of Trinity Hospital, a few blocks from her home, she said.
They took her purse, which had about $300 inside, and jumped inside her BMW and rode off, she said.
Blanchard said she was dismayed to see such young children involved in this type of crime.
“I teach this age group and I can’t believe they would do this,” she said.
Police published a community alert Sunday evening warning of 14 other carjackings tied to the children. According to the alert, the children are committing the carjackings at a greater frequency, with six carjackings reported just last Saturday:

Now you know why they want to disarm us.
The BeetleJuice’s flying monkeys...nothing to see here.
“Fly, my young ones.....FLY!!!!”
Shoot them.
You will be doing society a service.
They won’t be car-jacking anyone else.
We need to abolish that police.
That will fix it.
On a side note, the publik skrewl teacher had 300 bucks in her purse and drives a Beemer?
We’re paying them way too darn much.
We need to dismantle federal presence in Chicago and relocate to a friendlier location in Illinois.
South side of Chicago? Well the South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town, and if you go down there you better just beware.
“I teach this age group and I can’t believe they would do this,” she said.
She’s an idiot.
Carjackings Matter
Second City Cop has a post about this on his blog. The comments afterwards are a hoot, as usual. Dark humor keeps them from going insane.
Am I still allowed to use the word “dark”? I don’t want to get in trouble with the thought police.
Fox is reporting the triple minority mayor is now asking for federal help. Too bad it too so many murders...some children to do the right thing...what a waste of life. Truly tragic.
And she’s almost certainly a Dem voter.
Who is teaching kids 10 years old how to hijack a car?
Is it bigoted or insensitive to say that these kids are like a wolf pack, feral out-of-control adolescents?
When they hate some people so bad, she doesn’t matter, just Trump.
She doesn't know much about her "students," either. Grossly overpaid!
Raised by druggie or workaholic parents most likely.
Bimmer is the correct term for BMW cars while
Beemer and Beamer are used for BMW motorcycles.
“I teach this age group and I can’t believe they would do this,” she said.
Mmm hmmmm
So, kids as young as 10 are jacking cars...and that’s astonishing to people???? If so, these people who are astonished really need to learn about streetwise kids.
