A 16yr old male suspect of three stabbings was caught Tuesday after after an hour long manhunt. Darius Young, of Dorchester is suspected of stabbing three women, two in Boston and one in Revere. He also has warrants out for his arrest on charges of armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
This type of incident shows to me that there needs to be more programs to help teens especially those that are involved in violence. Sixteen years old is a very young age for someone to be involved in stabbings of three different women. There needs to be programs that can keep teenagers especially those that are at a high risk to be involved in violence occupied, either through different sports or recreation programs and even jobs. Also, for those that are already involved in youth violence and may be a part of the juvenile justice system, they need to learn about the risks of getting involved in violence and learn another way of dealing with their aggression. This incident shows why there is a need for more social service programs that are aimed at youth violence.
