alone. >> the policeman said we'll give you a ride home when we were like 2 blocks away. >> reporter: but he didn't and late that night child protective services forced the parents to sign an order saying they would not let their children walk around without adult supervision. >> i'm not going to risk my kids being matched again like this by cp7. >> reporter: but now their lawyer says he will sue montgomery county within a week or so to force it to soften that order and to allow the parents to raise their children as they see fit. >> we want our children to grow up independently, feel safe and confident walking around the neighborhood and we can't. the meitevs can't accomplish that by hovering over them keeping them in their watchful eye 24/7. >> reporter: a police spokeman says the officer was simply responding to a 911 call about suspected child neglect. >> we are mandated as police officers in maryland to contact child protective services. >> this is not what we want our children to be, afraid of the police. >> reporter: now the lawyer for the parents says that he took the case for free because he has two children the same age as the children of the meitevs and he is always pushing those kids to get outside and play alone. he says that the supreme court has repeatedly held that parents have wide discretion on how they can raise their children as long as there's no substantial risk of harm. reporting live in silver spring bruce leshan, wusa9. >> i got to ask you at any time did the parents call police when their kids did not come back from the park or come back from their walk? >> reporter: as we understand it from the lawyer, the parents at first thought the kids were a little bit late. they were supposed to be home at 6:00. then they went out looking for them and then they realized what had happened and they called their attorneys. they suspected that they had been taken by the police and by child protective services, but no, you're right, they apparently never did call the police. >> thank you. now maryland does have a law that children under 8 cannot be left unsupervised. it only applies when the children are indoors or in a car, not when they're outdoors. the family of a d.c. boy gravely wounded by a stray bullet is filing a lawsuit against an apartment complex and security firm. it is a continuing story with apparent heroes and villains. bruce johnson is live at the apartments in d.c. how is that little guy doing? >> reporter: he's doing a lot better, one of the large e apartment complexes in all of d.c. and at 1 time this was a very dangerous place, but even back then there was the creed of the streets you didn't target. you didn't get involved with the youngsters, with the children. jayden stancil wasn't targeted in this case. he simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time. while most 9-year-old d.c. boils are going to class, run -- boys are going to class, running and tossing some sort of ball, jayden stancil is learning to walk again. >> he can talk again. he's able to see. for a few days he was consider blind. >> reporter: jayden was outside the may fair mansion apartments in northeast playing when a gunfight broke out among some young men. a bullet struck the oldest of four children in the head. how is mom doing? >> i'm trying to be as strong as i possibly can be for jayden. it's rough. it's a very difficult time for me and my family. >> reporter: the family and attorneys announced today they're filing a lawsuit against may fair mansion and others. >> this was advertised as a gated community which is one of the reason why the family moved there and the gates were never repaired and allowed to remain open so the criminals could come onto the property. >> reporter: jayden was shot in october last year and this is may fair mansion today, the very same playground. this apartment complex is still advertised as a gated community with a large private security force. we found a number of gates unlocked surrounding the complex today where there were security fads and cameras clearly visible. d.c. police have recovered two guns and bullets from those weapons at the scene of jayden's shooting last year. you might recall d.c. police officers shannon strange, thomas moore and steven giannini were honored for saving jayden's life rushing him to the hospital in a cruiser. >> this is not for any family. it's horrible. >> reporter: of course, we're all pulling for jayden and his family at this point. three pool were actually shot on that playground late last year, jay deny and two adult -- jayden and two adults, no arrests in either shooting. >> let's hope some new element develops soon. jayden's family was pretty critical of the city's forensic cry lab saying that lab has yet to process evidence from the crime scene including ballistic tests. in a statement the lab says evidence has been uploaded into a national data business, but since this is an ongoing

may have been a factor in that explosion. there is a big story in prince george's county politics and it has a lot of observers asking whether the county executive there is about to commit the ultimate political no-no, but that executive rushern baker tells us today, he is all in for a dramatic increase in local property taxes to fund the schools. our prince george's county bureau chief scott broom went one on one with him today to find out what he's thinking. >> reporter: he's anything he wants to -- thinking he wants to raise taxes and it's not just 2 or 3% which would cause a revolt in some sections, this county executive is talking about a potential 15% increase in property taxes here in prince george's county to help pay for improvements in school. i went one on one with him this afternoon as he prepares tonight to take his sales pitch on the road in front of some very skeptical taxpayers. the county executive in it for the long haul. that's rushern baker today with a partner training for the boston marathon which might be easy compared to pushing through the dramatic tax increase baker has proposed to fund schools here. >> i do believe in miracles. >> reporter: you could argue that prince george's county has produced some miracles. after the previous county executive and his wife went to prison for corruption and made the county a laughing stock. there has been $6 billion produced in economic development and a stunning 40% drop in crime, but missing in the equation is schools and it's breaking baker's all right. >> the reason we haven't seen a rebound in the market in prince george's county is because of one thing. it's our schools. if you compare us with every other jurisdiction, think about it. crime is down. economic development is on its way. the one area that you can't resell your home is because you can't point to a great public school system next-door. >> reporter: baker's solution, the big risk asking homeowners to believe like he does that a 15% tax increase dedicated to pumping at least 133 million more a year into the school system for more early education, pay to keep young teachers from jumping ship and a focus on making families part of the equation will bring the school system from the bottom to the top in just five years. >> by adding another bathroom, your home goes up in value. by adding a great school system right next to your home, guess what? your home goes up in value. when i ask prince georgians to believe in themselves, we've come up winners. we've done it with economic development, healthcare, public safety and crime. all those things are coming and once again i'm asking them to believe in themselves. >> reporter: by the way, training for the boston marathon, that is the pitch from the marathon man. county executive rushern baker here in prince george's county prince george's county, he has performed amazing turnarounds with both crime and economic development. he thinks schools should be next. he rolls this out in front of some skeptical taxpayers tonight for the first time at capitol heights elementary school. that is where my colleague stephanie ramirez tonight picks up the story. >> reporter: the county executive rushern baker says education is one of the top priorities with his new proposed budget. i'm stephanie ramirez at capitol heights elementary school. this is where the county executive plans to kick off his budget tour. inside usually only three students get to use the computer and ipads at the same time. >> we're using partners to use the computers. it's all very -- it's a difficult strategy to work with. >> reporter: 2nd grade t.a.g. teacher says this is an issue she faces trying to complete with other school districts for preparing their kids for the 21st century. one of the reasons why the school staff supports the proposed budgets. >> when you support the system whether or not your child attends prince george's county schools or not, you are impacting the future. >> reporter: they can't buy certain language books and canceled educational class trips and can't bring people in with assemblies this year. >> one in particular we would really like is for international day and they cannot get the chinese acrobats because i don't have any money. >> my children did go right up on the hill there. >> reporter: mary junior lives down the street and said this is very important, but she liz in part of the county that have already voiced tax hike concerns. she says the property values just aren't there. >> i think it's too much. i don't think we should have the tax increase really. my husband has his gi bill and he got it done a reasonable amount, you know, and i'm still paying it. >> reporter: this meeting will be the first of six. the others will be held in other locations to really include all of the county. capitol heights elementary, stephanie ramirez, wusa9 news. >> it's worth repeating. tonight's meeting starts at 7:00 at
