crisis looms. i want to find a reasonable and a responsible way that we can take control of this runaway spending. all of these officers failed their oath. we need a national conversation about policing. the question is where do we go from here? parents send their kids back to school tomorrow for the first time since that shooting in early january. am i 100% comfortable sending him back? no. i m pamela brown in washington, and you are live in the cnn newsroom. the fate of the u.s. economy may hinge on a meeting this wednesday between president biden and newly elected gop house speaker kevin mccarthy. it has been a little more than a week since the treasury department announced the u.s. government has reached its borrowing limit. if the the debt ceiling isn t raised, the u.s. could start defaulting on its loans. i know the president said he didn t want to have any discussions, but i think it s very important that our whole government s designed to find compro
The other is what s called competency. in order for anyone to be charged with a crime they have to be competent under the law. that means they understand the charges against them, that they can participate in their own defense. for a 6-year-old that s a really that s a hurdle. it s unlikely that this child would be prosecuted. even the juvenile delinquency system, while virginia does not have a threshold age to be prosecuted, at any detention center the age is 11 and older. so there really isn t a lot that could be done from a criminal perspective when you have a 6-year-old child. however, what i foresee happening is what s called a child in need of services petition. this would go to a judge and there would be court-ordered medical treatment, counseling. so there would be some active participation by the court in helping this child who is obviously very, very troubled. yeah. it s very sad.
