6 Year Old Drives To School Courtesy Of "GTA Skills"

Why the parents are being charged when this child is clearly the guilty party? What does his brother have to do with this anyway? I can imagine putting him in to custody to protect his family and others from this dangerous behavior (hence "protective custody") but why put his brother in there too? Was the brother suspected of conspiracy to the theft?

Blue Sonnet covers it well

Turns out there was a valid reason for the arrest/fostering - there was a previous court order stating that the mother was not, under any circumstances, to be left alone with the children.

The child can't be charged because of his age, I believe.
