Three days after walking free from jail, a repeat offender was caught on camera trying to snatch a toddler from her family at a Virginia mall, prompting Gov. Glenn Youngkin to condemn the county's soft-on-crime policies.
"There is a shocking and unforgivable pattern in Fairfax County of releasing criminals back onto Virginia’s streets instead of keeping them behind bars," Youngkin wrote on X. "The Commonwealth’s Attorney cares more about protecting criminals than about keeping children safe."
"Fairfax County parents should be horrified," Youngkin said.
