12‑Year‑Old Charged After Violent Screwdriver Attack in Seattle King County prosecutors filed second‑degree robbery and obstruction charges against a 12‑year‑old boy, scheduling his arraignment at the Clark Children & Family Justice Center [2]. Attack Linked to Amazon Fresh Store Near 23rd Avenue The assault occurred around 6:50 p.m. on Jan. 17, where the suspect, wearing a bright pink ski mask, punched and stabbed a 43‑year‑old woman with a screwdriver before stealing her handbag [2]. Police Recovered Weapon and Arrested Suspect Without Incident search warrant at the boy’s family home yielded the screwdriver, and officers arrested the youth after he fled the initial scene [2]. Case Must Remain in Juvenile Court Under State Law Washington law mandates that robbery cases involving a 12‑year‑old stay in juvenile court, preventing adult prosecution or transfer [2]. No Bail Set; Juvenile Proceedings Emphasize Rehabilitation The juvenile system does not consider bail, focusing instead on corrective measures appropriate for the offender’s age [2].
