   MOLINE, Illinois -- Many WQAD viewers have wondered "Where are   
   the parents?" of teenagers suspected of car thefts in the Quad   
   Cities.   
      
   On Tuesday, May 1st, we reported that two brothers, ages 13 and   
   14, had no parent or guardian to be released to after Moline   
   police questioned them about a stolen car they were standing   
   near when they should have been in school.   
      
   There was not enough evidence to charge them with any crime.   
   Another 13-year-old boy who was with the brothers was released   
   to his mother.   
      
   When Moline police sought the brothers' parent or guardian, they   
   found that their mother is in prison, their father is not   
   around, and their 65-year-old aunt who serves as a guardian is   
   "not willing to come get them."   
      
   "She didn't want to deal with them. She says she can't control   
   them and wasn't gonna pick them up. We called several social   
   service agencies but nobody was able to come out at the time,"   
   said Sgt. Eli Soliz.   
      
   Police say the guardian gave them permission to drop the boys   
   off at their 21-year-old godfather's house. But the boys never   
   went in. Instead, they headed back toward Davenport on foot,   
   where WQAD caught up with them.   
      
   When asked if they had ever been in juvenile detention before,   
   they said yes,  but "everybody does the same thing when they get   
   out, though."   
      
   Sgt. Soliz says "it's happening all the time, but it wouldn't   
   happen as often if there were consequences."
