Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling on the issue on Wednesday.

"It's not parent shaming to say you should know where your children are at 10, 11, 12 o'clock at night, when you have a 12-year-old or 13-year-old," Snelling said.

Snelling did make it clear during his Wednesday City Club appearance it's time to stop make excuses for criminals.

"I think we've become so focused on why an offender offends, we've forgotten to ask the question about what we can do for those people that they've offended against," Snelling said.

Snelling said accountability must be part of the city's response, adding that some young offenders need to be locked up.

ABC7 Chicago will livestream the mayor's summer safety news conference at 2:30 p.m.
