A 16-year-old boy was charged as a juvenile with receiving or possessing a stolen vehicle, police said.

Watson and the 16-year-old boy got into the stolen vehicle with Terry, police said.

The SUV was stolen around 5 p.m. Friday in the 5900 block of West Montrose Avenue, near Marmora Avenue, in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, police said. A 39-year-old mother fought back at the gas station where a man got into her car with her children and stole it, police said.

The car slowed down in a nearby neighborhood. The driver dropped off the 2-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl he took off with, and then sped away.

CBS 2 was told the mother was doing all right as of late Friday, as were her children.
