THE FAMILY THAT PREYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER

Bob Walsh says: What do you do when you want to go out and thump and slice some gang rivals but you are not old enough to have a license? It’s pretty simple, you get mommy to drive you. The family that preys together stays together.

A San Jose mother accused of driving the getaway vehicle after the stabbing of a 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, according to police.

Margaret Juanita Suazo, 42, was arrested by San Jose police in connection with the midday stabbing Thursday of a teenager in a residential neighborhood near Mabury Road and North Capitol Avenue, according to San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer.

Dwyer described the stabbing as a gang-related attack.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office is reviewing the case.

Police arrested the woman's son and are looking for a second juvenile suspect who may have been involved, Dwyer said.

About noon Thursday, Suazo was driving the two teens, one of whom was her son, when they encountered the 13-year-old victim, Dwyer said.

Some gang-related words were exchanged, and at some point Suazo's son, 15, allegedly jumped out of the car and chased the 13-year-old boy.

The juvenile stabbed the boy, got back into the car and the group fled, Dwyer said.

"When they are done, Mom makes the getaway," Dwyer said.

After calls to 911, officers rushed to the 2700 block of Glen Firth Drive and found the 13-year-old boy leaning against a car with stab wounds. He was rushed to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds, Dwyer said.

The 15-year-old was taken into custody as a juvenile.
