{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A man accused of carjacking a vehicle with two children inside and then leading good Samaritans on a short chase has pleaded not guilty in Southern California to charges including kidnapping and child cruelty.
The Sun newspaper says (http://bit.ly/29ykuxi ) 21-year-old Steven Young was arraigned in a San Bernardino courtroom Wednesday.
The kids' mother jumped onto the hood when she saw the car being driven away from a convenience store where she had stopped and left the engine running Sunday night.

Young was arrested after crashing nearby. The children were unhurt.
Described by police as a transient, Young is due back in court July 21.
