"..How nanny state of you..." ... "...Why play this progressive socialist blame-the-parent-it's not-his-fault game..." ... "...Please sober up before Freeping..."


Apparently I was wrong to expect something more like a coherent argument and less like ignorant name calling from fellow Freepers on this thread...


If your 14 year old steals money from your wallet, are you going to throw him in a pond with alligators to "teach him a lesson"???

In this day and age it is idiotic to send a young kid to jail for an offense as trivial as borrowing the car without asking. The parents can now enjoy the silent years of the fruit of their regretful stupidity.

That's an awefully broad brush you're painting with there...

But you forget...it would be the alligator's fault, not the parents.
