NORTH KITSAP
A 14-year-old boy upset that his mother threatened to send him to military school for skipping class turned her in Thursday for growing marijuana.
A Kitsap County deputy went to the residence on the 6400 block of NE Silver Springs Lane after the boy called 911 emergency dispatchers and said his mother was growing marijuana, reports said.
At the house, the boy told the deputy he was angry that his mother was trying to discipline him for skipping class and talking back, "and he decided to tell on his mother," the report said.
At first, the 34-year-old woman said she only smoked marijuana. She declined to let the deputy search her house further without a warrant, then changed her mind.
"What the heck, you don't need a warrant. I'll show you," the deputy quoted the woman as saying.
In her closet, the deputy found 10 small marijuana plants. The woman said she was growing them for personal use. She also told the deputy "it is tough to get her son to respect authority when he knows she breaks the law growing pot," the report said.
The son said he was concerned that he got his mother in trouble. But, as the deputy noted, "all he wanted was for her to get the message and do the right thing," the report said.
The woman was cooperative, the deputy wrote, and was not arrested.
A report was forward to Kitsap County prosecutors, WestNET and Child Protective Services.
Moral of the story:
If you’re going to be a Moral Authority you should have some.
“I learned it by watching you!”
I saw mama, ‘fore she was mama...
"What the heck, you don't need a warrant. I'll show you," the deputy quoted the woman as saying.Wow. Not just stupid... but really stupid.
Of course when the asset forfeiture laws take the kid’s house, leaving him homeless, that’ll teach him a lesson too.
Where’s dad?
Food for thought.
I wonder how many folks on here who will be (rightly) decrying this woman for setting a bad example for her kid, and expecting him to obey her rules, when she doesn’t obey the rules her, are the same folks who wouldn’t understand that their speeding with their kid in the car might just lead to their kid disrespecting their rules, too?
Some parents aren’t just stupid, they are really, really stupid. If you expect your kids to respect you and excercise some dicipline in their lives, you have to have the moral authority and set a superior example. If they know the parents are operating on their level they will never ever amount to a hill of beans. You’re not their buddy or their best friend but their parent.
Is this in Washington State?
No arrest???
Dad probably left when he realized both his wife and son were a couple of dumb asses.
LOVE your tagline
Kids do what you do not what you say do.
Actual physical arrests are not required in all cases. Charges can come later.
Ah, a real man of character.
Where is North Kitsap and why would anyone name a town after a condiment?
Wow, take him down to the adoption center and leave him there.
Society has so feminized men that any man who is a Christian leader, in the biblical sense, in his home
will be demonized and pilloried.
To heck with it - I’ll lead anyway.
