Interesting theory. It seems consistent, too. Trayvon Martin didn’t get this out of control overnight. He became out of control due to lack of strong parenting, or rather lazy parenting.
If your theory is true, note that Trayvon’s father goes out with his girlfriend, leaving Trayvon at home alone. Trayvon’s gotten into some serious trouble recently, but still his father trusts him to abide by the rules. The last thing Trayvon was was trustworthy. But for the father to treat his son with the lack of trust Trayvon has earned, it means that his date with his girlfriend is off. Dad doesn’t like that option, so instead of manning-up to his parenting responsibilities, he does what’s fun rather than what’s prudent. And, now he has a dead son.
I’d say your theory is frightfully possible.

That’s the way I see it. I’m loathe to understand how this father would not be home with this kid after being suspended from school for 10 days and has a history of trouble at school. The family is dysfunctional and makes me suspect the dad is into drugs, too.
