You are mistaken. The son was 17. There is a big thread on this from last night with posts of the articles.
I was most intrigued that he was said to be an Eagle scout and then said that was a clerical error. That sent my flags up {as the wife of an Eagle, Order of Arrow and member of Brotherhood of Scouts and grandmother of a boy working to be an Eagle}
I guess Eagle Scout is like a Theology Masters... if you don’t have one... make one up... if caught lying... it was a clerical mistake. Father like son it seems!
