I read the father and his GF went out to dinner so they were NOT at home when the incident happened. He had the GF make a few calls to see if juvie hall or LE had picked up his son then WENT TO BED.
Thanks for that bit. Clears a few things up but leads to some more wonderings.
The 1st night at Dad’s for disciplinary reasons and Dad leaves him alone with his little brother, ostensibly to watch the game.
Dad let’s him head to the 7/11 to get skittles while knowing he (dad) won’t be home when travon gets back.
I guess i’ll chalk this up as “bad parenting”.
