RE:I can see it now. Children calling the cops because they found an illegal gun in daddy's closet.

this is just sickening.
there are few things lower than a snitch.
This kid, ratted out a member his family to big brother, He's earned every bit of the scorn, ridicule and beatings that are no doubt coming his way.
At the age of 17, if he didn't like what was going on he could have damned well moved the hell out.

Oh, and where would he go? Do you know how expensive apartments are these days? Around here it's horrific! Living on your own is admirable and expensive. Maybe the child had one of those Burger King jobs where you get little money and no coverage for insurance, etc. His decision wasn't an easy one. You don't know the circumstances.

I think you missed the part about his concern for his siblings. Sure, he could have moved out, but that would have left his siblings still in the household, still living with the situation.

I find it hard to fathom that a teenager who did what was morally and legally right should be the target of such statements as yours. So you would beat the youth because he turned someone in to the authorities for something that is illegal? Is your fury at the fact that you want pot to be legal? Or is it at the fact that you think the government has too much power? And this would justify beating a responsible teenager???!!! I am mystified by your logic, or lack thereof!! Beat the kid cuz I don't agree with the law or the government! Certainly seems the right thing to do, to me! /Sarcasm!
