| It is easy for parents to believe their kids especially in these kinds of cases. But we were all kids onece and I am sure we have all played a few games with the truth when dealing with parents. Part of growing up I guess. No comment on the above situation as it is probably as first told by the son, but before we all go ranting about crooked cops out to do in a youngster for no apparent reason, maybe we should remember out youth as well. i got in a street fight with a big bloke who came out of nowhere and started pounding on my parked car and friends. He broke both my side windows and was going after my young buddy before I wrestled with him in the middle of a busy intersection....17 years old...His father came over and listened to my recounting of the affair and he was in tears at the end....he had never seen that side of his son.
Remember when you all got a new bike or car at that age. The temptation to show off was pretty hard to shrug off.
Again, I do not doubt the story, but a word with the cops may be in order as well..  |
