My comment was taken out of context, I mean being a stupid teen cannot be used as a defence, if this lad did something while driving I am sure the cop would not say let's let his Dad take care of it? Also by not turning him over to the authorities if he continues to engage in illegal activities no one will know he has a history of it, so it would be treated as a FIRST offence, regardless if he was consequenced by the law for it, by not reporting him the next time would be treated as a first time. This would mean a lighter consequence because there is no history of negative/illegal behaviour, this only added to your complaint of the week kneeded system and assisted them in their lack of teeth in dealing with problems. Even if he got a slap at least it would have been something, rather a blind eye was turned to his criminal behaviour, how can you complain about a poor system when this is allowed to happen? Not part of the solution..... part of the problem. Do we let people do as they wish because the system has let us down?
