  13. Parent Rant.......dui In My Back Yard

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    Wife and I were alseep last night at 2:30 am when the golden retriever sound the alarm. I jump up and find a nice new shiney Z71 PU in my back yard minus about 50 ft of my privacy fence :753_hammer_hitting_head:

    The LEO's are here in 2 seconds. turns out a 16 year kid drunks as a skunk barely could walk winds up in our back yard. The mother shows up shocked that her son could do such a thing. She later concedes that her son has been in some sort of trouble once before.

    the LEO's give him a sobreity test and promptly fails. Then the step dad shows up and he can't beleive the boy has done such a thing. He then protests his arrests the LEO's inform him that for DUI's its SOP to arrest. The Dad comments" He was drinking??" LEO replies thats what we do is put drunk drivers in jail :605_thumbs_up:

    Times have changed since I was growing up in the big 80's. My old man would've had me preferring jail as opposed to his justice. I asked my Dad today what he would've done and he said do you really have to ask..LOL

    I would have been down here with my Dad rebuilding the fence once i was out of the klink. That would've been only the start for me.

    The mother was appologetic and said she would make restitution this AM. Of course no call this am or afternoon they also live a street over from me. So I roust up my foreman that works for me and we knock it out after documenting everything. They will get a bill from me tomorrow for the repairs.

    Why would a parent let a 16 child behind the wheel of a 35k vehicle at 2am in the morning which is past the county enforced curfew??

    what ever happened to kids driving an older model vehicle so they can learn to respect what they have. If I had kids they would learn what it takes to earn a dollar be it work or grades. That how I was raised

    I do know alot a of good kids in the hood as well but their parents are centered and demand excellence from their kids. There seems to be too much of this "not my angel" crowd around these days.

    Am i off base here? what do the parents on here think. Someone re instill my faith in todays youth :471_confused_face:

    If that was me I would have been begging the cops to take me to jail.cuz my dad would have :753_hammer_hitting_head: for ever
