That is a question that I would ask myself. How many times has this kid done it before ? How many other people have covered for him in the past ?

Kids today don't seem to face many consequences. There are many laws to protect them, which I understand. But many parents also do not think that their kids "deserve" to be punished. What do you really know about this kid ? He could be the neighborhood troublemaker, or even known by the local cops, they just haven't been able to catch him.

I know I may sound vindictive. But I have seen some kids bat their eyes, give an innocent smile and get away with things. Only to find out later that they are bad kids who get away with everything cause mom and dad cover for them.

Ultimately, you and Joan need to do what is right for you two.
