Agreed!! An ex-neighbor of mine (pretty nice guy, actually) would always just call the cops or some other authority when something happened with his kid. I always asked why he didn't just deal with it himself and stop hiding behind the cops or whomever.
Hell, a kid my son knows took off on his bike one day while at the park. He didn't come back. I didn't call the cops until after going to speak w/ the parents! Funny part is, the kid's mom told me to call the cops because she was afraid it was the only real way to make the point to her son. I did so, but felt really strange calling the cops on a 12 y/o kid.
I was a show the other night called Wildest Police Chases or something like that where one of them was about 2 PROFESSIONAL 12 y/o car theives. When they finally stopped the kids after the chase they found every single tool a professional car thief would use. What is our world comming too?
My Zetec died one too many times so I got a new car.
