damn...honestly, that girl shouldn't have been growing in her folks place, that isn't right. On the same token, I agree that it should have been handled "in the family" and not involved the police but its her parents house and they did what they did so really, how can any of us second guess them?
The above being said, I wouldnt have called the cops, thats just a chicken shit move. My kids dont fear the cops nearly as much as they fear me and honestly, that is how it should be.
I wonder what her parents will think when she comes out of jail 10 times worse than when she went in. Jail, prison, etc, is nothing more than a finishing school for criminals.
