Reply #23: Hmm...Apparently that paper publishes names.

At 17, kids are supposed to know better than to put graffiti on stuff. It's not like it's a heinous crime or anything, but I imagine that whoever owned the property that was the beneficiary of the kids' artwork is not amused.

I'll tell you what my father would have done. He'd have called me a dumbass and said it was fine that I was embarrassed by the publication of my name. Then, he'd have pulled my driver's license for a month or so. After that he'd have marched me down to the location where the graffiti was located and arranged with the owner for me to scrub it off and repaint property, if needed.

That's why I never did shit like that. I knew it was wrong.



Note to add: I posted before you posted what your kid did after being arrested. I hope she's OK. My description of my father's response still stands, though. I have removed other parts of my post.
