ranjan... ya think? Its just another opportunity for parents to throw their hands up in the air and claim stupidity!

Another thought though, is that this should hold PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ASININE STUNTS THEIR KIDS PULL! Maybe they will actually HAVE TO be responsible for the destruction they are perpetrating. What a concept.

If this is the case.They better NOT be allowed to get they're drivers Licence until they are 25 yrs old.Most of them aren't even smart enough to pull they're pants up so how are they going to figure out how to operate a motor vehicle. What a BOGUS Story. Just another excuse for them to use for "why my kid Isn't At Fault".
