Well yeah, he was suspended from school 3 times that year. He was caught with stolen property and burglary tools. As a parent it's OK to say, go to the store by yourself, even though it's dark and raining, and he has a tendency to find trouble? At 7:30 in February it is dark, That' a fact. His mother shipped his butt from Miami up to Sanford. If you don't see anything wrong with that scenario, then you are not any better. You have a juvenile delinquent staying at your place and you let him have free roam of the neighborhood after dark. Not a good practice, in fact he's dead for that very reason.

If I lived in a apartment complex with as much criminal activity as this place, the last thing I would want is to have him roaming the neighborhood unsupervised at night. Maybe you have a better insight, but then again, Trayvon is dead for this very type of behavior. I lived for a year in a similar apartment complex in Atlanta. Couldn't go to the laundry room at night, cars were broken into, and I called the police on several occasions about my neighbors. I would never have had a teenager stay for an extended period of time. Then again, I've never had a son get suspended from school on multiple occasions or caught stealing property.
