In my days the worst we would do is sneak a bottle of booze into school. My how the times are a changing.

It's like we live on a different planet.

Ohhh, not good, ouch! Wonder if mom & dad will be responsible for him since he’s under 18.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I doubt if there is a dad in the household. 85% of the male prison population come from homes where a father was not present, so this kid is well on his way to upping that percentage.

Vaping, not vapping.

I disagree. It’s clearly a lack of thoughts and prayers.

Obviously we need to look at every case individually but....the odds are definitely with your assessment.
