The best you can do is hope that some of your values stick and that they become at least semi-productive adults. Not a happy situation. I wish Chief Tucker and his family the best. At the very least, he got the attention of Family Services and that might just open a few doors to help him guide his son through teen-agedom.

Good that people are taking a patient response to this.

BTW -- what does Janet Tutt or The Villages have to do with letting him get back to work? Doesn't he work for the County? (Per The Villages News: "Boylston also indicated that he would be contacting District Manager Janet Tutt to ensure that his client is fully reinstated in his job.")

I think the fire department is under the public safety department, which is The Villages, not the county, and is overseen by Janet Tutt.

I agree. Of what I have seen, he is a good public servant (hate that word). Seems like he has done a great job for TV.
