First, we have the story of a SEVENTEEN year old trying to fraud the insurance company on his $50K car so he can UPGRADE to a Bentley?? Excuse me - WHERE are your parents??!!
And then there's this even more disturbing story about a kid facing felony child pornography charges for trying to dis his girlfriend, and these kids are only 15 and 16 years of age!!
I was no angel as a kid (but I was pretty squeaky clean by other standards), and I know that the internet, cell phones, etc., has totally changed the playing field for parents and families everywhere, but I RESPECTED my parents. I looked up to them and wanted them to be proud of me. I still do. I hope that hasn't changed, but apparently, in a few extreme cases, it has.
Kinda hard for a 17 year old to respect parents who think it is acceptable for them to be driving a BMW in the first place.
