[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a very big difference between run of the mill cheating (glancing at a friend's answers, plagiarizing, etc.) and scaling a wall and breaking into a teacher's office to steal a test.  Seriously.

Duh.  It was a third story window people.  Kid grabbed a ladder.  In thedead of night.  Was dressed in black.  Very well planned.  Until he got caught.  On video.  Surprised it has not gone viral.  My daughter's boyfriend showed it to me.  It is a hilarious video.  Until the laughter dies and all that you are left with is a seriously disturbed kid.[/quote]

He was caught because some of the boarders saw him and thought he was a burglar.  This isn't a sign of a "seriously" disturbed kid.  Geez. What an overstatement. It's the sign of a kid who doesn't understand real world consequences and isn't thinking things through.  Bad choices.  Not unusual in a teenage brain.  [/quote]

I'm sorry, let me get this straight.

You believe that a 15 year old out in the middle of the night, dressed in black and using a ladder to scale a building to unlawfully enter a locked building that is off-limits to him, simply made "bad choices?"

Wow. Please tell me where your poor kid(s) go to school. I want to be far, far away from your line of thinking.[/quote]

Not to dismiss the conduct as unproblematic, but this has all the signs of teen caper more than budding criminal.  I've been at schools and colleges where people have been caught for such stupidity as finding the key to one of those "Gator" carts and driving it around campus (at night of course) and loading up a car with alcohol for consumption in the dorms.  If you think such stupid things aren't being plotted all the time at pretty much all local high schools you're being unrealistic.[/quote]
