[quote=Anonymous]Another recent situation: DS20 had a summer job at a large community park. He arrived early one morning to witness a teen boy doing donuts and off-roading all over the mowed sports fields. His boss arrived on the scene and took video, captured the driver’s plate and they called police. Of course, the boy left before police came. Both returned to the office and wouldn’t you know, the dad of the driver called the park to “pay whatever the damages were” and asked that police not be called. Spoiled brat kid was college bound and certainly didn’t need this on his record per dad.

I’d like to believe that parents of my generation (Gen X) wouldn’t have gone to this length. I’d have been in double trouble: equal discipline meted out from parents and law enforcement. If my dad got a call about misbehavior from a teacher when my siblings and I were students, all of us knew that there’d be severe consequences and of course, it wouldn’t happen again, guaranteed. The teacher or adult was in charge and respected. Another change. [/quote]
