[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if Sam Ellis needed an alarm to help him stay out of trouble.[/quote]

I'd be really pissed if that was his car/family car that he was driving in the accident.   One alcohol violation, plus a fighting arrest, is enough to keep most parents from letting their kids have the keys.  18 or not.  [/quote]

Why would an adult tell their parents about an arrest.[/quote]

They don't need to be told.   Public to anyone who wants to search the court records.    And when people have this much contact with the law, there is almost always ongoing issues with behavior in general.    This stuff isn't a shock to anyone, I'm sure.[/quote]

How often do you run your kids name in md court search, do you search every state they have visited?  :roll:

You are ridiculous. The kid had an alcohol violation in the Fall of his senior year. That is not uncommon in MoCo. It was over 6 months later, you think he is still grounded.

You can hope and hope that his parents are to blame, then you can justify in your mind that since you are a superior parent nothing like this will ever happen to your family. But that is not how it works, no matter how much you wish it to be true.[/quote]

It was March 15 for the first one and June 3 for the second one.  Not last fall.   That is WAY too much contact with police in a very short amount of time.  And it should be a huge red flag to anyone with any common sense.   But my underlying point is that when there is that much contact with police for a kid who is barely out of high school (and who knows if he's got a juvenile record or not), there are likely many more signs there that his behavior isn't on the up and up.  And that's what parents need to be looking for.   All of us.  [/quote]
Exactly. If we see our kid going down a bad path, you can encourage them to do better OR you cut the purse strings.[/quote]

So your 18 yo adult child get in trouble for the 1st time less than 6 months before he moves out and you disown him?

Keep telling yourself you are a better parent, but you are not.[/quote]
