77. Kids are generally more tech savvy than their parents are.

Dec 23

The parents might put a lock on the kid's phone but I'd bet you money the kid would get through it. There's no such thing as foolproof security and there's a how-to for damn near everything on the web if you look hard enough.

The better question is, why didn't these parents teach their sons to be decent, respectful human beings? Why didn't they teach their sons to treat women and girls (and everyone else) with respect and decency? Why didn't they teach their sons not to behave like animals?

I got up to some pretty wild shit in my teenage years but nothing even close to this. We pulled pranks and shit like that. If I'd ever done anything like this my parents would have hung me out to dry and left me to face the music on my own. No getting a lawyer for me, no standing with me in court, none of that.

I'd be willing to bet the kid's parents in this case are lawyering up and doing everything they can to protect their precious punkin from facing any consequences.
