Children Aren’t Beyond the Law
In response to the letter from Y. Hilton of Lancaster, who said the parents in North Hollywood were “crazy” for turning in their children for school vandalism, who is “most of us” that would keep our children out of the hands of police, courts and jail?
“Probably even for murder” yet.
That would condone children committing crimes by publicly announcing parents would “stick up for them.” The dregs of society raise their children to believe they are beyond the law.
