I like it. It's about time parents be held responsible for the troublemakers they creat. If this happened more often, parents might start paying attention to junior before junior spirals out of control.

I wonder if this kid is on Ritalin....?

The only thing I'm worried about is if the parent's bail little Johnny out instead of making him work it off.

I'd rather see the kid have to pay for it himself....we can start by having him shovel horse manure from the local stables every weekend and after hours till he's 18.

Actually the kid was suffering from severe depression and was on Paxil.

I would suspect that he was also psychotic. After he was caught burning down the highschool he was placed in a special facility for safe keeping.

His lawyer was going to look into the kind of defense you can build for having used Paxil. That seems to have been a mistake. Lots of folks are always leaping to the conclusion that "the drug did it" when, in fact, it's the underlying organic brain damage or other cause of psychotic behavior "that did it".

Prozac and Paxil really can't cure those problems.

This is another case of misdiagnosis where insufficient testing probably played a part. The kid's psychiatrist probably ought to be contacting his malpractice insurance company about now.

No doubt State Farm will! (ROTFLMAO) They have vast teams of specialists in looking for somebody else's deep pockets.

You obviously don't know much about kids, or raising them...
