PENN HILLS, Pa. —

Police said a 14-year-old stole a car on Sunday then led officers on a chase that ended in a crash on a Parkway East ramp.
.

Channel 11's Dave Bondy spoke to the mother of the 14-year-old accused of stealing the car. She said what her son did was wrong, but the owner of the car made it too easy for her car to be stolen.

"My son was wrong for taking that vehicle but someone jumped out of their car and a 14-year-old seen the opportunity to take the car. He didn't break the car to steal it. They left the keys in the car. I think as an adult we have some type of ownership to being responsible for our vehicles," the boy's mother said.

Troopers said the chase was called off before the teen flipped the jeep on the Parkway East. The boy's mother said she doesn't think police should have followed her son.

"He had to no right to chase my son. It could have been a situation where maybe it was just a joyride down the street. Maybe he wanted to go further than he felt like walking," she said.

“... raised to take no personal responsibility and blame others first ...”

Exactly !!!!!!!

Just what the Obama regime wants America to be.

I wonder who she voted for in the last election. /s

Droolingly-stupid b**ch needs to be sterilized. Pronto.

“Mom” is what’s wrong with that kid. Maybe Mom needs to do her son’s time in juvenile hall for him, since her son is apparently not responsible for anything.

(Psst... where’s dad?)

[laweeks]

Why wonder why these kids are disproportionately suspended from school. This mother is the answer.

Um . . . where was Dad while this went on . . . That was silly of me . . . I meant "Baby Daddy." Sorry.

Argh!

from the video:

..”cops should’na chase him cuz maybe he took it cuz he wanted to go farthur then he could walk”

Thanks Ma

So, because the car owner left the keys in the car (admittedly a dumb thing to do), the kid had no choice but to steal the car.

If you become a victim of a sexual assault, maybe the cops shouldn't intervene, after all,

Good point, just imagine the argument: "with that short skirt, skimpy halter top and perfume, she just made it too easy to jump her bones...

Wonder when uncle obie will weigh in with the “he didn’t take that car, somebody else did that.”? Poor innocent child falsely accused. Lucky he wasn’t wearing a hoodie with some skittles and an arizona ice tea huh?

There was a day, ages ago it seems now, where parents rigorously taught their children to respect other people’s property. Theft and vandalism wasn’t treated so lightly.

Shoot, in my day I would have been begging the cops to take me in to save me from the justice my parents would have administered to me. I would have been whacked on twice... once for taking the car, and once for daring to embarrass them.

“My little Johnny would never do ANYTHING wrong!”

That statement has been the bane of the teaching profession for the past five decades.

Combine that “and if you say he did you’re a racist” and you see where the social disintegration is coming from.

“I’m rather surprised she didn’t say it was Bush’s fault.”

Suing Ford Motor would be reasonable. After all Henry Ford starting mass producing automobiles; so his company could be held responsible here.

Thank God we don’t think like Mommy.

“Not my chile!!”

When HER car is stolen and crashed, I wonder if she will have a different prespective on things.

So, because the car owner left the keys in the car (admittedly a dumb thing to do), the kid had no choice but to steal the car.

If you park your vehicle where a 14 year old black kid is milling about, and then take the keys with you - that's racist. You are making an assumption that the kid will steal your vehicle.

However,

If you park your vehicle where a 14 year old black kid is milling about, and leave the keys in it - that's irresponsible. You are equally culpable if that kid does steal your vehicle.

The only acceptable option (to assure everyone that you are both responsible and not a racist) is to park somewhere where there are no 14 year old black kids milling about and take the keys with you. /s

Did they find his Skittles?
