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.

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 hear that, I never feared the police, I feared my Father. He had a knack for getting things down to the basics; "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it."

Yet, she has no responsibility for teaching lazy son not to steal.

According to her logic, if I fall down crossing the street, it’s OK for people to run me over???

This mother never should have had kids, and the boy is guaranteed eventually to die from the stupid "not my boy's fault" lessons that this woman is teaching her poor son.

If it were only possible to slap the stupid out of someone, this woman would be a prime candidate.

Then again, maybe a government grant to experiment with this new treatment might be available - where's the guy with the question mark suit when you need him?

“”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.”

Right, they should have been out delivering vote for obama leaflets instead. Wanna bet this kid is on medicaid? Best outcome here would have been if the troopers put on in his head. Good for him, good for the taxpayers, and good as an example. After all, in the old west, steal someone’s transportation and you got humg for it. Worked then, works now.

Meanwhile, the one who left the keys in the vehicle is no world class intalect herself. Leaving keys is a vehicle is simply DUMB. Now she gets to work out the details with her insurance company and will get screwed by them as to the value of the SUV.

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
Yes. And because of the proximity of bakeries who still know how to make old-school Jewish bagels and REAL NY-style pizza joints to my house I have no choice but to be ovewrwewight and deal with type 2 diabetes.

Is this family related to that Na Cola woman who stabbed her husband to death recently? “Can you please check again?” were Na Cola’s words in jail.

Two things:

1. The kid was not four or eight. He was 14. That is considered “adult” for these sort of decisions.

2. Anybody see the beginning to the movie “Courageous”? ;-)

No ma’am

We think as an adult you have some type of ownership to being responsible for your spawn.

Notice how carefully she tried to hide her race, but she pulled her hand out of her pocket and quickly put it back in.

Apparently her race mattered to her or the news organization. Normally they just blur the face.

OK, b1tch have it your way. If you become a victim of a sexual assault, maybe the cops shouldn’t intervene, after all, that poor individual needs help and is only venting his frustrations.


Maybe she shouldn’t dress that way. ;-)

Today of course, the cops would call DFS, you would go to foster care and your folks would disappear into the Gulag/s
