Yep. "My baby didn' do nuffin'..."
We've heard that one before.
Granted, we've had out of control Mall Cops too.
Most of us, if we had to live by the rules that students do today, would have easily gotten hit with ten-day suspensions or even expellations for just normal kid behaviour.
I don’t consider that to be important. I would need to see a pattern of criminal behaviour where he lived with his mom before I would consider it to be a factor. It’s been a good week now, and since nobody has brought anything forward, I think the kid was just a kid doing kid things, even when he got his suspension where he was at.
