I don’t disagree with you at all re: the kid’s actions. Or perceived actions. I wonder if the dad could have intimidated the boy with words along with using his gun and dialing the police. No doubt in my mind that my dad could have. There maybe more history here than we know.
I can well see how everyone in the situation was jumpy.
But...boys’ have been sneaking into girl’s room since the beginning of time. It’s not a new thing.
“But...boys’ have been sneaking into girl’s room since the beginning of time. It’s not a new thing.”
Actually I used to sneak them into my room. Because I knew their dad would not do anything if we got caught.
My perspective on the issue would have been far different (never would have tried) if I knew her Dad was going to blow me away if caught..
