Some Parents Just Don’t Understand

File this one under some people just don’t get it.  An Indianapolis woman is upset that flyers have gone up in her neighborhood labelling her 17-year old son “dangerous.”

Now at first glance you might think the woman had a point until you realize her sone has been arrested 22 times over the last three years for crimes ranging from burglary to theft to escape.

My colleague Jack Rinehart at RTV 6 reported more than 100 flyers accusing the kid of being a thief and a drug addict went up in the neighborhood, but the mom tore them down.

She’s quoted as saying,  “He is a minor. Kids do have problems, but it’s not right for people to hang posters like that.”

Okay, let’s try to figure this one out.  We have a kid that literally gets arrested about every other month for the past three years.   One of the neighbors gets mad and decide they’re not going to take it anymore and put posters up warning everyone, please note the poster is factually accurate.  And the mom of the juvenile delinquent makes excuses for his behavior.

What’s wrong with this picture?  Have at it,  folks.
