was the 12 year old a fucking bull?

[u/Turkatron2020 → u/1-Canadian-Boy]

The kid apparently went off his meds

"I guess everybody's saying they want to know who it is. So now you know it's me. It's my son. It's my house," she said to the camera.

"No, he's not 12. It wasn't over a cell phone. He's 15, he's 6ft tall and he's 270lbs, so no, I can't spank him."

Then she needs to call the cops and have him arrested. I don't care if he's off his meds...this is tens of thousands of dollars in damage. She has a small baby to take care of also.

[u/mmohaje → u/Feisty_Bee9175]

Tens of thousands of dollars likely makes this a felony in a lot of States and 15 is some States can be tried as an adult.

Once she calls the police, it's up to the prosecutor if they want to press charges...it's effectively then out of the mother's hands.

If he has mental health problems, the last thing he needs is to be in jail and labeled a felon for the rest of his life.

This is obviously not a tenable situation and this child, yes a 15 year old who can do this level of damage is still a child, needs some mental health care. Given there seems to also be a baby in the house that may need to be an in-patient situation--but cops/jail/felony conviction is not what this child needs.

I don't see the problem. This kid is clearly violent. Get him in prison before he kills someone. Which he will do

[u/Niguelito → u/Poopin-in-the-sink]

If he needs medication the prison is NOT the best course of action for him.

[u/adenasyn → u/Niguelito]

Until he actually kills the baby in the house?

[u/EatBooty420 → u/Niguelito]

ok u keep a kid like that in your house and deal with not even being able to take a shit cause he broke the toilet.

any sane person would send him to jail

[u/Poopin-in-the-sink → u/Niguelito]

Prison. Indefinite confinement in a mental hospital

Same same. Shouldn't be allowed in public

Bravest reddit keyboard warrior out here advocating for a child to be locked up forever because somebody else's property was destroyed.

[u/Errenfaxy → u/Omnipotent48]

This sub is not the place for honest debate. It's a place for emotional overreacting to things people have never seen or experienced before.

I never knew people were so perfect until I started seeing comments on videos like this. They always call for the harshest punishments. I wonder what they will call for when they are on the other end of things. My money is on the mercy that they refuse to show others. 

[u/Ok-Situation-5522 → u/Errenfaxy]

It's cute to see redditors think that the cops will lift a finger lol. (At least in my country) Honestly i have a brother kinda like that, and nah, he's a piece of shit so i have a hard time sympathising others with a similar condition, mostly the ones absolutelt denying violent acts that can occur.

[u/adenasyn → u/Omnipotent48]

I believe most people are actually upset over the fact that a baby lives in this house and obviously the person who did the damage to all of the possessions could have easily killed the baby.

[u/PlzDontBanMe2000 → u/Omnipotent48]

Would you want this monster living in your house? I’d be doing everything I can to get his family evicted if he moved in 3 streets over. 

[u/Poopin-in-the-sink → u/Omnipotent48]

Nah. Locked up forever because he's going to be a nuisance to society

[u/BigRedCandle_ → u/Poopin-in-the-sink]

We don’t lock people up because they’re a nuisance wtf. Also prison costs 50k per inmate, plus the opportunity cost of the inmates lost tax revenue. It’s not the quick fix you think it is.

[u/Poopin-in-the-sink → u/BigRedCandle_]

We lock people up for far less than being a nuisance

[u/BigRedCandle_ → u/Poopin-in-the-sink]

Who is we?

Short sentences are a waste of resources and statistically result in repeat offences. It doesn’t make anything actually better it’s just about making angry people feel better because someone is being punished

[u/Poopin-in-the-sink → u/BigRedCandle_]

Society.

This kid is clearly violent. You think violent people should be on the streets?

[u/BigRedCandle_ → u/Poopin-in-the-sink]

If you think putting every fucked up teenager in prison for the rest of their life is an actual viable option then you must be stupid.

I have more empathy than I do fear of teenagers lol

[u/Poopin-in-the-sink → u/[deleted]]

What does that even mean?
