Concerned Citizen, are you for real? We cannot dictate every action of our kids, and we cannot know every move they make at all hours of the day or night. We can teach, guide, promote good behaviour, and while we can expect it, ultimately we cannot dictate it. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot in the end make him drink as the saying goes. Kids do not come with a manual, and as experience has proven , they are not cut from the same cloth even when born and bred in the same family. It is nonsense to hold parents responsible for everything their kids do wrong........do you also take credit for everything your kids do right? When do kids get to take responsibility and credit for their own choices and accomplishments in life?

Whiteswan69..Let ne start by saying "if you have no kids, you have no opinion..period." If you do have kids let me reassure you, that you DO NOT know what your kids are doing AT ALL times. If you think you do, you're in denial.
It seems to me that if you are a parent, you are one of these peoples who's kids can do nothing wrong, in retrospect you are not doing them a favor,because at some point they have. Something to think about..

Just across the border at Buffalo in a convenience type store you can buy 100,000 volt taser like weapons, brass knuckles etc etc.
No parent is going to check everything their 15 yr old buys at these places or if he didn't have the opportunity himself, what he buys from his friends who did.

Get with the program Whiteswan69.

Well the image shown above is a stock image that i've seen used many times. They were not the ones used in this case.

I knew someone who made them once. It's not incredibly difficult.

Excuse me for saying this, but, I agree, where ARE the parents? Saying we TRY to teach and we HOPE for the best is BS. As parents we have a responsibility to KNOW where our kids are and WHAT they are up to! We can't just throw our hands up int air and say "OH WELL< I DID MY BEST". Parenting starts at birth and pretty much continues, in one form or another, til ya die!

White Swan, why do you insist on the parents being held responsible. At 15 years old, parents have little real control of what the kid does or have knowledge of what he has in his backpack, unless you are an over zealous, over protective parent who also invades your childs right to privacy.

We strive to teach our kids good morals, ethics, values and character, we make rules, etc. however in the end kids make their own choices. Sometimes they make the wrong choices, and we cannot blame that entirely on the parents. Many good parents have children that have gone astray despite their attempts to keep them on the straight and narrow path.

Kids are influenced by so many contradictory values in society, television, peers, video games and sometimes parents with bad habits and possibly addictions, and\or criminal pasts also influence kids, but for the most part, it appears kids make immature choices. We have given our kids far too much freedom in this society, and it is too late to reign them back in. What we can best hope for is that they have learned something from our teaching and advice and influence and they act on those influences, or that they learn from their mistakes young so as not to engage in more severe trouble in the future. Most kids go through a rough spot in life, and if they get through unscathed, they eventually return to the morals and values taught by their parents or guardians and teachers in past.

Good question white. With the internet you get easy access to just about anything,just a thought. He will probably get a slap on the hand for this being 15 yrs old.

How did a 15 year old teenager get brass knuckles.What is wrong with his parents,don't they know any better to find out how their kid or kids got brass knuckles.Those knuckles are weapons and very dangerous when someone gets hit with it.The parents are to blame too.Nice job by the Police to arrest that teenager.
