So true.
My friends and I got caught doing something stupid when we were sixteen. We didn't get caught in the act, rather someone witnessed our stupidity, recognized one of my friends and called the police.
The police called my friends father. Mr. Carlsen asked them if they wouldn't mind if he and the other father's took care of the incident.
The police agreed.
I really wish they hadn't. Father's in those days didn't have restrictor plates when it came to right and wrong.
