I think I told you all the story about a friend of my son who was arrested. If not here is the story.
My son (wife's son not my biological son but he calls me daddy and I consider him my son), his cousin who was 18 at the time, and a friend went to Wal-Mart in Bossier City. The 18 year old went to buy some head phones for his birthday. While he was shopping my son and his friend were looking around.
Well the friend had $30 in his wallet but instead buying a charger he decides to steal a charger. He took the charger in the restroom and opened the package in order to steal it. My son was sitting outside the bathroom. Well when the cousin purchased his items they leave out and Wal-Mart loss prevention stops them. They let the cousin go but apprehend my son and his friend.
Wal-Mart felt that my son was the look out and the friend was stealing. Police were called and they called both kids parents. When we questioned my son he stated that his friend said to wait outside. As my wife has always said "parents know their kids." She knew right off the bat that it was some bullshit. Of course when he got home he got his ass whooped and then I sternly counseled him.
Well the friend has always asked my advice so I decided to go and talk with him at his home. His mother was there and I basically talked to him about right and wrong and consequences.
Well his dad comes home and I introduce myself he didn't shake my hand, he then asked his live in girlfriend (the mother-who by the way is a distant relative of my wife) who I was. She told him and then stated "I don't know nothing about that shit." I continued to speak to his son because I can recognize a coward a mile away. My son was with me as well. When I left I explained to my son that often times kids can be a representation of their parents and that we are hard on him because he knows better.
Well about a week later my son's biological father tells him to tell me that the guy felt disrespected that I counseled his son and that his is not required to pay the white man for anything and should just take it. The dad claims to be one of these "woke" Muslims. Notice he told another man to tell his son to tell me. After that I distanced myself from the kid. I felt that I didn't need all that cowardice bullshit in my life.
Well last night I was told that the kid was arrested for theft from a pharmacy. He was trying to steal prescription drugs. When they went to his home they found more prescription drugs in his dad's room and the father was arrested. It really bothered me because before I distanced myself from the kid he was asking about enrolling in college, playing football, and joining the military.
A part of me feels like I failed this kid because now he is a part of the system.
