So I was reading an article today with the title “Mother Has Surprising Reaction To Son’s Arrest”. At first I figured this mother probably did something like kiss the police for teaching her son a lesson. I thought that would be surprising. Unfortunately that’s not what happened. Her reaction certainly is surprising and very sad. I think she needs to be locked up too!
This occurred in Nashville, Tennessee.
Mother Has Surprising Reaction To Son’s Arrest
COMMENTARY: “Word on the Street” by Larry Brinton
Almost nothing surprises Metro police officers. They hear and see most everything. But something happened that even drug officers find hard to believe.
…
Sgt. Buddy Rhett, who was working with a couple of other officers, said they saw a 17-year-old sell a younger boy a Lortab pill, a pain-killer related to codeine, for $10.
The undercover officers quickly moved in and arrested both teenagers.
Searching the older youth’s car, they found a loaded 45-caliber pistol in the trunk. He told officers the gun belonged to a friend, and he didn’t know it was in the car.
…
And what was his mother’s response?
What he had done wrong, she scolded her son, was not recognizing the undercover policeman’s car and getting caught.
…
“We spend five minutes with them,? the drug sergeant said, “and their parents spend 24 hours with them.”
“And here’s a case where it didn’t matter to a teenager’s mother what he was doing. Her concern was how to avoid being caught,” the sergeant said.
Do you think this teenager has a chance in life?

Mr. Brinton, I don’t think a single person living in their house has a chance in life.
Any mother that would respond is such a way makes me wonder what she’s up to herself. Those drug police need to get a search warrant and see what’s in their house.
