I'm not a parent, but if I was, I'd like to think I would have raised my child with better judgement than to text pictures of his dick to some girl...
Having BEEN a teenager, sometimes I didn't make the best choices. Living and learning is part of growing up. I empathize on one level with the hell that the cops have put this kid and his family through, but I will guarantee that HE will be laughing about it eventually.
