Dad Turns In Teen Gaza Protester Who Vandalized WWI Memorial

[DigitalDrifter]

Since this is New York, I doubt anything will really happen to this little piece of shit, but we can always hope!
The deputy commissioner claims he won't go unpunished, but I'll believe it when I see it.

A 16-year-old protester who allegedly vandalized a World War I memorial during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Central Park has been arrested after his own father turned him over to police, according to a report. The teen was taken into custody on Thursday night following the protest on Monday in which the words “Gaza” and “Free Palestine” were scrawled onto the base of the 107th Infantry Memorial, according to the New York Post. The outlet says the adolescent now faces a felony charge of criminal mischief in the third degree and a misdemeanor charge of making graffiti.

Good dad, miserable POS son

Did Dad cut off the money?

I am guessing that the father and son do not have a very close relationship.

If they did, the father would have had a talk with his son to explain why vandalizing that memorial was a very hurtful act -- instead of calling the cops.

It's called personal responsibility

If our son did something stupid like this he'd suffer two punishments. I guarantee the kid glove government would be far less

/—-/ It’s how parents teach their children right from wrong and personal responsibility. Your way avoids both.

And just letting him get away with it?

If the two had a close relationship (both treasured each other), the son might see the folly of his actions.

Good for the dad.

I think its good that the kid has to make public restitution

Not go to jail, 6-8 weekends picking up trash along the highway or parks seems about right to me

Or learn about the sacrifice brave men did

I can't even imagine what my dad would have done, he would have been beyond furious.
Of course, my dad raised me to honor and be reverent around such things as war memorials.
