TW, first can I thank you for explaining what happened with the 15 year old.
I doubt he'll try the same thing again.
Secondly, with regards to the above, I'm pretty sure that if Russ', mine or your child was told "I'm going to see your father" after being caught doing something wrong/illegal etc then they'd be quaking in their shoes knowing that they would get a punishment when they got home.
Unfortunatley, too many parents refuse to deal with their children in such a situation, choosing rather to take it out on the person reporting the offence.
I know one parent came to school and threatened a teacher with physical violence because his child had been given a detention!
