at a local boat club. One couple had just bought a brand new boat and had just put it in the water (hadnt even ridden in it yet!) While some people may be saying people who can afford boats can afford this...but these boats were not large ones and most of these boat owners were middle class... several boats burned and a few sunk because of these two boys 'fun'... my question is...where are the PARENTS?? i also have a 13 year old and she has to be in bed @ 10 (the crime was committed in the middle of the night)... what do you think?

The kids should be charged with a crime. What they did was against the law. It doesn't matter if the boat cost $100 or $100,000. The parents should be held responsible as well.

That's pretty sad. Also very stupid, it might just be rebel teens and not the parents. (some try) just can't manage to handle them and by the sounds of those girls they seem set on doing evil acts ~Joey
