Is this boy a potential danger to society?

Question

This boy put vaseline in his dad's gas gauge because he's mad @ him. What's gonna happen to this man's car? I'm not sure if it's called a gas gauge, but it's the part where you put gasoline in the car. I forgot what it's called. Brain freeze because I'm so shocked about this.

Anyway, this 16-yr. old boy got mad @ his dad for something. I don't know. 1 of my friend's coworkers came & told us about it. & the dad said, "Since you wanna be so smart alec (sp.), you take YOUR money from your check you got paid with & go put gas in my car!"

So, the boy took his dad's car & took it ALL THE WAY to Dollar Tree to go get cheap Vaseline (petroleum jelly), & put it in the car & just left the car be, because he was afraid the car might blow up or break down on him or something, so he took the bus back home. Then, he lied to his dad, saying someone stole the car. & he went bragging & laughing to his friends about putting the vaseline in the gas gauge, or whatever.

Word spreads around small towns VERY fast! But the guy who came & told us was DYING laughing. I don't think it's funny. It's SAD! What precaution would you take if your teen did this to your car? & the man's car is like 3 yrs. old. The boy suffers ADHD & Bipolar & has behavior disorder & a learning disability.

Answer 1

I'd get a locking gas cap, to start!  The boy needs counseling.  His behavior is passive-aggressive.  He's mad at his dad, so he tries to hurt the car.  Better than attacking his dad, but still a problem.  The kid needs to learn better ways to deal with his anger.  If he doesn't get a handle on it, he's going to wind up in jail.

And if he's bipolar, he needs to be on meds like Lithium as a mood stabilizer.  Definitely NOT on an anti-depressant like Prozac!  That can cause severe aggressive behavior.  a lot of small town doctors don't know what they're doing when it comes to psychiatric meds.

Answer 2

It is very sad, but unfortunately society has taught us to spoil our children rotten & that they do not have to obey their authorities...yes, that is their parents!Another sad point is  that this boy probably takes medication for these disorders.The side effects can cause a person to display unusual behavior.This kid sounds "over diagnosed & spoiled rotten.I really do not know if he is dangerous....it is hard to tell unless you have known him for years and can see behavior changes(like being cruel to animals, threatening people, etc)

It is NOT funny.Nothing justifies his behavior...but there are always two sides to every story!

Answer 3

im sry but that is one crazy mother f**ker

Answer 4

Maybe yes, maybe no. If something like this continues to happen with him, than its possible, and he would need help. It might not be just his dad he's mad at, but maybe he's just taking out anger or something. Maybe he should get some help... especially if something like this continues.

Answer 5

Well, what the boy did is dangerous, not only to his dad, but to anyone unfortunate enough to be on the road at the same time as that car if it's not fixed. So yes, if he does things that puts others in danger then he kind of is a danger to society.

Answer 6

If his illnesses are left untreated, yes, he may become dangerous.

Answer 7

maybe its the dad that is a danger to society........ i mean come on there MUST be something that the father is doing to that kid to p**s him off like that. just sayin, a different point of veiw could be needed here. but i am deffinately not saying that the kid was right, im just saying maybe the dad isnt right either....

Answer 8

no he is not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

Answer 10

Just find his dad, and tell him, this could not only pose a threat to the driver of the car, but also the people around him. Also, tell the police to seize the car ASAP.

Answer 11

Pray, this boy has serious problems.

Answer 12

I believe this boy is a danger to society...he's bipolar!  His dad need to take him to get some pills for his disorder.
