what can I say, its in- between day
When there are no consequences for such behavior (says in the article, the offender would not be charged), the precedence “I can do what I want… nothing will happen to me” is set. Let’s hope the parents dole out habit changing punishment.
According to state law there will be no charges………that’s exactly why Maryland has such a high crime rate, no consequences for one’s actions
I truly hope that the parents take this as a sign and get this kid in therapy before it gets worse!! Aiming for the neck is not an accident, it’s intentional! The school or police won’t take action, but I really hope the parents do.
