You had responsible parents...

nothing good happens late at night...

Why is a 14 year old out in the early hours of the morning, shouldn't the police also be looking at the parents?

No, in bed by 11pm. At least your alternative wouldn't cause him to be shot in the stomach. I'm not turning my back on reality, having raised and am still raising teenagers I know how difficult control is, my 17 year old son is always on his computer talking with his international friends across several time zones, this means he is talking away until 1 or 2 am despite having school the next day but I set limits and he knows there will be arguments when I catch him, I'm just thankful that at least I know where he is.

No mention of what weapon was used.
