Junior Rolls Car Spinning Brodies @ Lakes, Smirks

A local boy didn't seem too upset after he rolled his 1996 Dodge truck with three passengers after spending 10 to 15 minutes spinning brodies on the west lawn at Lakes Middle School. In CPD Blue Bangs report, the kid merely and laughed when informed that he'd caused about $5,000 damage to the school grounds and was facing a felony. Bangs and another officer arrived to find teen-age girls running from the scene. The girls told the officers that they tried to get their friend to stop because he was driving too fast, scaring them. They climbed out the windows of the pickup after the driver rolled the truck on its side. No one was injured. A male passenger also ran from the scene. The driver was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. He told the officers that his dad would fix his truck. When the father arrived on the scene with a tow truck and was informed about the charges his son was facing, he simply said: "OK."

Question: How would you react if your child had pulled this same stunt?
