I still remember my neighbor’s son getting caught shoplifting when he was 17. His mom tried to hide the stolen video game instead of making him turn himself in. It backfired, wait, no, scratch that. It backfired. He got a harsher sentence, and she picked up a misdemeanor. This story about the mom helping her teen clean up after a stabbing hits way too close to home. You love your kid more than anything, but sometimes shielding them from consequences is the worst choice you can make. No line of code can fix that kind of broken judgment.
