My son did admit to going with the boy to the one house while taking a lawn mower the boy had tried to give him back over to his house, nothing was taken. My son watched him break in, not actually was involved. He told the officer it was a dumb thing to do. I asked him why he didn't say anything, and even the officer knew why because he asked him, my son was desperate for a friend. His entire 10 yrs that we have lived here, only two boys have made friends with him, and this bad boy he only started to go over there because this boys father was teaching them how to repair motors, and my son told me his older brothers had moved out and that he didn't do bad things anymore, that was when he was younger. So I gave my son some decision responsibility and it goes terribly wrong. He hadn't seen the boy for over three yrs, so I gave it a chance. Most boys make mistakes when they are younger, some learn, some don't. This other boy is now 20 yrs old. He had no right getting my younger son involved in any of this, yet he is also on disability mentally and I believe the police are trying to charge both boys because they only want to make the neighbors feel safe. Even if the older boy did these things, he isn't even capable of realising much, he isn't all there. My son was nice enough to be his friend despite his shortcomings and now the police are saying this boy said all these things about my son. Like I said, it just doesn't make much sense. My son is a good kid, he has stated playing basketball and football at school, he does the normal things boys do at this age, but to accuse him when there is no way he could have snuck out is beyond me. I would have seen tracks in the snow by the back door in winter, and he would have had to sneak by our friends room, you can HEAR the door open from upstairs and the dogs would have barked like crazy. He was always with me until we went to bed, and has no way to get as far as some of these homes are, we live way in the country, while the other boys family have several vehicles, in fact when we went to pick up my son, the officer asked the other boy about a red truck that was sitting in his yard. My father who was an officer said in order to charge my son with any armed burglary, they would have had to find a gun on him as he was leaving a home, etc. The gun was FOUND AT the OTHER boys home with the OTHER boys fingerprints on them ONLY. The boys have guns out here in the country for hunting, it is not unusual here, so when my son told the officer that he had seen guns in the boys room hiding ANd on the wall, there is really nothing unusual about that . But ONE gun WAS the gun the police were looking for that the OTHER boy TRIED TO SAY my SON had, AND THEN THEY FIND IT AT THE OTHER BOYS HOUSE. So WHY are they trying so hard to accuse my son, when that boy LIED about where the gun was? This any genius could figure out as being strange in the first place...
