    Isn't this always the case...neighbors or family will say, "little Johnny would never do something like that, he's so well behaved!" That's because they've only seen the:angel: and not the :devil2:.

    Follow an ******* kid home and you'll find ******* parents.

    Keep records of all this, so that if anything further happens and (God forbid) it comes to civil suit you have the info.

    Hang in there and THANKS for doing the right thing.

    I have a13 year old, and as good as he is I would NEVER say never about him or any of his friends. I just can't always say always either. :)

    Please publish the name of the kid, and his parents that are denying this. Did you show them the photos? How can they argue with that? If they are that ignorant, they deserve what they get. Please also PM me the information on location, I also have a student at Eagle Ridge too and want to keep her away from such fools.

    Then don't post it, but it the information should be shared somehow to truly protect our residents from these kids. To say this happened on a pathway in B'lands and not say where is leaving the community in danger.

    The family that was initially not receptive reached out and expressed their disappointment in their son's involvement and assured us that a long hard talk had been had with him and that he would be punished. We take them at their word.

    We are not sharing the names or photos of the boys on this site or anywhere else. Several parents have expressed concerns that their own children may be friends or "hanging" with these boys. That's very possible and I would encourage parents to use this situation as an opening to talk to their children about consequences of their actions, pranks that can go awry, and not condoning or encouraging this type of behavior by laughing, joking about it or, even worse, participating in it. I know I had this talk with my own children this weekend.

    As to where this happened, the fishing line was strung between two trees and partially strung between two bridge railings at the very north end of Broadlands, in the woods off of Chickacoan not too far from the small playground by Broadlands Blvd.

    Thanks to everyone for your input and concern. Let's hope nothing like this is ever repeated here.
