[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 102268, member: 3626"] I hope he learns there is a huge difference between telling on someone using pot and someone about to be seriously injured. While using pot is illegal, it isn't a plan to hurt or kill another being. There are some things where it is understandable to not stand up and say this is wrong. There are times when you have to stand up and say this will not happen and I'll do everything in my power to stop it. Hopefully, he will one day understand that and if he hears of something like this ever happening will do his best to stop it. If someone had known the plan was to take this girl out to beat the bejesus out of her and did not speak up, they can be found to be guilty of charges such as accessory and, in some states, even the same crimes as the kids who actively participated. I doubt the boy who watched will get off with just a slap on the wrist unless he can prove he didn't know it was going to happen until the beating started. Then he might be able to claim fear of injury as to why he didn't do anything. What a horrid, sad situation for everyone -- even the kids at school like your son who had to hear about it in the news. It is another loss of innocence. [/QUOTE]
