Local Loozahs

Today's installment of "Local Loozahs" comes courtesy of the Boston Herald (emphasis mine):

WAYLAND - Ten Wayland High graduates, including a class president and children of two selectmen, were arrested early yesterday morning on charges that they trashed the high school less than two days after commencement.

Eight of the teens nabbed in the SUV admitted taking part in what they called a "senior prank", police said. At Framingham District Court, the teens, who did not enter pleas, appeared before Judge Robert V. Greco. They will be back in court on Aug. 4.

What a bunch of numbnuts. So if this was, as they claim, a "senior prank", I think it would only be fitting for the school to restore unto them their status as seniors, beginning next fall. The best thing the judge could do here is revoke their diplomas, annul all academic credits accrued during their senior year, and THEN send them on home to Mommy and Daddy.

Stupid pricks.

UPDATE: Here's a follow-up piece with more detail:

By 6:30 yesterday morning, Principal Charles Ruopp said the mess had been cleaned up by janitors and some of the mothers of the teens who are charged.

Ruopp said he would rather have had the school cleaned up by those responsible instead of the mothers of the charged teens.

Oh, how nice. Their mommies went and cleaned up their mess. And not for the first time, I'll wager. What the hell is wrong with these people? Do Mommy and Daddy honestly think they'll always be there to bailout their "good kids"? Do they think they're doing their idiot kids a favor with this enabling behavior?

Why not try a little discipline, instead? It won't kill you. And who knows, maybe your kids will learn some morals and grow up to be men and women of character. What a novel concept to be imparting on our youth.
