Local tagger went on a spree

Seems a local 15 year old went on a taqging spree over the course of a couple of days, he pretty much tagged every fence or house for a couple blocks around except his parents. The police didn't have any trouble finding him and gave him some BS petty charge while his parents defended him as a good kid. So far 41 lawsuits have been filed against his parent by people alleging costs they have occurred to clean up the graffiti and of course his parents are blaming the neighbors for not letting kids be kids. I am really hoping his parents get stuck with every bit of the cleanup costs, maybe they can pay for it by selling their motor home covered in Trump stickers and banners.

Like when someone cuts you off and nearly causes a wreck, and a police car materializes and pulls that asshole over. Yeah, it would be a low-down dirty rotten shame if Mom and Dad had to pay a whole lot of clean-up costs for their fine young son.

the whole neighborhood is on a downhill slide. And every homeowner suffers steep devaluing of their property.

The parents should pay and the kid helps the clean-up of does some juvenile time.
