<p>I’m not so quick to blame the parents for their children’s actions. </p>
<p>I am a frugal person, my son is not.</p>
<p>He didn’t learn to be a ‘spender’ from me. In fact, I think my frugality is a turn off to him. If he were to run up credit card debt, I would be upset, but I’d never take it personally.</p>
<p>Children don’t always learn from the good examples around them. </p>
<p>In the case of these 2 ‘kids’, I don’t see the point of bailing them out. Then you have to take them home. I think my son would rather be in jail than have to live with my wrath if he committed a crime like this. </p>
<p>In fact, time they spent in jail now could possible count towards their time served. No point in bringing them home for the holidays if all they deserve is coal in their stocking.</p>
<p>Drexel and Penn are 45K a year schools. These aren’t stupid lazy people. These are cunning thieves. </p>
<p>I have always told me son life is a series of choices. Not all will be good choices. Some you may get to make again, some are irreversible. This crime will affect the rest of their lives. No place better to start realizing that than sitting in jail until sentencing.</p>
