Assault & Robbery


A few weeks ago I experienced something that blew my mind off. My twelve year old son and his classmate actually got robbed by the fifteen year old fellow. What the hell the world is coming to? The youngsters rob youngsters? It’s a damn grown-ups thing to do. That’s what I thought and I was so f…..g wrong. What do they expect; that 12year kids carry a million bucks in their pockets? This bastard got away with four lousy bucks kicking the shit out of the boys.
At first I thought my son was just making the things up as excuse for coming home , later than usuall, from school. Man, what a bummer not believing my own son, I felt like a shit.
I couldn’t get it, this is Sweden, these things don't happen here. Wrong again. Crime among youth doesn’t happen just at one particular place it spreads like a virus all around the world. That’s a fact and there isn't much we can do alone.

Grasshopper - how terrible for you and your son -
I can well imagine your anger and frustration -and how the hell does one handle a situation like this. And it is happening here in Canada, two recent cases being tried, one for almost killing a 14yr. old girl by three of her 'friends. What were they on?
You have the challenge of your life, my friend, being a parent in these times. Hope your son is ok emotionally -
I'm sending all my best wishes -'

This is really sad to hear.... I hope that your son is doing alright now.

Expressing emotions is a natural act in ones character. It gives your heart and your mind such a pleasant relief. Holding it inwardly makes your heart shiver.
