Well I don't know how you do things in New Jersey, but over here we don't pigeonhole troubled teenagers as "abnormal and wicked" because of their emotional outbursts.

Presumably in your little village Patrick would be tried by a Council of Elders for breaking the 5th commandment and stoned by the peasantfolk?

Can I invite you into the 21st century where me meet adolescent parental contretempts with mature empathy rather than holy condemnation?
