Caller Lucy explains to Tom why calling the police on her son has led to him becoming an 'extremely kind and responsible individual'. #lbc #police #crime
Right?! My cousin has called the police on her son many times when he was in his late teens and early 20s. She then kicked him out because he was a threat to his younger siblings. He lived homeless for a while, and now he's living in assisted accomodation for the youths
Been smoking it since I was 16 and now 36, never caused anyone any issues and I certainly would never treat another human being, never mine me own mother, like how he did. Marijuana effects different people in different ways much like alcohol.
This is 100% what my mother would have done. Parenting is a skill that's not taught in schools. Not many have the skill set. Tough love is still love. Perhaps the most important kind. Saving your child from the blight of drugs is a heroic thing to do.
I've been imprisoned at 17 since leaving I've never been in trouble either... I smoke cannabis and it stopped my anger and PTSD brought on by my wrongful imprisonment.. 37 now
Yes she did what she thought was the best thing at the time. We don’t know her story concerning the father but if he was around even as a father out the family home he should have been more involved. I feel we must put more into families being together more and that the parents bring the children up and not teachers or the government but I realise things have changed making that difficult.
It is really hard for a mother to call the police to arrest her son. She is doing it out of love for her son, and to help, and rescue him from the clutches of drugs!
I was stealing stuff from shops everyday after school. My sisters boyfriend introduced me to shoplifting. It was a rush. Then one day I was caught in Woolworths and the cops came and I was taken to the police station. It was very real. I didn't even consider it after that. Around the age of 14/15 (now 36). The police can have huge positive impact on people's lives.
I was a tearaway kid and my parents called the police on me a few times, last time they wouldn't let me home and I went into a naughty kids home. My brothers were not like me, I had middle child syndrome. I'm now 40 with 2 young adult kids that are my complete opposite. My parents wernt the best but did what they could to make me behave. I've never come anywhere close to calling the police on my kids but I know a family that should have years ago as now the girl is selling drugs and on tag now she is 19.
We only have one side of the story here, could well be that when she says "confrontational" he would say "finally standing up for himself" and when she said "violent" he would say "raised his voice to match hers " 😂 "never been in trouble again" could well mean "moved out as soon as physically possible, hasn't looked back since and she has no idea what he's doing with his life now because she's not in it" 😂
While I’m glad it didn’t, that could have really backfired. Not all crimes require someone to press charges, and he could have easily acted out towards the cops in a way that put him into the criminal justice system.
Things that never really happened, but obviously she was just kinda desperate for the attention... Gotta love the whole "he got confrontational and violent" nonsense.... The only thing in any real danger is the kitchen cupboards and maybe the leftovers in the fridge...
Thank you for calling in on the subject of, you! I rather enjoyed hearing about how marijuana is now associated with rage. This woman has an incomplete and ignorant view on this subject. I'd bet after a long days work her son still enjoys it. Just not around her.
Abusing marijihana 😂😂 this like a sketch from the fast show 😂😂 he was a teenager. Thats his mood change lol and violent? A stoner being violent was probably knocking over a bottle of juice as he reached for more pizza! 😅😅😅 what a silly silly woman lol. 😂 She actually thinks the police service is a parenting tool?! What a waste of their time. Silly silly woman 😂
You definitely seem like a person who thinks you can’t get addicted to marijuana. Like anything, it can affect your mood. You can abuse it and people do and grow dependent on it causing issues. As someone who does use it recreationally and have also been addicted, I can confirm when you’re addicted you do in fact change behaviour patterns.
Many children go through a phase, it's part of growing up. Parents aren't as much as an influence as friends are once they reach a certain age. Most grow out of it, some go deeper into it and some are traumatised by it in some way. Ultimately, regardless of how we're raised, we make our own choices.
@@mtndew-lh5uw some people get paranoid, some people who are paranoid deal with it by being violent. It's not a magic cure all however much we'd like it to be.
When parents no longer parent and ask the police to step in and be that. When I was young if I mis behaved I got a smack for it. And funny enough I stopped mis behaving. The threat of a smack became a deterrent. And the old if you ever bring the police to our door you won’t sit for a week. Was enough. There comes a time when words just simply are not enough, and parents need the confidence to know they won’t be arrested etc so the govt. need to change some rules to allow for this.
As soon as she called it Mary J (can’t use her actual word or lbc deletes the comment), I knew how this call was going to go. Within the century it will be legalised 100% as the Uk always follows the US in drg policies and it’s being legalised in more and more states
Excellent parenting! It is absolutely crucial that a parent follows through on any threat they make, because otherwise the kid will just keep expanding those boundaries.
Anything can be a problem if it doesnt react well with you. Thats why narcotics should be regulated. Its not stopping but getting worse. But i bet the black market economy is too powerful now. That money is going somewhere.
It sounds as though she was bringing her son up on her own - no mention is made of a husband or father of the boy. I wonder if the police who dealt with him were men. Was this the factor which made the crucial difference?
Marijuana is so strong now will mess with your mind. Especially young minds as the membrane circumference in your brain hasn’t fully developed Also it’s not like years ago when it made you smile in fact is totally the opposite also
She's lucky they didn't charge him just to have an easy case to pass onto CPS. He could have ended up with a flag that showed up on DBS checks for the rest of his life just because she palmed her role as a parent off onto the police. Great job lady.
And imagine if she’d let him continue with this incident, or got even more violent within the next, and he got arrested for Assault, GBH or worse. Far worse than a DBS tick. She has altered the course of his life to avoid any sort of further trouble with the law.
So you would have allowed your child to continue to get out of control? She did the right thing sometimes parents can't discipline their child and need help and look at the result now you sound negative
marijuana is not the blame sorry he's 16 no man in the house disciplined by a woman this kid like so many others in western society under these conditions will do poorly
I’ve had friends that I would consider have abused cannabis. Most people treat it as a recreational drug like a cigarette. I’ve had two friends that pretty much lived their life around the drug.
@Mr_Reset I mean, people live their life around a lot of hobbies. Cannabis is one of mine, so is collecting various things which takes more of my money but I wouldn't call any of it 'abusing'
@nathancloke8970 pier preasure usually. When in Rome you do what the Romans do otherwise your destine to become the isolated hermit. That's why prohibition is vital.
It’s not the ‘erb, it’s testosterone and being 16. Not respecting you as a parent isn’t the ‘erbs fault. Erbs not for everyone, true. But, all kindsa people smoke/vape/digest erb daily that aren’t ‘ the wrong crowd ‘. Business owners etc. More sensible people use ‘erb than don’t, is all I’m saying. Lots of people use it medically for real. Sorry you went through that with your son , regardless of your perceived reasons. As I said, it’s not for everyone, but 99.9% of the time, people are the way they are and ‘erbs SO common it’s just a present factor. Paz a’amor 🫡🫶
