2nd case: I understand she was mad her stepmother didn't come to her graduation, but damn, why did she do that? So, this case teaches that charm school can't change someone's behavior, it's on that person themselves. They learn how to act proper, but they have to choose to behave that way.
About the 1st case, maybe since I'm a military veteran myself I'm highly partial to veterans, especially those suffering from PTSD, I supported the ruling. No, that still didn't give him the right to threaten a little boy but I also believe that the neighbors should be a little more sensitive to the veteran's illness. For the 2nd case, I knew right away that it was an issue of the girl just acting out. She's probably resentful of her stepmother, which is quite common.
1st case ruling was completely fair. I feel embarrassed for the mother who is dumb enough to think her 11yo doesn't lie and who doesn't give a shit about his service and ptsd. At the end, she proved how ignorant she is about ptsd and the process of getting help for vets. It's not as easy as it SHOULD be. Defendant owned what he did, even the things he wasn't proud of AND apologized. You have my respect sir 🫡
I think with the 1st case there was an issue what cause and effect... not every action deserves a reaction. They both played a part in the situation I definitely agree with the ruling.
The Step Mom just wanted to drop the kid off and expect the Charm School to FIX HER. Girl Bye. Years of your neglectful parenting cannot erase your child's bad behavior.
