We had a burglary,told the pd who did it,had a full hand on window for prints,said we were wrong,was just kids.WRONG We had a burglary at rent house,deputy drove by,stopped in road,said make of list of things missing will be back,never came back.Caught theif ourselves next day,called deputy,while she was confessing,my husband/ex-officer,asked if he was going to read her rights, deputy said"are you really going to file charges,I will have to take her to jail.Had over $5,000.00 property taken off my truck,deputy called theif to see if he really took it.never filed.Called sheriff office about kids on go karts,dirt bikes, no helmets,on county road,asked her not to put it over the air because they had scanners,she said"well at least they will stop". This has been over a period of about 10 years.They continue to ask the county for more money, at least they can drive new cars and look good.
to fr chuck, my husband is x-officer,daughter is a police officer, I am a retired dispatcher, 911 and emergency mngmnt instructor.to jan h i do not make frivolous calls,and out of the incidents i mention was over a period of about 10 years.most officers are polite and courteous, as long as they don't have to make a report, that would be work,I took hundreds of calls that were frivolous to me,i took calls that were from someone who called on a regular basis,and let me tell you,i never-ever let a call go unanswered.I never had a call come in that an officer did not respond to, that is their job,they don't like it then they need to find another job.every person that called me helped to pay my bills,at the time they called it was important to them,it was their life and they needed help,and i sent it.the time will come when you will see what I mean.Police are similar to Doctors, we can't solve the problem ourselves, we have to depend on them. to largopirate-thanks

They are there to give tickets. That's where they make quota and get coupons for steak dinners. They don't want to work harder than giving tickets. That's hard work.

Do you think a 4 Wheeler is an appropriate gift for a 13 year old child?

Q. Actually this is a gift for 2 kids (they're twins). They both have driven a 4 wheeler in the past and they have both been asking for it for at least 2 years? I have already bought it, but much of my family disagrees. They say it's not appropriate for their age. HELP?

Answer
Listen, you are their parent! I have twins as well and I bought them a dirt bike (only a 50) when they were 12 and they have handled it fine. Actually, they drive that thing better than I ever could. You obviously do have to abide by your state laws, though.

Oh and P.S. if you talk to your kids about getting hurt--they really do listen. They will understand that what they see on tv is just that--tv. Kids today are much more mature than they used to be and if you will just be honest with them, they understand almost anything you try to tell them.
You can also set a certain speed limit on most of those ATVs. Plus, of course, a helmet should be worn. You can have a lot of control over where they can go on it and how fast they drive it.

Other than that as long as they have your permission and your supervision, you do not have to listen to anyone else. You know what your child can and cannot do. This decision has to be yours and yours alone. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
