Release the names of the parents, but not the alleged teen criminals. If the parents allow their teens to run wild, the victims of their crimes should sue the parents in civil court. The more often victims stand up, the more likely parents will start controling the children they obviously could't or wouldn't raise well.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment.
