Father says state failed to lock up boy suspect
Citing past crimes, the man says an Ewa Beach neighbor could still be alive
By Alexandre Da Silva
"An Ewa Beach man had long worried that his son's petty crimes would lead to calamity one day.
The father said he believes the killing could have been prevented, and blamed the state's juvenile services for not helping his son or locking him up sooner.
Police have said that petition would cite murder, robbery, burglary, auto theft and other charges.
The father of a 15-year-old murder suspect says the killing of an Ewa Beach woman could have been avoided if law enforcement officials had listened to him and put his son in jail.
"He had a burglary in Pearl City. The policeman called me up to pick him up, and I told them, 'Why can't you guys lock him up?'" said the man, who gave only his first name, Petelo, in an interview yesterday.
"They said, 'We cannot because he is underage.'"
Yes. It could have all been PREVENTED!!! If the Father used good parenting skills. Every time something goes wrong ~ parents always blame the System.
They should blame themselves.
Counselors only know what the child/teenager tell them. They're not "with" them. Parents/Foster Parents are also interviewed. I'm not saying there's no cracks within the system. There are...my own nephew is a statistic.
The father should have put his foot down and say "NO!" and prohibited his son from hanging around with his friends. He is the Adult. He's the Provider. At the end of the article the father said all his son wanted was to finish high school and become like him?
And Dee Cycle of Ignorance begins again!!:
