sorry, but i would diss agree with you there white kat if i had a daughter or son i would not call the cops on them no matter what they did. i dont think in any way would that help giving your son a criminal record or getting him or her into trouble…
He was destroying the family home, other peoples property and intimidating his mum and sister, it sounds like there must have been existing trouble/friction the family and they would not have been able to overpower him and make him see sense. he took the drugs and got himself in trouble, not anyone else.
the dilemma the parent had was that she has two siblings, and perhaps not enough backup to protect her other kid.
if he was feeling bad he could have run away from the house and hid up in some park instead of fighting his family. this is also domestic violence and people behaving like that deserve to get nicked – at least then they can be held up to societys judgement and made to apologise (which to be fair he did)
in moral terms there’s not much difference really between his family calling 999 or him being a idiot in the street and some bystanders calling 999.
