When I was 12, if a person of authority told me I’d be put in juvy, I would have pissed my pants and ran home crying to my Mom. And I would have 100% believed it. Kudos to this kid and the many others who are realizing not all adults in positions of authority are telling you the truth.

So assuming he is a good guy with a gun and also in theory would be a good christian man, devoted husband and father…ya know all the stereotypes that you can think of…is he supposed to be telling the child NOT to lie to any one of those authority figures?
Oh that’s right silly me…its all just bull shit anyway.
