One of my students is a law enforcement officer. Just yesterday he was
called in to investigate a case where a father deliberately ran over his 14
year old son with a car. The guy was not remorseful at all, either, telling
arriving officers, "I hope I killed the SOB." He didn't, though. The only
thing that kept if off the news was the bigger story from Santa Monica.

Tough raising a 14 year old, though.
