3. Moral of story, don't have devices that tell you what your kids are doing

The woman lost plausible deniability.
She probably wanted the app thinking it would help her monitor his driving.
But 16 year old boys are sometimes, to put a fine point on it, insane.
It’s all her fault, because she was the mother who paid attention but failed to stop the budding Violent Man, the entitled asshole whose personality until just 4 years prior had probably been sweet and willing to listen to his mama.

A scary force of nature. If he had shot his mother or run her over with the car, she would rightly be seen as a victim.

Parenting testosterone-and-culture-driven teen boys takes an army.
Wonder what the dad was doing?
