That one is fascinating for all the reasons state, and then some. My hope is that the camp was an alternate to probation/juvie hall and he was basically a good kid that made a stupid mistake (hacker/cracker maybe?) because the other alternative is that he was a future serial killer able to keep everything inside in public. OK. I just creeped myself out. I really hope it's the first. The only overseen/heard situation that ever bothered me was when we were in Sears and watched/overheard a mother gathering up her children because their aunt(?) had been in a terrible accident and had been life-flighted to the hospital. On the bright side, living in a small town, I later discovered that the woman survived.

Maybe it was a private joke. I used to refer to my sister as "the dumb broad," and she would smile because we both knew it was a joke. She would even refer to herself that way sometimes. Someone who wasn't clued in might have thought I was being heartless to my little sister, but it was a family joke.

Yeah, that'd get an adolescent kid the go wherever the escort wanted him to go. I’m sorry, but when you put in “Escort Service”, all I could think of was the one that Eliot Spitzer called.
