And you know how the rest goes...

February 25, 2014 (LIVINGSTON, Texas) -- A Texas mother says her son made an honest mistake while packing his school lunch bag, but now that mistake is costing him dearly.


Christi Seale says her 17-year-old son Chaz accidentally confused a beer can for a soda can and packed it in his lunch.


"He was in a hurry, running late. We were talking about school and he put it all together and took off for school," she said.


When he realized his mistake at school, Chaz gave the unopened beer to his teacher. But that teacher then reported it to the principal at Livingston High School, who suspended the boy for three days and then sent him to an alternative school for two months.


Chaz said, "I gave it to the teacher thinking I wouldn't get in trouble, and I got in trouble."

I went to a strict school, but I think they most likely would have laughed it off if I turned it in unopened.

It's sad. When I was a kid, I learned to always be honest, admit your faults, and if you mess up take your lickings.

I'm worried that the best advice for kids these days is to be honest with those you deal with on a regular basis, but do not speak to anyone with the costume of authority, because anything you say will be misconstrued against you and any action can be a potential felony record for the rest of your life..

Solution: abolish public schools.

[Pericles]

Creating libertarians, one f*ck up at a time.

[Danke]

Solution: abolish public schools.

Hey, I'm a product of public schools....Oh, I see your point.

[specsaregood]

Solution: abolish public schools.

Solution: keep the beer in the lunch bag and drink it next time.

Yeah, but the Air Force straightened you out. I shudder to think what would you'd be today had you joined the Navy instead...

[eduardo89]

That's illegal.

[phill4paul]

I believe in zero tolerance. I have zero tolerance for teachers and school administrators.

[Danke]

Yeah, but the Air Force straightened you out. I shudder to think what would you'd be today had you joined the Navy instead...

That's funny.

[specsaregood]

That's illegal.

The lesson that kid learned is: its better to do something illegal and not get caught than to turn yourself in and hope for leniency.

A good lesson.

When I was in my teens my mum always had one rule: Do whatever you want, but if you get caught suffer the punishment for being an idiot and getting caught.

[Dr.3D]

That's illegal.

Only if you get caught.

[James Madison]

Old enough to kill for the state, but too young for a brew? Hopefully he's learned the 'authorities' are never your friends.

Next time, when nobody is looking, just put the beer can in the teacher's desk drawer.

[pcosmar]

That's illegal.

So was the "Four Roses" I drank in high school.

What's your point?

[HOLLYWOOD]

Creating libertarians, one f*ck up at a time.

lol! yep, for those that don't understand, sometimes they do need to be hit in the head with a 2x4 to wake up to government dictatorship.

I imagine somewhat like AF, except without the nice wife and preferring the company of men...

[phill4paul]

A superior pilot?

Underage drinking is a gateway to a life of crime.

[Dr.3D]

Underage drinking is a gateway to a life of crime.

Under what age?

[eduardo89]

Under what age?

Whatever the legal drinking age is in your jurisdiction.

[Dr.3D]

Whatever the legal drinking age is in your jurisdiction.

Sounds arbitrary to me.

Why have a law concerning it instead of just letting the parents decide?

[dannno]

Whatever the legal drinking age is in your jurisdiction.

Sounds like they should lower the legal drinking age to 12, then there would be barely anybody who becomes involved in a life of crime.

[Dr.3D]

Sounds like they should lower the legal drinking age to 12, then there would be barely anybody who becomes involved in a life of crime.

Then if they abolished around 95% of the laws they've made, crime would be almost nonexistent.

He should join up and go fight for freedom.

[Origanalist]

Then if they abolished around 95% of the laws they've made, crime would be almost nonexistent.

That would be almost anarchy.

[Dr.3D]

That would be almost anarchy.

That would be regressing back to freedom.
