In Reply to: I feel very sorry for the kid but posted by Fiona on Friday, 7. October 2011 at 03:47 Bali Time:
station with a 14 year old having been caught with dope (about 10 years ago, granted), I feel for the parents, I feel for the silly kid. I thank God the police station that I sat in was in NSW, Australia and that it scared the crap out of my son so much that I didn't have too much trouble after that one. So a little compassion, a little think back to being 14 and a lot of good supportive thoughts for the family caught up in this nightmare might be more appropriate than some of the "in hindsight" comments. And please don't let your kids wander Bali by themselves.
