wow david…a little on the judgemental side huh? I’m saying my THIRTEEN year old daughter who was living at home at the time and her 2 friends who were staying the night snuck out and took my car for a joyride…Not even close to a criminal act in my mind…Tyler DID do worse..breaking into a public business is ALOT worse, but all we’re saying is he’s not a criminal, just did a dumb thing…for which he SHOULD be punished….and I’m sure he will….but I don’t think he deserves the death penalty folks….jeez…

Carol for a little compassion goes a long way….

or you’re saying taking something without permission which belongs to somene else isn’t really stealing?

David for unconditional love of family.

mic…stephanie may have exaggerated a little..she didn’t “steal” the car…it was kids being stupid and taking it for a joy ride…we’ve all done things we regret when we were teens….yes Tyler took it a little too far, but I can just see him doing something like this on a dare…He was almost killed a couple of years ago on that very same stretch of road when he was hit by a car (you may recall the news story)…was in the ICU with a brain injury and it was a miracle he survived…since the accident, he doesn’t always make the best choices, but he IS a good kid…
The End!

Sorry to blow your theory, Stephanie, but most of us have NOT stolen cars or robbed a fast food restaurant even when we were teens. Stupid describes those people who do. The fact that you think this is normal teen activity shows a problem but its not a problem with the rest of us.

The evidence is clear he was NOT BEING “sweet and giving” when he robbed the restaurant. He was being the opposite. Giving hugs does not preclude being stupid or a possible danger to himself or others.

This is my cousin. He is a very good kid who has just made a bad decision. I stole my Mom’s car and wrecked it when I was 15. This stuff happens when you’re a teen. Certainly anyone who will judge him is not perfect and was a teen once. We love Tyler very much and he is always sweet and giving everyone he sees a hug even though we do not see him very often. This is not a case of him “hitting rock bottom” or “endangering people” in the future. Nor is he going to show up at your house. Because despite these comments he is NOT stupid, but he did make a mistake. As we ALL have.

REGARDING:
“let he who is without sin cast the first stone . keep the faith Tyler. ”

Nobody’s stoning him although his actions imply he may have done so to himself.

And if the faith you want to keep is one which encourages stealing from a foundation dedicated to finding adoptive homes for orphans, yes, you can keep it. No decent person would want it. The Christian faith condemns those who would harm them.

David for decent people
and decent chances for orphans

Ronnie hit the nail on the head, the brain isn’t fully developed until 25. But unfortunately you put a serious brain injury ,which Tyler had on top of this you get a child that makes a poor decision. What he did was stupid but he is a loving, caring young man. Don’t judge until you know all the circumstances. We are praying for Tyler because he does not belong in prison. He does need to be punished but hopefully not prison!

Tyler is stupid for what he did, but that isn’t the type of person he is. I have known him for a pretty long time & never thought he would do something so crazy but you know what…people make mistakes. Tyler is one of the sweetest, funniest people I know & none of you need to judge him for what he did because I’m sure plenty of you have done a lot worse. I’m not defending him saying that he shouldn’t be punished because he even feels that he should be. But people who love him weren’t going to let him sit in a place that they know he doesn’t belong.

Let me help this kid out and give him some advice for future references….. Drink machines never want to take a dollar bill anyway, so your best bet would be loose change, which you could have easily found in the parking lot and you wouldn’t have went to jail for that. But hopefully now you will really learn the value of a dollar!
