“I’m trying to make sure my son stays out of trouble. But he just turned 14, and there’s only so much I can control when I’m not around him. I was coming home from work the other day, and he was getting home from school at the same time, and I saw his group of friends try to grab a lady’s purse. I ran across the street, grabbed them, gave the lady back her purse, and said: ‘I’m sorry. These boys used to be my son’s friends. And I’m calling all of their fathers.’ It embarrassed him. But I told him: ‘If I hadn’t done what I did, you’d be in jail.’”
