In reply to the discussion: Lauren Boebert's Son Sentenced by Judge [View all]MLF1981
(211 posts)Let me preface this by saying that I don't like his troglodyte mother at all, but at age 19 a lot of people do really stupid shit. I did when I was that age, literally. Back then, there was no deferred adjudication, and the poor decisions that I made and the justly deserved consequences have followed me for my entire life.
A nineteen year old person doesn't have the maturity to weigh the consequences of their actions, because they usually think they know everything, and on top of that, think that they'll live forever. We know now that the frontal lobe doesn't fully develop until around age 25. This has an impact on decision-making, impulse control, and long-term planning abilities. I hope this kid learns a sorely needed lesson from this experience, and gets his head on straight, and figures out that committing crimes isn't a very good idea.
