The Des Moines Register carried a story about a bad party that occurred at a house left to be tended by a high school student. The boy who has LD, was left at home for a weekend by his parents. Other youths apparently took advantage of the situation. There are reports of drug use and sexual assault.
Pam Glazebrook said her 18-year-old son is responsible; she said he usually follows his parents’ strict rules, hasn’t needed to be grounded this year, and works 20 to 30 hours a week.
“It never would’ve occurred to us not to trust him,” Glazebrook said in an interview.
She bristled at Cook’s comment that her son is a special-education student, saying he has a slight learning disability connected to short-term memory loss.
“But quite honestly, he’s a sheep, not a leader. He’s a very popular kid, but he tends to follow,” she said. “Things got way out of his control.”
