Here' what we went thru whne kids " found"our crop....
Caught em inside greenhouse, green handed no where to run. Scared the shit out of them. I have contacted a friend who knows the parents of these kids. Turns out there was 3 involved, 2 brothers, are the sons of the minister. The wheel man took off was the ringleader has cleaned barns here in the past and musta have found out. Another friend of mine is also a minster. He is involved with youngsters, and is respected and trusted by the local kids He works with. He is also a recovering alcoholic, used to puff and grow 20 years ago, does not judge, force religion, is mj tolerant and really understands kids. The 2 caught are slightly older than I thought.
My minister friend grilled them about why they did this, they said they wanted to make hash from the leaves thinking any leaves would work. Their parents are totally anti mj, very religious and concretive, will really be upset with all this.
Were thinking the punishment will be worse than the crime. Their older brother a few years back was caught with a pipe and was sent off to military school and is miserable, he hates his parents and is also confiding in my friend about the family situation. So were thinking of not telling the parents. Instead were thinking about a video taped confession of what they did and why they did it, who's involved, and if they ever get into any more trouble we will play for the parents and turn them into the cops and they will be in deep shit. They are begging us not to turn them into cops. We also can put them to work at my friends youth program to pay for what they have done.
I just think the punishment the parents dole out would be too severe and if we handle this they will behave knowing were holding this tape and if they fuck up again they will be turned into both the cops and parents.
My mother turned me in for pot, did no good only made things worse, made me hate her.
I really think and hope my minister friend can work this out so the kids can learn something and just maybe they will gain respect for us by not turning them in and getting a second chance knowing they better be good till 18 years old or else..
My friend says these are great kids. So the parents will really be shocked if they found out and would totally overreact. Will think this over and decide what to do but I just think giving them probation without their parents over reaction would do far more good for both them and us.
Who knows what the parents could say, see mmj causes crime, they would all know I grow, and in a small town word spreads thats why I did not call cops, no doubt would have made paper, dont need that. They will be punished no doubt, my minister friend will see to that with some hard labor and tough love...
