Title: 13 yr old boy climbs tower.. Post by: ARGUS on August 06, 2014, 11:02:18 am WWYD? What would you do IF your 13 yr old climbed a local TV tower and posted a pic from up on high of Brookside on Instagram?
Good kid did this alone and offered to show his mom how he did it; "just exploring" was his explanation. Title: Re: 13 yr old boy climbs tower..

Good kid did this alone and offered to show his mom how he did it; "just exploring" was his explanation. I'd prob smile myself since I had no idea I had a 13 year old son. I'd prob ask him to think about the consequences, what they'd mean to the ones who love him and ask him to refrain from doing something like that again. I did worse things when I was 13.

I would patiently, but firmly explain the concept of private property, trespass and mortality. Then take the phone for a week.

Title: Re: 13 yr old boy climbs tower.. Post by: ARGUS on August 06, 2014, 12:17:24 pm I told my friend (who's son climbed the tower) that he could get in trouble and blamed for ALL if ANY vandalism on said tower,possibly get burned or radiated (ok I exaggerated on this one),arrested for being a terrorist, etc.

Title: Re: 13 yr old boy climbs tower.. Post by: Conan71 on August 06, 2014, 03:32:11 pm It’s becoming a fad, kind of like streaking. Just waiting on the Ray Stevens song.
Title: Re: 13 yr old boy climbs tower.. Post by: sgrizzle on August 06, 2014, 07:56:39 pm I'd wonder how my child that is too young to drive a car is out climbing brookside.
I'd also wonder how my child is going to graduate high school while being locked in a closet for the next 5 years. Title: Re: 13 yr old boy climbs tower..

It’s still kind of frowned on in parts of Tulsa. Title: Re: 13 yr old boy climbs tower.. Post by: BKDotCom on August 06, 2014, 10:50:45 pm How tall was the tower? Sounds like me and my friends at 13.

Post by: sauerkraut on August 09, 2014, 02:35:47 pm That tower looks like the tower Tesla built long ago. Anyhow I guess the reason no one did anything is if they saw a person on the tower they would of figured it was a work man up there. That tower by the Library on Harvard & 32nd had workmen climbing around the top of it last year, it may have been college kids pulling a prank for all anyone knows.
