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.

Make sure your health/accident insurance is paid. |

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. |

How tall was the tower? Sounds like me and my friends at 13. I would patiently, but firmly explain the concept of private property, trespass and mortality. Then take the phone for a week.

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.

When Clear Channel's tower was climbed, everything had to be shut down because of the radiation (so it's not much of an exaggeration). ...but not to seem insensitive, Im curious to see the photo. |

It’s becoming a fad, kind of like streaking. Just waiting on the Ray Stevens song.

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.

Or maybe not for awhile yet. It’s still kind of frowned on in parts of Tulsa. |

I have always thought that looked like the Lightning electro rods in Dr Frankenstein Laboratory.

If Josef Hardt (RIP) could have made that into a giant Jacobs Ladder, he would have. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fo2_jcSOX4 [/youtube] Now about the photo this kid posted... |
