Reply to comment by harlojones in TIFU by letting my parents pawn my silver by [deleted]

Again, they lied about needing money for the mortgage. There's no indication about it being in jeopardy at all, they just wanted easy money to spend.

Nobody pawns things when things are 100% okay. Do you really have such a ridiculous thought process that you think they’re fine financially and just wanted to pawn their son/fathers silver collection to get some McDonald’s and cigarettes? Things are most likely not ideal.

Ok, but even if things ARE truly that desperate, that's the parents' responsibility to manage, not a 16 year old kid. If they didn't want to further endanger their finances they shouldn't have committed a crime, which is what they've done. If anyone has a ridiculous thought process here, it's you thinking that anyone but the parents are at fault here.

Tha fuck are you talking about, obviously the financial situation the parents fault and their burden to bare, that doesn’t change the fact that this child has a decision to make, report his parents to the police and deal with whatever mountain of ramifications come with that, or wait it out two years until he can move out and not implode his life and cause further hardship.
