Please don't take this the wrong way as I do not know David at all. It is not meant to be mean or cruel.

I'm concerned for our youth and their judgment. David's mom said he and Erick were friends. So I'm assuming David knew the character of his friends. David's mom probably had no idea about his friend's character unless she knew he was also friends (if he even was) with Peterson and Barratt.  Their kidnapping charges earlier this year would have alerted her immediately had she known them.

Kids... pick your friends wisely.  These type of friends will never be true friends. You can't put yourselves at risk. It may not cost you your life but there are always consequences for one's choices.  When the right choices are made the consequences are positive and good. When wrong choices are made there is always suffering of some type. Sometimes when it feels like you got away with something, it deceiving. You still have to hide and cover up what you do.

Please make wise choices!
