Bloodless Justice: The Son I Saved Tried to Destroy Me

Summary

My son has a sense of justice so sharp, it could cut you.

When Mrs. Gable, our neighbor, dropped a curse word in the neighborhood Facebook group, my son reported her to her employer the next day. She lost the commendation for excellence she was up for.

When a kid from the third floor tossed a paper airplane out his window, my son delivered him to the police station three days later, complete with security footage. The boy’s parents were fined, and he got a stern lecture.

I tried to rein him in, my anger simmering just beneath the surface, but he’d just jut out his chin and argue back.
