Will the parents please GROW UP?

The New York Times Magazine has a chilling article about the virus writers underground. In a number of cases, its bored teenagers who are writing these and their parents know they are doing it but instead of tossing the computer if necessary they whine "we don't support him doing that".

Would these parents please grow up and be PARENTS to their kids? If they don't the State may eventually send the tikes to jail for their hobbies. The parents choice.
