Bored Youths: We were going to have a baby Jesus burning party

Now, someone tell me that Satan had no hand in this.

SAYREVILLE, N.J. -- Four teens stole 27 baby Jesus statues from nativity scenes outside churches and homes and planned to burn them, police said.

Of course, one parent said:

Although Chris is sometimes misguided, this was not something we expected out of him.

And another:

Michael has been hanging around with the wrong people. He goes to college. He's an outstanding young kid.

Don't get me wrong. Bringing up kids isn't easy and you can't watch them every minute. And it's true, "Kids will be kids." But when kids are stealing other peoples property with a goal to it's destruction because they're "bored," one really does have to wonder where the parents are.
