Parentalfailure tells us more.
This is OP, here to clear a few things up. For the person who asked, it was a male/female couple. He had pulled out a knife on the girl and that set the guy into attack mode or something, since he started punching my son in the face. The girl pushed him down and then the guy pinned him till the cops showed up. Yes, the call came from him asking for bail, which I did NOT post. He has been involved in illegal activities since he was 17, and this was the final straw. His trial starts in about a week (this happened about six months ago) and the prosecution is going for armed robbery. I hate to say it but I hope they get a conviction, he needs a wake up call. For those who posted supportive comments thank you, for those who blamed me, it is probably my fault for how I raised him. Hope this clears some things up. OP

Also, she cannot make him, he is 32 and makes his own decisions, even if it gets his ass kicked. He deserved it.

I'm not sure which one of the two is worse either but I hope the sheer embarrassment has taught him a lesson.
It hopefully will wake him up. get his life flipped. I don't blame parents for this usually.... Very rare that I would suggest parental fault. Especially in this case that he is an adult. Old enough to make sound or stupid decisions.
Punk ass got what he deserved! Lol
Was he expecting to get a lot from two 15 year olds?? He doesn't seem very smart
Why is anyone surprised that the guy got it handed to him? He's 32 and lives with his mom.
Op again. I'm his father, and he lived in an apartment on his own. He moved out when he was 19. My other two children, a daughter whose 25 and another daughter whose 21, dud turn out great. My older daughter owns a small cafe with her husband, and my younger daughter is enrolled in NC state. Maybe we did enable him to some extent, but he usually just shrugged off our punishments.
It's not your fault, something could've happened in your sons life that you don't know about. Just cause he's not the best doesn't mean you weren't the best parent you could be
gotta be proud of your girls :D i hope your son finds the right way soon too !

Kudos to you OP for not bailing him out and giving him a dose of tough love. Sorry to say this but I'm glad he got his ass kicked because what he did is a real scumbag thing to do
Why did he rob them? I'd wonder what he needed the money for..

It's brave of you to admit that it was probably your fault, OP, but I disagree. My grandmother raised 4 children, and 3 out of 4 of them ended up very successful. She was a wonderful mother, but her oldest son had no ambition and had dropped out of high school after having to repeat 8th grade three times. He's been in and out of jail ever since and is in his 40's now. It was your son's own choices that got him where he is today. What i mean is that its not always the parents fault, so don't resort to blaming yourself. :)
They whopped his ass so you didn't have to.
