Dear Bullamanka-Pinheads,
I hear you!
My cousin Linda's son Jared is also 17 and also in some
trouble with the law.
He was arrested July 4 for public urination.
He says he was trying to put out a grass fire that started
when some other kids dropped sparklers on the ground.
Linda is at her wit's end.
Very truly yours,
Philip McPherson
Toledo, Ohio
