Today, I got a call from the police. Apparently my son tried robbing a teenage couple, but wound up getting his ass beat by both of them. I don't know what's worse, that my 32-year-old son is a criminal, or that he got it handed to him by 15-year-olds. FML

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

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. :)

If I was the mother of one of the teens, I'd be a proud momma.

Perhaps I think you should be more concerned by the fact that your son if a thief. If this was his first offense, it'll happen again if he doesn't get a proper lesson. He totally deserved to get his ass kicked. It's not your fault though, OP.

Totally not your fault, OP. At 32 he should probably know better. At least IMO :) Anyway, props to the 15-year-olds.

What a loser, maybe he'll think twice next time. Sucks for you though OP, if he hasn't learned right from wrong now he probably never will.

You don't know what's worse? No wonder he turned out a criminal.
