Mom, Destini Ghee
Sometimes you can escape the long reach of the law, but not Mom.
WXYZ reports that Destini Ghee turned her 13-year-old son in to authorities after she saw videos on her phone of him and a 12-year-old stealing work trucks from Elowsky Lawn Services in Waterford on Sunday. Both have been arrested.
She says he’s been in trouble before, but never to this extent.
"I’m hoping that him knowing this could have cost him his life, and could potentially cost him his freedom—his whole childhood," she said.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard commended her for turning in her son.
Authorities said the boys stole three Chevy Silverados, two with trailers attached, valued at $90,000. The trucks have been recovered. The 12-year-old has stolen cars before.
