Is it tough love or a fair punishment?
Angel Martinez had to give away his bedroom set, television, and clothes after he was caught driving his parent's Range Rover in the family's North Phoenix neighborhood, Fox 10 reports. Angel is only 14 and doesn't have a driver's license, but he decided to take the vehicle for a drive anyways to dry it off after he washed it.
With his parents out of town, Angel's parents could have never found out for the joyride. However, they were called by the cops because Angel was going too fast for a residential area.
The decision to give away Angel's things was made to punish the teen and apologize to the neighbors for disturbing them, his father Ramon Martinez explained.
"We're neighbors as well. He could’ve run someone over. Something really bad could’ve happened," he said.
