I do feel for the parents - he was probably bigger than they were! He also probably had a massive hangover. I would love to be a fly on the wall in their house. grin

Yes, I read about that too, Alea (although your link doesn't work!).

The parents seem to have been disproportionately punished for their actions, to say the least...

This actually amused me, did you all read about the British parents arrested for leaving son, 17, behind in a Mallorca hotel?

Well, what do you think?
Do you feel sorry for this abandoned "child" or did you imagine a recalcitrant and sulky Kevin who CBA to get out of bed and go home at the end of the holiday?
I imagined the scene like this,
His parents are bluffing "OK then, we'll go without you then"
"Whatever!"
