Responsible Dad Presses Charges Against His Son's Ex-Girlfriend for Vandalizing His Car

A teenager’s breakup turned into a full-blown property dispute, and now his parents are the ones dealing with the fallout.

OP says his 17-year-old son, Bryce, dated their 17-year-old neighbor, Lana, for a year, but the relationship was tense from the start. He and his wife believed Lana was controlling, showed up uninvited, and kept accusing Bryce of cheating, even though it was not true.

After Bryce ended things, the drama did not stop, and the family’s new car ended up at the center of it all. Read on.

Just before the police arrived, he saw Lana laughing hard and showing no signs of remorse for what they did.

OP and his wife believe that Lana should face the consequences of her actions and are refusing to back down. Lana's parents are promising to send her to therapy and buy Bryce a better car if OP accepts the deal.

She can't even admit responsibility for it.

They need Big Ben to wake this family up.

This also echoes the AITA fight where someone refused to lend money to an irresponsible brother-in-law who blew his savings on luxuries.

That is, if you assume that the adult brother is a decent person.

But Lana could have also influenced the brother by feeding him false information about Bryce.

If she can wreck a car easily, this girl will have no problem lying.

No matter what the brother heard, it still does not excuse him for aiding his sister in committing a crime.

It runs in the family (maybe).

Apparently, it comes naturally to the brother, and OP thinks Lana had to do a lot of persuading.

Get a great lawyer and draft thorough terms.

How is Bryce holding up after all of this?

OP and his wife are amazing parents, and we hope they know they are doing a great job.

Seventeen years old is enough to recognize right from wrong.

They finally met their match, and their money is useless in this situation.

If Lana gets a get-out-of-jail-free card in this, she will keep causing damage.

They probably excused their children's behaviors and used their money to get them out of trouble.

She has to know how much damage she caused.

Assuming that this is Bryce's first real relationship, it's one hell of an eye-opener. He will definitely be more cautious with the people he dates in the future.

It's great that Bryce has an amazing support system with his parents. They recognized early on that the relationship was unhealthy and got their son out before Lana caused any long-term emotional damage.
