But I would imagine he was ready to do anything you said.

How would hope he would cooperate that would be very helpful.

But it right next to the guy was a bag and it had your laptop and it had you're in your camera and your video and and all that stuff.

Who eventually you didn't call your son and -- said come on over here he'd just gotten back absolute Afghanistan's Afghanistan -- and the police came but you're not gonna press charges why.

Because he was such a polite young man I mean he was like yes ma'am no ma'am I'm sorry ma'am.

I don't know ma'am why I did is you know how to pay for every.

And he was a year older than my -- is -- and who just got back like you mentioned now from Afghanistan so I really didn't want to erect a young man's life.

And I really wanted to just see him get into a program where he can get some help in every -- during you know I have three -- -- have my own and I am very proud.
