In reply to comment: I tend to see it this way (see in situ)

he seemed more concerned that the boy was p***ing him off

than anything. I feel like asking, "don't you care that your son's soul is lost--that something you've done or not done as a parent has led him to this path? Stop being so concerned about your pride, and build a relationship. In the teen years, it's too late to think that a mere 'teaching a lesson' is going to do any good"
