The next door neighbour of the relatives had been away in Vancouver’

with his family, and the trio decided to access his house and do a little dam-

Entering through a window, the three boys proceeded to drink some
beverages from the fridge and help themselves to some food, including

‘The boys also. decided to go through the house, doing about $150 dam-
age. P
Among their activities while inside the house, the boys tumed up the
heat on a waterbed and helped themselves to some Atari video games...
“You have embarrassed yourselves and your family," Judge Sperry told
the boys before ordering them to each pay $75'to the victim as restitution,

<“Thope it is money that you eam, not money given to you by your fathers,”

The judge also ordered the boys to tum around and look at their fathers,
both of whom were in the courthouse. Judge Sperry told them to look at the
disappointment in the father's eyes and remember that look. L

Te was the first incident with the law that either boy had experienced,
