Spray Painted Cars Graffiti
What sort of bad things do parents worry about their children doing?
I'm writing a novel about a troubled teen and I'm trying to come up with more things for him to do.
He has already participated in underage drinking, gotten in a lot of fights, driven recklessly, spray painted graffiti on a bridge, shoplifted some music, and exposed himself in public.
Next he's going to key someone's car and spraypaint it.
What other bad things would he do that would make his parents worry?
here is some information on conduct disorder:
Conduct disorder is a complicated group of behavioral and emotional problems in children and adolescents.
Those with this disorder have great difficulty following rules and behaving in a socially acceptable way. They are often viewed by other children, adults and social agencies as "bad" or delinquent, rather than mentally ill.
Children or adolescents with conduct disorder may exhibit aggression to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitful, lying, stealing, and serious violation of rules.
Aggression to people and animals
bullies, threatens or intimidates others

forces someone into sexual activity
Destruction of Property
deliberately engages in firesetting with the intention to cause damage
deliberately destroys other's property
Deceitfulness, lying, or stealing

steals items without confronting a victim (e.g. shoplifting, but without breaking and entering)
Serious violations of rules

Children with conduct disorder may also experience:

Higher rates of injuries, school expulsions, and problems with the law

Racist Graffiti Spray Painted On Flower Mound Car, from CBS 11 News
What would be the charge?
Anna R., a 20-year-old woman, is very angry at her boyfriend for breaking up with her and dating another person. In the middle of the night, she goes over to his house, spray paints his white house with red graffiti and breaks the headlights of his car.
Hey guys this is just a scenario. I didn't actually commit these crimes. Although I probably would do something of the sort if some guy did that to me. No doubt.
1) Vandalism
2) Destruction of private property (headlights)
3) Petty trespass Act
4) Criminal Trespass
Unfortunately you can't be charged with stupidity as that would only give the prosecutor more fodder for the fire.
She can expect an order of probation, restitution in the amount that will cover the lights, and the repainting of the house, and maybe even lost wages for time he misses because of the case and court dates.
She can also expect a TRO / no contact order imposed by the courts, and also an order by the court to attend and complete an anger management class.
And seeing she is over 18 she'll get charged as an adult.
