He got into bad company on the internet and he was persuaded to commit "death by cop" ie go out and get himself shot by a policeman.
He's not a bad lad, he's friendly and polite but he is autistic and it's very noticeable. He's very impressionable and easily lead. I am not sure where on a scale he'd be put but he needs a lot of support and has additional support needs.
Anyway, all he had to commit death by cop was his dad's air gun, (and it was totally obvious it was an air gun) and the Shetland police force.
Being autistic he got in a right state ran off with somoene's boat and ended up in Scalloway with the airgun and went on a bit of a commando style yomp through the hills and ended up in Lerwick, in "Nob Hill" where the posh folk live, and by this time was very upset and in his heightened state pointed the gun at folk in their back gardens. The police got called , then they called an armed response unit from Inverness in a flippin' helicopter when all it needed was for someone to call a carer to come and calm him down.
Anyway they sent him straight to the young offenders institute, where he's been ever since, and likely to stay for 3 years. Not the place for an autistic lad who had a bit of a crisis with his condition. Sending the disabled to prison stinks. He's not likely to do it again, he's no danger, he's just a vulnerable young kid.
