| What is eveyones opinion on this story? I have seen some comments on FB so I was curious to see what everyone thought on here. http://www.news.com.au/national/get-me-out-of-her-bali-boy-pleads/story-e6frfkvr-1226161672405I personally hope he is released soon. He made a stupid mistake buying the drugs but he does not deserve a lengthy jail sentence in a foreign country for such a small amount of pot. I bet my daughter when she was 14 would have done exactly the same thing if it was offered to her over there. She would not of thought of the consequences just herself and having fun! | |

| Honestly, a 14 year old should know what they are buying and should have been told not to from parents. I can't see him being released over there and i can see him doing jail time. They think he was set up by balinese informants (i think thats right) so hopefully he gets a fair trial there. | |

| My 14 year old did not always listen to me. I certainly told my kids drugs were wrong as did my parents but it did not stop me at a young age or my daughter from dabbling in drugs. We all make stupid mistakes no matter how hard our parents try to stop us. | |

| I agree with Sue on this one. This child, and let's remember he is still a child, made an impulsive decision that will impact hugely on his life. He will never be the same and you can guarantee he'll never go near drugs again. Teenagers do not think of consequences and to compare him to traffickers is ridiculous! Any parent of teenagers can tell you that maturity isn't automatic with age and you can talk til your blue in the face but they will still go their own way. I really hope that he's released but I don't know if it's likely. | |

| He has access to fb still and his own cell. I hope he gets home for a trial considering he was set up over there. | |
