Mom arms gay son with stun gun to fight bullies

5/7/2012

Chelisa Grimes was clearly frustrated when she armed her gay son with a stun gun to fight off bullies and says she'd do it again. "I do not promote violence," says Grimes, who was fed up with kids harassing her son, Darnell "Dynasty" Young, for his flamboyant fashion sense. "But what is a parent to do when she has done everything that she felt she was supposed to do?" The principal says he had asked 17-year-old Darnell to "tone down" his accessories: "If you wear female apparel, then kids are kids and they're going to say whatever it is that they want to say." Now Darnell faces possible expulsion, while his alleged tormenters have yet to be positively identified.
