First off, I’d like to say please don’t believe everything you read on social media, as a lot of it is either exaggerated or completely untrue.
My son has struggled with his behaviour for a while now, and as a parent I’ve tried my best to support him while also teaching him responsibility for his actions. From time to time he has helped out voluntarily at the café to work towards paying off debts caused by damage at home and other situations.
Recently, after being advised not to travel to Scotland due to concerns around the company he was keeping, he chose to go anyway and ended up getting himself into financial difficulty. When I refused to give him money to cover the overdraft, things escalated and unfortunately threats were made towards me and my business.
For clarity, he has not worked at the café for two years as some posts suggest. We have only been open for one year, and he helped casually for a short period clearing tables for a couple of hours a week.
I’m sorry for any confusion or drama caused online. At the end of the day he is still a young lad struggling to make good decisions, and I truly hope he finds the right path in life.
