dynesha People You Should Be Paying Homage To: Dynesha Lax

Dynesha Lax of Fort Wayne, Indiana is making headlines across the country after forcing her 14-year-old son to serve mom-ordered community service by holding a cardboard sign proclaiming” I lie, I steal, I sell drug, I don’t follow the law” for two hours on the side of a busy street.

Today’s rebellious seed is tomorrow’s newest member of Odd Future. If you hear “I Smoke, I Drink” in the club tonight pour a little out for Dynesha and continue to hit your jig.

ABC News – “I’ve done therapy with my son. I’ve done positive reinforcement. I’ve done negative reinforcement. I’ve done mommy-and-me days. I’ve even called the police on him,” Lax said. “But everything seems to be taken lightly. Nobody is taking seriously that these are serious offenses.”

She said he has been acting up since a young age and that while none of her responses have worked, she refused to give up. “He’s already lying, stealing, trying to sell drugs. We’ve got three-and-a-half years until I don’t have control anymore,” Lax said. “I’m not going to let the streets have my son.”
