DAY+81+Moral+Reasoning

Just after Leon arrived at an institution for boys, he tried to escape. As a result, he was given extra time. It took Leon nearly 4 months to earn the trust of the staff again. He now thinks it is stupid to try to escape. However, Bob, a friend of Leon’s, tells Leon he is planning to escape that night. “I’ve got it all figured out,” Bob says. “I’ll hit the youth leader on the head with a pipe and take his keys.” Bob asks Leon to come along. Leon tries to talk Bob out of it, but Bob won’t listen.
