Jared Marcum's mother, Tanya Lardieri, was overcome with emotion after signing a dismissal order and cementing the fact that the criminal charges against her 14-year-old son, Jared Marcum, have been withdrawn.

"It should have come sooner but it's done and we don't have to have that concern anymore about him having a criminal record" Jared's father Allen Lardieri tells WOWK. "I'm just glad that it's over. His mother is glad it's over."

Jared's attorney Ben White calls this a win for common sense. White says he's heard too many stories of children being penalized for seemingly harmless behavior, just because each of these incidents included gun imagery of one sort or another.
