Crap You Just Can't Make Up: Webcam Kid Update

No....there is just some stuff you can't make up......What a hoot.  The webcam kid Blake Robbins from Lower Merion School District who started the maelstrom of Main Line media feeding frenzy (national too) apparently spends sooo much time popping Mike and Ikes that he did not get his car registered?  For real?

I am sure his parents will call a press conference and his not so hot mama will be front and center with her latest collection of tight peek-a-boo keyhole tops. Come on - you don't remember her in all her kewpie doll shiny glycolic peel face and peeky boo top glory?

I mean who the hell lets their kid  drive a car that is unregistered???  What kind of example does that set? Isn't Penn Valley the land of Good and Plenty?  Can't afford a registration after the settlement?  All they got for their efforts was a case of Mike and Ikes? Didn't they say last year when this case settled that some of the money was so Blake could get a car? (Again, some sh*t you can't make up, so see bottom of post for that reference.)

Oy vey.

Lower Merion webcam victim accused of driving unregistered vehicle

A Lower Merion student who alleged that Harriton High School officials used a webcam to spy on him, then made the charges stick in court, has been cited for vehicle-code violations in Lower Merion.

Blake J. Robbins, 17, of the 400 block of Hidden River Road, Penn Valley, was cited Nov. 26 by Lower Merion police officer Stephen M. Salera for driving an unregistered vehicle and displaying a license plate on the wrong vehicle.

Robbins and his parents, Michael and Holly, could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Court records show traffic citations were filed Nov. 30 at Magisterial District Judge Kathleen M. Valentine's court in Ardmore.

The records indicate that court officials were waiting for Robbins, a juvenile, to enter a plea. Both are summary offenses, which means that Robbins could plead guilty and pay a fine, or request a hearing at the District Court level, said Michael J. McGrath, Lower Merion's Superintendent of Police.

McGrath said he couldn't comment on the specifics of the case because Robbins is a juvenile.

Tuesday didn't feel all that different, Blake Robbins said......But Tuesday wasn't typical.

About 3 p.m., Robbins and his parents signed papers to settle their headline-getting claim that the Lower Merion School District used a laptop webcam to spy on him in their Penn Valley home......The deal will pay Robbins $175,000, most placed in trust until he turns 18. He'll get a slice - $25,000 - that he said he would spend on "some nice used car."
