What is the world coming to?

It was pouring down raining yesterday, and I allowed some teenagers to come into my home against my teenagers wishes. These young men were soaked, I gave them dry towels, and food to eat. Attempting to show the kindness and love Jesus taught. They stole my thirteen year old son's iPhone 6s for the second time. He asked why do you feel compelled to help people who continue to take from us?

I said son we must be the light of the world we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. I called the police. They cared but not enough. I can file another insurance claim, he's had the phone less than 3 weeks. There are multiple lessons here. I became more angry like my son as I talked to the police. I wanted to press charges, I wanted to go to each of the parents houses. I watched my son morph into me and he said mom you did the right thing you should have let them in, the garage was not a decent place for them, it was ok to dry them off, feed them, and welcome them into our home. I don't really need a phone, I'm ok.

The police said he was being bullied, and that we were targeted. I'm on a path of enlightenment I send out good, high energies, I'm phenomenal to everyone that I meet, how could this happen to us again?

God, higher power why?

I ask what is this world coming to because two of the young men were in high school, my son just got promoted to 8th grade, they were playing on my son's basketball hoop, and he didn't know them personally but a friend of a friend. Reflecting back on it today, would I do it again, probably, would I be more careful probably so. It happened for a reason, I just haven't gained clarity on it yet. I do know the world is karmic so you get back what you put out.
