Just like Polonius feels the need to send someone out to watch his son Laertes, I have an old friend whose dad once tried doing the same for him. This friend of mine (who shall not be named) 
was constantly smoking weed, getting drunk, and participating in other illegal and idiotic activities. It is basically a job to go with him, and to make sure he stays out of trouble. 
He was given the freedom and privilge to do whatever it was he wanted to do, 
but people were asked to watch out for him, just like Polonius does for Leartes. The father of my friend even tried to get one of his son's friends to go to the same college as him to keep an eye on him since he can't. 
Unlike Reynoldo, his friend turns the father down and chooses not to watch after him. 
I just find it kind of funny that I have an old friend that has a dad who does the same thing Polonius did.
