very well put... it only seems that way nowadays but because of technology we hear about more crap, especially when "young people" do it. funny cause the stories i always see are the ones of old washed up hollywood stars running their mouth and whining to the world...what kind of standard does that show?
a parent is a parent and can only do so much, at some point the child needs to grow a brain and know whats right and wrong (responsibilities of the parent)
just 2 cents
Yeah, it's definitely true. With the advent of instant communication, we hear about almost everything everybody does.
Unfortunately news tends to focus on stupid people doing stupid things because it gets the most attention, and that increase viewers, sells papers, etc.
Good role models seem to be few and far between.
While I agree that it's the responsibility of the parent to raise their own children, there are some things that aren't their fault and need help with. For example, disabilities and mental conditions, which I'm sure we will find out that this kid has after a psychiatric evaluation.
I would know as I have a younger brother with a learning disability. It's no one's fault, and we all needed some extra help in figuring out what worked best for him.
