“What’s weird is the kids involved are all honor students etc. from very good families. “
Yeah, right. I really doubt it. Those “honor students” athletes are probably roided freaks who are dumb as a door knobs, but given preferential treatment due to them being athletes.
That being said, what makes you think that their families are “very good”? To raise those screwed up rapists, I would not doubt that the family culture is like that.
junior high was the worst two years of my life
honor students just like trayvon
Please tell us those scumbags got what they deserved...
Good families by what definition? Wealth and status? That doesn’t make good anything. And those ‘’good families’’ certainly failed in giving their kids good (Christian) values.
That you refer to those families as good is in itself a symptom of what is wrong with our societies.
sociopaths.
kids are growing up with no consciences.
The love of most grew cold when the Supreme Court approved baby murder. This has to be a factor in the national subconcious of two generations of young people. The law of the land said that murder for convenience was an acceptable thing, how can they have a sense of moral bounderies?
Ridiculous statement. FB is a communication tool, nothing more, nothing less.
Some of these “good families” are really hollow families.
too soon.... but it is good to find yet another Milkmen fan on Freerepublic!
The issue is without Jesus as your backbone you are nothing but lost. With no moral guidance humanity is animals. There should be alot of jail time for alot of failures here.
Society raises children not parents. We are all to blame. Public Schools, police, parents, neighbors, kids who know by Facebook, twitter, or personally.
The only issue now that we never had before is that Video is easy and broadcasting is rampant.
I did the same thing under peer pressure in junior high school. I was able to become friends with the kid we bullied while in high school. He is one of the few people I keep in touch with from high school after 30 years. It didn't take me long to understand that I need my ass kicked. I was lucky that I discovered a little empathy.
I have two daughters, 15 and 17 years old, they complain about the anti-bullying programs at school. I have to agree with them. They way liberal educators handle this situation is completely wrong. Bullies need a quick punch in the face. In most cases, the problem ends. Of course, I teach my girls to be ladies and they behave as such. They also know they will not be in any trouble with me if they stand up for themselves. They also know they won't get into any trouble by standing up to a bully teacher. The latter seems to be their biggest concern theses days.
Its a very sensitive and dangerous age. Facebook with strangers? Posting nude photos? Hooking up with guys? She knows it isn’t healthy, and she is ashamed of herself and her mistakes - but it is clear there was no one (ie. parents) to help guide her. I wouldn’t be surprised if whatever adult influence there was even pushed her in the wrong direction.
I remember a little girl down the street who was my youngest brothers age . . . her name was . . . . Titsworth, poor kid, I figured she’d wind up getting teased no matter, big or small.
that’s not funny
“Who is running her camera? There is someone holding the camera.”
Definitely, someone is zooming in and out, and she’s tied up holding those cards. I suspect it was one of her parents, who probably believed her when she said it was for a school play (and probably thought it was cute anyway).
Pub Skewls.
OMGosh, I’d be taking some revenge and I’m a MOM. I’d be tempted to put the fear of God in those kids with my .357 and make ‘em dance as I shot at their feet or other parts.
You can zoom in and out during video editing as well.
The web, unfortunately, easily brings the mean streets to the desktop. Parents who let their young kids alone on the web (without a darn good filter) are almost as stupid as if they let their kids go to the bowery alone at night.
My kids are in the mid twenties now but when they were in HS, the computer was in the dining room, monitored at all times and we placed a time limit to be on the computer. I also put a fear of God in our kid; let them know I was computer savvy, albeit
The parents should have got an attorney, threatened the school, the students who beat her up, the guy who led her on, etc.
