A good home, his mother calls it, with two working parents who believed in the value of education and the power of after-school activitiesWhen the cat's are away the mice will play.

I realize it is hard to know everything a teenager is up to, but how the hell does a 6 or 8 year old become STEEPED in anything without their parents knowledge?

A good home, his mother calls it, with two working parents who believed in the value of education and the power of after-school activities to keep kids from hunting down trouble. Their belief that you could delegate raising your children to the government and a bunch of hired hands appears to have worked out like it usually has. Maybe this two income thing Really does have a cost not measured in money. Imagine.

They are both working and when they get home they arent paying attention.
I would bet this kid had a lousy record for turning in his homework from school, That should have been their first tip-off. I would bet he stayed out late in the evenings, they were probably glad because he wasnt bothering them.
There is no way they didnt have some idea what was going on. thy didnt care enough to find out.

The parents watched this behavior over eight years and did not stop it and did not remove the child from that environment. I feel very little sympathy for them today.
And an officer is dead.
I have very little sympathy for the parents of the killer.

One of my best friends in black, we've discussed the "black culture" thing quite often. Alot of black parents aren't all that alarmed by the thug look/behavior, I think they don't know where the play acting ends and the real deal kicks in. Where I live there are alot of very wealthy black families, very well educated and their kids still look like they should be living in the ghetto. My friend does not allow her kids to speak or behave anything close to ghetto. Actually if you put her kids along side some the same age they'd look like geeks. I also don't understand how you could lose control of an 11 yr. old, where is the father? Lord have mercy, I'd jerk a knot in my kids tail so fast he wouldn't know what hit 'em.

...believed in the value of education and the power of after-school activities...
Maybe if they had believed more in the power of good parenting.

Just another example of the parents not giving a damn about their children. A few swats of my father's belt not only got my attention, it taught me that my actions weren't acceptable to him at that time and that I best change or there would be hell to pay. This father didn't care enough to show his son the way, and he is a P.O.S. for that. How is he going to tell the widow and her children how "sorry this happened?". He should have known it was going to happen and should have taken action beforehand to prevent it from happening.
