JACK OSBOURNE: TYING A MILLSTONE AROUND A CHILD'S NECK



It really is sad. Some may think it laughable; but it's not. It's not merely another piece of news either-not just something to chatter about at morning coffee break. It's sad. It's tragic. Is it criminal?

Doesn't Jesus say something about adults pulling children under thereby being responsible at the judgment? He said that if one trips up a child it would a millstone hung around that person's neck as payment for spoiling one of the children.

But what about adults slinging millstones around kids' necks? Same judgment on the adults, right?

As far as I can see it, Oz and Sharon have hung Jack with a large rock around his neck. The entertainment world calls their family just that-entertainment. But a family is not meant to be here on this earth for others' entertainment. It is here to ground itself on the Word of God, live for God and then answer to God at the judgment for what was done in this temporary span called "earthly sojourn."

Yet Oz and family have so twisted their divine purpose for existence that not only have mother and father paid dearly with their debauched lifestyle-laced incessantly with cursing to the nth-but now Jack, the son, has admitted himself into rehab. Why? Lots of problems, one of them being alcohol and other drugs.

California, naturally. And the family stands alongside the son. The father is most pleased that the son had sense enough to get help. Blah blah blah and more airhead stuff for the media to suck up in the name of parental compassion.

Of course, the whole playout was from crazyville. But now that the teen boy is slung around the head with a millstone, that's not funny. In fact, should it not be found somewhere in the category of criminal? Is there not some kind of abuse that has been going on here for some time?

According to the daughter who refused from the outset to play the loose hanging family drama, the family never used swear words prior to the TV time frame. They were taught to be English proper, nice, mannerly, and abiding by rules of the house. Interesting.

So she has opted to keep clear of the nuthouse household on screen. No doubt her independent move will keep her sane and perhaps give her perspective to continue into adulthood with some balance regarding values and the like. Time will tell, off course.

But to think that Jack has wallowed in the daily camera fondling of his every move. To think that certain scenes were even manufactured to make the family appear even loonier than it is. To think that mother and father set their children up for profanity, gross displays of whatevers, and so on and so on. To think that TV watchers stroked all this with laughter. To think that all of this has been marketed in the name of "family" is beyond moral and rational limits.

However, our world has become so jaded that the Osbounre crazy den has become simply another hangout for the bored and curious. For that, Jack is paying the price. And others in the household have also.

Doesn't this sound adult tilted coming from 17-year-old Jack: "I voluntarily checked myself into a detox facility for my own health and well-being"?

"I got caught up in my new lifestyle and got carried away with drugs and alcohol," he explained to PEOPLE mag.

Then this comforting shot from Papa: "It takes a lot of courage and strength to admit you need help, and both Sharon and I are proud Jack is facing his problems head-on." Yuck village, Pa.

Yet it is Mama Sharon who states she takes blame for the falldown of the family. This will be the last run, she claims. But she claimed that before in an interview with Barbara Walters. Again, time will tell.

"This is definitely the last year," Sharon stated. "We can't do it anymore."

In other words, Osbournes, stop ruining yourselves. Jesus would be proud?
