it's not easy to be a parent. i know, i've got three grown kids of my own. my youngest, 20, just sent me a pic of the crotch rocket he bought. lovely...

at any rate, i really wish that parents or others who are aware that someone is 'way out there' would do the right thing. parents especially. it's not easy to recognize your child has issues. everyone wants their kids to be normal (whatever that means) and don't want them to be less than perfect. it can be hard to face...but sometimes not facing it leads to worse problems than those that you don't wish to confront, that you hope will just go away. but serious issues don't just go away.
a friend of mine lost her son to a doped out shooter, a son from a broken home. they knew he had issues, and did nothing.
anyone here ever go to a funeral for a 17 year old who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time? he was with a buddy who owed the dope head $30. yeah, that's worth shooting two kids, killing one. he was her baby, and a wonderful kid. full of life, no one was a stranger.
