AMEN TO THAT !!!!!!

yes but he cut his own life short that was my whole point.

It is a sad situation, but the sadness started long before this boy took his life. Where were the parents in this situation. I live in Utah, and its only been a month since we had that tragic scene of a young teenage boy who walked into a mall and shot several people, at random. Killing 5 and wounding several others. When they went to talk to the family, they said that they didn't know what he was doing. They didn't even know that he had purchased a gun. They didn't even know he had a relationship with a girl in Texas on the internet.

When the police went into his room, there was ammo boxes all over the place. Receipts for the guns, sitting on this night stand. Images of horrible things on this computer. All sitting in plain site. His parents said he was very quiet, and that they never went in his room.

WHAT!!!!??? Please. These kids are SCREAMING out for attention that they aren't getting from somewhere else, and I have to say, it's not from home. These parents should have to face and answer a lot of questions for this. When you don't pay attention to your children, talk to them, check on them, love them, what do we expect. If your not being a parent to your children, who will be?

I think we need to start paying attention to our children and less on our jobs, careers, houses, cars, bosses, clothes, shoes, and whatever we feel needs more attention than our children.

Yes, it's true that there are too many young children dying and killing today. Why? There is a 100 reason's we could come up with. We can blame parents, we can blame the government, we can blame society. We don't have families with two parents in the house and if we do then both have to work. There is no-one home for these kids anymore. this lets the kids do as they please. If we would stick our nose into things that matter and not into things that don't and not involve the police or government every-time something is done that you don't like, maybe we would be-able to go back to the way life was..like neighbors helping neighbors. If your child is doing something wrong and your neighbor says something...use it, don't hold a grudge and start bickering back and forth and having a full out war. Our children are not so innocent. And for all you parents that your child does no wrong..think again. I am a stay at home mom, i do go through my oldest son's room, and he knows it. I won't read notes or letters though if they are in in his room, only if they are left out for me to see. But dong all this and being a stay at home mom, he is no angel. We need to stay on top of these kids. Some of you may remember my latest blog and yes i asked for help because i was at my end with him, but i did not stop there. I kept going until I (think) got somewhere. and i won't stop there if this does not work. Everyone just needs to work together help each other out. Save these children.

This is a sad story all around. You have a deceased 19 yr old kid hanging in drug houses, he has a criminal background and .45 caliber gun. He shot himself.Yes it is sad but how many people would he have shot in the next 5 yrs if he were still alive. Obviously being arrested and in trouble all those other times didn't change him or his way of life. Instead he took the easy way out. I feel for anyone who loses their child but I'm sorry I cannot feel for those who kill themselves or to the parents who could have stopped it from ever going to that point. Come on...ammo boxes and receipts and bad things all over his room?? What kind of parent (especially with kids already in trouble multiple times)does not snoop or look around their kids room??One's that didn't care to begin with. Now..only when they think and threaten a lawsuit do they care. In some cases there is foul play with cops and it seems to grow in staggering amounts lately but I do not believe this was one of them.If these parents actually file a lawsuit and win anything I hope with every dollar they spend they remember it was blood money for their son in which they didn't even care enough to pay attention to or love...they gave him a room..in a house..never to care enough to be involved with their already troubled teen. JOCKOJOHNSON the reaon why they are probably showing a picture of him from the third grade is because they probably didn't even care about him to even take a recent photo.And it is being made out on the news to be a "race" issue not by us..did you see all the people caring on on the t.v.??It's not ab

Lawsuit! How dare those people! This is what is wrong the youth of America. Mommy and Daddy are more worried about sueing than actually taking responsibility. There are a lot of people who do not feel that they have to be held accountable for their actions. Wake up America the kids need a good spanking!!!

Klockone, no disrespect, but unless you plan on locking your daughter up (like we all should)then you can't really say your daughter will never have the freedom that you and i had growing up. You know that if it was our parents that were strict we had friends that had parents who didn't care or were not home late at night, we would just stay the night at their house. I was brought up with the strictest of parents, but I found a way to find trouble growing up. That is why i thought the same as you, and my kids were not going to get nothing past me. Hah...that turned out to be wrong with my oldest. But now he has lost my trust and he has found out the hard way how hard things will be around here. we can't keep our kids away from doing something wrong. What we can do is stop it as soon as we see something is wrong. And that is the bottom line here in this blog...so many parents look the other way. Why? who knows. Maybe like said in some other blogs they want to be their friend first parent last or they themselves don't care or they are afraid of what will happen to them if they do try to discipline, whatever the case may be I hope some day everyone wakes up and starts doing the right thing.

None taken. I simply don't take any unnecessary chances. Like it or not,we can't protect our kids from THE WORLD. At some point,we must let go. Survivormom...I agree with you. As for me, it's not about being strict. One thing that I can promise...you won't ever see me crying and sobbing on FOX 8,because my daughter was abducted from my back yard. Unless a criminal wants to snatch both she and I,he or she won't have an easy time carrying out their intentions. When some sicko is cruising around town looking for the next victim,they will not find my daughter easy prey. If the fact that she isn't allowed to play outside without supervision or go to to a classmates home without me having met the other parents first, makes me strict...so be it.

Yeah...go figure!

you know i didnt want to commet on this issue but seeings how everyone else is i will.. the kid was 19 the police shot him in the leg yes but hello a 9mm to a 45 caliber? he killed himself.. and yes i do beleave if the officers wouldnt of shot him first hed still be alive... and whats with the kid in the car how do we know he didnt kill him? how do we know it was a suicide? we dont! so all im saying is i have two girls of my own and if a police officer shot my baby i would do the same as any parent would... so lets stop all the talk about this poor kid and let him rest in peace!
