But after watching this on our local news and reading about it,we have question.......
You really need to read this before reading any further with our post.We want to make sure you know all the details.....
Have you read it?
Shall we proceed?
What kind of parent raises a child to think it's just "goofing around" to stick a hockey stick up another boy's ass?
Pranks and teasing? Call me naive,but doesn't this go out side of the boundaries of pranks and teasing?I don't know,but I wouldn't call that teasing.Isn't it teasing,when you call someone a name,or make fun of their mother?Isn't a prank,tripping someone as they walk down the aisle?Stuffing them in a locker?Stealing their lunch?
I guess we're really out of touch,if sticking a broom stick and a hockey stick up another students ass is considered teasing,or just a silly middle school kinda prank. Silly me.I guess I really am out of touch with this generation.
I'm starting to think I may be have been a bad parent,because I would have kicked my kids' collective asses if I even thought that thought had crossed their minds.And if they had done something like that,I would not be writing this right now,as I would be serving a life sentence for their murder. Not that I would've murderd them.I just would've beaten them senseless.
What amazes me is that one of these "angel's" pastor wrote on his behalf what a good person he is.What kind of church preaches that?And what kind of pastor are you,if you are so out of touch with your congregation that you are not aware that this kid admitted he did it,but it was just "goofing off" ?
Sorry,but I ain't attending that church anytime soon.
And I really love this statement:
"Latoya Williams of Tampa wrote May 12 that she has known Price-Murray for more than 10 years and that he is respectful and an excellent student.
"I am fully confident that Raymond would never hurt anyone intentional or unintentionally, he has always exhibited a care and concern for other's personal well being, while offering assistance to anyone who needs his help," Williams wrote."
Yep-she really knew him well.....
Call me opinionated and a bitch and whatever comes to mind,but my kids don't need that kind of concern,or assistance.
I still want to ask the parents of these boys,and any other child that was aware of this,
"What did you teach your children.?"
Did you teach them that this was acceptable behavior?Or did you not teach them anything?
Did you turn it over to Sesame Street,Mr.Rogers(may he rest in peace),or Barney?
Or whoever was rapper of the day?Just because it was the easy way out.
Because you had worked all day,and were too tired to raise your child?
Our grandchildren.
Make Love,Not War was our motto.
Oh yeah---
this will be the generation that's gonna take care of us in the old folk's home.....
And don't you forget it.........
Kinda scarey,isn't it?
And don't you forget it.........
Kinda scarey,isn't it?
Just sayin'......................

Your last sentences were pretty scary but quite realistic. I am hoping for a better world, but seems quite difficult
In most cases I find that the parents are worse than these children and that is why they don't recognize the behavior. Be glad you are out of touch because oit would make you sick what they allow and let kids get away with. As for the character references I say bend over let him stick a hockey stick up your ass and then tell me how respectful you still think he is. what a nice guy. amen
Queen-my sentiments exactly! Thank you.
Extremely frightening. It was sexual assault, no way around that. These kids have a serious problem. To get in a physical fight with punches thrown is one thing, but these kids are sexual preditors. Hey! I am of your generation!
OK, I have to agree with every opinion you had.
I bet he's the one who's parents kept telling him, " If you don't get your room cleaned up, I'm going to stick this broom stick up your ass"!
Ya think that's a safe bet?
There is an entire generation of parents out there who are condoning this sort of behavior. They make excuses for it. My darling son (I say that sarcasticly) recently got into trouble. I let him stay the night at a friend's house, and I thought they were supervised. No, they were out running around town from 2-5:30am stealing out of unlocked cars. Long story short, they were able to return the items and not go to jail. My son went with an apology and hasn't got to do a damn thing sense and will not for quite some time. There isn't a day that goes by that we aren't talking about it. The other boys? One kid wouldn't go with my son...his mama said he couldn't have done it (although he had the stuff), she gave us the stuff and my son went alone. I see the other six boys still out riding their bikes unsupervised without a care. My son is the only one being taught a lesson and suffering for it. So does that mean 1/7th of them is rehabilitated and the rest with repeat offend? Not good odds. I am sure those young men have pulled lots of crap and their parents make excuses or looked the other way because "they are such good boys". If they get away with something little it will only grow to something big.
