Teenagers often become disproportionately angry with their parents, and its' not unusual for them to say they "hate" a parent over something fairly petty, especially decisions that restrict them in any way. Adolescence is a time when judgment is usually poor and teens often have a very narrow view of the world. Suicidal feelings are common among teens because they see their problems as much bigger than they really are and lack the perspective of being able to envision a different future. In the article, the boy later admitted that his father was a loving parent and said he missed him. What I wondered was, why in the world did this parent leave a gun and ammunition lying on a counter? Basic gun safety requires that weapons be stored safely, and that when minors are present in the household, guns should be kept in locked cabinets. It’s a big jump to speculate about domestic abuse.

]]> Comment on MySpace Rape Arrest by Laurie http://blog.blogblocker.com/2007/08/17/myspace-rape-arrest/comment-page-1/#comment-6959 Laurie Fri, 18 Jan 2008 23:51:41 +0000 http://blog.blogblocker.com/2007/08/17/myspace-rape-arrest/#comment-6959 This posting infuriates me. You do not have all the facts about this and Sean is not a scumbag. He is a stupid 21 year old guy, who made a mistake. Sean obviously should not have had sex with a 14 year old - but he is not a predator. He did not go out trolling for little girls or boys on the internet. Both of them live in the same town and of course there was alcohol involved. He deserves to be punished, but he does not deserve to be called a predator, have his name on the database for the rest of his life, or serve 7 years in prison. Why not public service, or volunteer work, probation, and a year of time in the county jail? This is extreme punishment. Where was the mother and father of that 14 year old when she was out doing guys behind the buildings in Ravena? I have heard she is now pregnant. Obviously, she was a sexualized child, and will continue along this path until she receives treatment. You had better be careful about what you are posting - who are the investigators that said that Sean groomed her? You do not know what you are talking about. I think people can get sued for printing misinformation. This adds to the public hysteria, grabs headlines, and does NO GOOD. We need treatment programs, responsible parents and good useful information. Even with those things, people are still going to be victims/survivors, and some will commit crimes. That is human nature and has happened since time began. We must learn to deal with the aftermath, and try to prevent more of these crimes with education.

This is just the kind of thing Facebook needs. Fluff Friends, how cute! They're also doing things like gift giving and the fun wall. I think these are the kinds of things that will take Facebook far.
