Lady are you freakN serious?

So much has been going on with me this week that I can hardly keep up with my own self! I guess its been long daze and short nites, but I ain't complaining, I see myself making progress.
Today I needed to make a run to the Indiana Legal Clinic and took along Leora so she could handle some business too! Well if anyone knows Leora, then you know she likes to be the center of attention and got errr body in that small room hyped up...way up. She started talking about how the guy beat the 3 students down at a local high school. When she asked for my perspective, I simply said that I have only heard what the media has said on the story. Yall know what I mean. Having my limited information, I can only say that many parents are not parenting their kids. I remember back in the daze kids would never talk back or disrespect an adult. I just think that the students played a more pivotal role than I am hearing at this point. This lady who was ear hustling our conversation jumped in and said that the works in the correctional system and meets many people who are belligerent naturally. She told me that parents can be responsible for kids actions, especially if a kid is hard headed. She said parents are just too over worked today. I was like.....WHAT!!! Lady are you freakN serious? This lady was really irate and serious about this topic. She/You may not be responsible for the actions of your former bundle of joy, but you sure as heck are accountable for their actions. I mean think about this. If you own a Pit bull and you train him to be a good dawg, but he goes out and bites the mailman one day. I guess you, the owner, can say "I trained him not to bite people so it ain't my fault". I think not. I never knew of any kid who asked to be born, therefore the parent has a responsibility to the child until he is accountable for his actions according to the law. No one wants to think of their child as a demon seed, but you still gotta inculcate training in that child. Kids can no longer be raised by the village because the village is watched by CPS. Again, this is my opinion and I say that we as parents have to monitor what our kids do on computers, who their friends are and spend quality time with your kids and of course being a role model. That is the best advice, because they will hear what you say, but believe what ever you do! I find it ironic when parents say I don't know why little Jasper turned out that way, not realizing that maybe they had some participation in his development. Stop letting the t.v., teachers and baby sitters do your job and get some motivation...
Ward!
