Hi Bill:
LOL I had the exact same reaction when I read that about the mother. I
just couldn't believe that the most important thing here was the fact
that the kid wanted soda instead of Kool-Aid. The kid is lucky to be
getting what he is getting, IMO. Besides that I doubt very much that he
is getting dehydrated. If he gets thirsty enough he will drink anything
they give to him. If he doesn't there are always IV's. And I bet the
minute he sees that needle he drinks something. :)
I can see why these kids did what they did when the parents are like
this. There really doesn't seem to be any responsibility being taken,
IMO.
A 14 year old kid knows right from wrong. Anyway most of the ones that
I have delt with do anyway. These kids are usually freshmen, sophomores
in high school. Sure they are still kids, but geeze they aren't
toddlers. I also can't see an 11 year old kid talking a 14 year old into
doing much of anything, unless they want to.
I certainly hope though that other kids seeing these pictures on the
front of magazines don't get the idea that if they do something like
this they will get famous. IMO that was a very bad idea.
