Teens accused in plot stay in custody

[this_side_up]

.....

Parents of the teens expressed their frustrations in written statements submitted to the court.

"This whole situation has thrown our family into a major chaotic mess. It's been very hard on us as parents, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles," one parent told the court Wednesday.

The parent spoke of her daughter's intelligence and musical talent and her hopes to join the jazz band this year.

"Now that's been taken away and she will always be known as one of the children involved in this crime," the parent said.

.....

With parents like these 4 sets of parents.....

I wonder how they/their kids will try to twist things so that the fault
lies with everyone and everything else but them.

1. The mom is worried about her kid not getting to be in jazz band?

Damn! What about a little worry over whether she has all her marbles?!

2. Exactly. Not a thought

about what's wrong with the kids. Not a thought about the parents'
parenting skills/abilities and what they did wrong etc.

It's all me me me, my my my, our our our.

And! not one frigging word of concern for the potential victims.
That lack says it all. Because of that, I think these kids are
way beyond help.

The odd thing is, for some reason they have separated the
3 from the 4th. From past articles, it looks like he is severely
warped. But that is not an excuse for the 3.

Elsewhere on the net, I read a post from a female high school teacher. She said she was thoroughly cussed out by 2 different high schoolers
last month. These kids are 17-18.

Why does anyone have to put up with this bs? The school doesn't
back the teachers up? Parents are pissed if their lil' darlin' doesn't
get a good grade?

Obviously the current way of dealing with students doesn't work which scares me = how many more must they kill before the so-called
authority figures take control?
