I know of these parents locally. The parents are extremely wealthy, and had an out of control overindulged druggie child they could not handle. He was dumped on his grandmother while his divorced parents were settling in their new Arizona digs. The child insisted on staying behind to graduate with his class. Though the family knew full well he was troubled for years, he could not take "no" for an answer, and the family gave in. The child has been involved in drug charges. His attorney father did not attend proceedings against his son. Great dad huh?
ReplyDeleteDid he threaten Grandma? We'll see. 911 calls made by the child will come out eventually. We will get both sides of the story. Parents need to take responsibility for their children, if they ever want their children to learn responsibility. This isn't about guns, it's about absentee parenting and it's worst. The child should have been in the care of the State. But wealthy parents have the means to dig their kids out of holes again and again until they are 6 feet under.
