You don’t know how old “the kid” is. If he were 18, the parent is not accountable. She did not “allow” her son to assault anyone. There are parents who try to bring up their kids in a good way, and try to stop their kid from doing bad things, but it doesn’t always work. The mother is only responding out of grief, the same way as any good mother would.
From the video, the “kid” was sixteen.
“There are parents who try to bring up their kids in a good way, and try to stop their kid from doing bad things, but it doesn’t always work.”
In this case, a parent. Statistics demonstrate that single mothers are far more likely to produce criminal offspring. She has two children with names different from her own. I doubt it was because she was married twice.
This indicates failing, twice, on her part, even before parenting is involved.
Statistics are, again, that even as a single parent, she made no great effort to raise her thug in a good way, instead seeking more gratification for herself and neglecting her children.
Right now she is experiencing remorse on what she could have done, perhaps on his last day or two, to make her robber son not get shot while robbing. Sorry, too late.
She had at least a dozen years to show him the right way to live. She apparently had other things to do.
If she was so sincere and good-hearted, she would have been apologizing for her son’s evil, not making excuses for it.
The kid was 16. Already on probation for aggravated assault. His entire rap sheet was posted by some nice man on the RIP Julius Johnson facebook page. The little thug needed to die.
