You are speaking rather strangely.
May I say that I have been in exactly the same position as those two boys from Oklahoma. I am speaking from bitter personal experience. Those lads will never forget living in fear for their lives and never forget their terrifying helplessness. I remember what happened to me very well, and am sixty years old.
Whatever your personal opinion is, it is unimportant in comparison.
My parents were totally oblivious to the whole affair. Intelligent people, and very, very stupid. A common malady.
My parents were great, kind, strong, loving parents.
And look at how a big jerk I came out! :-)
Sixty years old and still blaming your parents.......sheesh, get over yourself already.
