Thank you...did not mean to sound mean to you; it's just that I'm fed up with FReeper "pie-in-the-sky" attitude about what is ideal parenting. Since you raised teens, you can appreciate the anguish we go through. The girls in question on this thread, according to the story, were both raped and severly traumatised. I know their parents are going through a lot and my heart goes out to them...I also know that parents can set curfews for teens but that doesn't mean that they won't be broken. What's a parent to do? Handcuff them to a closet in their room on Friday and Saturday night? I took away driving privileges, I forbade groady-looking friends entry to my home, I even had to sic MY former German Shepherd (who was mean and who I still grieve for) on the door when a "boyfriend" showed up with body piercings, green hair and condoms sticking out of his shirt pocket. Still, I went through the ordeal of missing beer from the fridge, heathen devil weed residue in car ashtrays and 2 a.m. worrying when both of my girls were on Cinderella time!
I can hear some of the libs right now. Those awful cops killed a man for engaging in what was obviously a lifestyle choice!
Just watch. I'm cynical enough to believe that the widow will sue.
