thank you thank you

if the family is not involved in the teens life

they will be running foul

the mother and father should not allow what is happening and take
it to the school and tell them to make the school a place of leaning

and then back the school.

In your claim that Nitpicker got your point, that's not a bragging point, my friend. Nit likes to post just to get a rise out of anyone who will fall for his antics.

I'm addressing your post where you state the REAL problem in Fayette County is Fayette County parents:

Howard - you state "Fayette parents are oblivious" and the example you use to prove your point is music played during timeouts at MHS. But within the next two sentences, you contradict yourself with "I'm not saying hip-hop lyrics played in front of a school audience promote bombs and gangs." Well, which is it and why is that your barometer that we are oblivious? Do you really think the people (meaning students and parents) who recognize the music, with or without the lyrics, still realize which song they're hearing and most likely a great many of them are singing the lyrics whether or not they're being played? I do. I'm one of those parents who can remember the music WE grew up listening to wasn't much different. Yes, it wasn't as graphic, but for the day and time, our parents had a lot of the same objections.

I like how your posts on The Citizen blast: The Citizen, the posters, the school admins, hip-hop lyrics, PTC, golf cart paths, Fayette County parents, and on and on and on. You complain about the very avenue you continue to post your discontent, anger, and opinions on: The Citizen's "taliod blog."

So, how do you propose to help Fayette County parents not be out-of-touch with their kids? You don't offer any ideas or suggestions (just blame), and that you're mad about it and not going to take it anymore. I'll be looking for you to start the wave of change that will forever improve this county and how we parent.

Can you leave the race out of it?

It is because of the "race card" they were let go!! If they had been white they would still be in jail where they belong!!!

Let's face it, their worthless parents failed so far, why turn them back over to their "parents"????

The only reason they were let go is yellow-bellied scotty is afraid of the race card.

Note to the parents: you are carless irresponsible dolts....MOVE!!!!!!

But you just have to love the freedom of the online blog - don't you?

Mr Beale this is an embarrassment to our community. I guess you are mad at the TV station that reported it too?

In Hilton Head they toss parents out of subdivisions if their kid does any vandalism. Which would be a good policy here. Those kind of kids and parents lower the home values for everyone.
It's about time someone reported this crap. I just wish they could have named the parents to embarrass them into being "parents" for a change. This does not happen in every community. This is not the norm, or even normal behavior. The parents here are more irresponsible than the kids.

These kind of crimes have increased here in the last 2-3ys. Most of the time the victims never press charges. Just because some people are too afraid to report this crap, doesn't mean it isn't a crime. It also doesn't mean that it hasn't happened.

The parents and kids that are out of control here are ruining home values for all of us. Most people will not pay top dollar to live in a community that tolerates kids and parents that are felons. That is what we have here. No, not all of them, but more kids are involved than most of you want to admit.

These people are the ones who blame the school, the police, and everyone else they can hang it on but the kids themselves. That's why they have the gumption to do this bombing to begin with .... no consequences. And now .... It's the schools fault! Sad .... very sad.

Thanks for the hint on Hilton Head---kid hater territory!
Old fogies.
I think that is illegal.

and there is a difference. They don't hate kids they hate crime and careless idiot parents.

It isn't illegal. Eagles Landing also has covenants for their subdivision, against anyone with kids out of control. First the parents are fined and warned, then they have to leave. One family had to leave before their home sold.

Kids that are out of control lower property values, that is basically stealing money from other people in your community.

Actually they are not all "old fogies" some are 30's-40's yuppies who like nice things, and they don't want those nice things destroyed by brats!!

Have a nice night.

Boo-hoo!

You should be glad SOMEONE is bothering to warn parents 'bout this stuff, cause the all-is-rosy school system sure ain't!

What's so "sensational" about an innocent person (the mail carrier) being injured anyway?

Bigger problem here is if bullying isn't addressed we'll get another Columbine. Think bout it people!!!

Go back and read what I got from the Police - the alleged 'bullying' was addressed the day it was reported.

A better question is: Why are they already out of RYDC? OR, who will they bomb next, where and why?

"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

You said "It took the assistant principle that was in charge of investigating this incident, 3 days to talk to the witness. When I asked why it took so long she said she was busy"

I think we can figure out who she is if you tell us what school. Female administrators are at every school but usually only one plus the Principal. If 'she' didn't take it seriously, you should call the county office and et them know!

Do you really think that the police would do more?

They would question your son and you more than anyone! What about that vicious dog?

Aggravating poor old Grandmas over abandoned kids is sinful anyway.
Cops should have found the "daddy."

I don't think the police would do much besides talk to the bullies and the grandmother. It would let the guardian and the children know that a file was made about them, and perhaps warn the bullies off picking on the child in case further incidents happen, and perhaps child services would intervene.
Also what good would finding 'Daddy' be? Perhaps he is incarcerated? Or the worst the father is deceased, and the guardian is stuck raising the children and they have gone wild because of the situation.
I believe this person took the correct first step in notifying the school especially if the bullying also occurred in school. While notifying the school, also let the administration know that next occurrence would lead to a report filed with the police. For most people having police come to the home would be embarrassing. If nothing else, the humiliation would do it.

As always, there are two sides to every story. Police et.al. have to hear both sides before making a determination. Sometimes a warning is enough, sometimes, no matter what you do, a person can violate orders and hurt someone. Women deal with this quite often in bad relationships.

The student here actually did NOT notify the school but the parents did on the day their son bombed the alleged 'bully's' house.
