let people do whatever they want its their choices not ours,eventually you will get caught one day and its up to the judge to do what he wants with them,this is a world of sin after all and its gonna be like that forever and their old enough to know whats wrong and whats good so let it be.
I’m one of the juveniles that were arrested for this crime and before ya’ll say something in the comments first do ya’ll research and see what happen because ya’ll don’t even know what happen exactly. Because we did’nt touch or take anything we did’nt even step foot in that house so before ya’ll say something know what ya’ll saying and i did my time and i take responsiblity
Have to wonder why these children were not in school…I know when my children attended school if they were not in first period I would get a call…even if I had called the office to inform them they would be out due to illness or just out. Does that program no longer exist?
Also where are the parents? Don’t you make sure your kids get to school ok if at all?? Parents really need to start parenting…Just a sad way for this group to kids to start adulthood.
I’m a parent of one of the young ladies. My daughter chose to leave home because she didn’t like my rules. I have tried to be an active part of her life since she left home but as we all know, kids believe they know best. She is very book smart, had high grades, took many AP classes, and hardly missed a day of school before she moved out. I did make sure she got to school, when I had her living in my house. I’m offended that you think I wasn’t parenting her because I feel as though I tried my hardest. I have 4 younger children who are all great kids. She’s a great kid too, even though she made the wrong choice to hang out with kids who had already been in trouble before. She’s never been in trouble before. I’ve taught every one of my children right from wrong and to look to God for everything, but sadly none of those things has helped my daughter. I have parented her, I have and will continue to love her, and I have been by her side every step of the way when she’s let me. Although she knows the bad choices she has made will affect her for the rest of her life, I cannot in any way force her to change her life. I know all the good things I have given my daughter and they greatly outweigh all the bad that has touched her. So please, before you judge anyone, know who it is that you are talking about.
I’d say this is a perfect situation of a good parent with a rogue child. She is clearly old enough to make her own decisions although she knows right from wrong and now she shall suffer those consequences. Hopefully this will serve as an eye opener for her. It’s always best to hear both sides of the story.
Maybe we need to see why , this kids are leavening school .. Without them knowing their gone .. They do not call you when your child is missing First period .. They call you intill 6:00
These kids DO leave school and parents ARE contacted by teachers – I have personally contacted parents who did NOT answer their cell phone nor did I receive a call back to see why I was calling even when a message was left. At that point tell me what else a teacher should do. Even when a call goes out in the evening about a child missing school/classes, once again the PARENT WAS notified. The ball is then in YOUR ( the Parent’s) court at that point! Teachers, Administrators, and even the School Board is NOT responsible for children who never walked into the school building on any given morning.
I have personally never been contacted by a teacher but I was receiving email alerts throughout the day as she was missing school. I am definitely not blaming the school for my daughter not attending. It was her choice to come and go as she pleased, while not under my roof. The school can only do so much.
Please don’t misunderstand me; I am not pointing blame at you. Your child did not live with you and that is whole other set of circumstances. I am pointing out the fact of children who live under the same roof with their parents and the parents receive a call about the child missing school/classes and nothing is done. This happens time and time again. On a good note – and this is my persoanl experience with my own children – sometimes the things we have to endure, the consequences we bear for our actions, shape us for the better and makes us stronger. Hang in there MOM!!!
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
i am sure that was not their first rodeo…keep digging
Lock them up and throw away the key. Burglary of habitation deserves jail time not a slap on the wrist.
Agreed!!
Im one of the juveniles that was arrested in this and one ya’ll don’t know what happen we did’nt grab ,or break nothing we did’nt even step foot in that house that’s why it was’nt nothing major and the time we was locked up, showed us what its like to do something small that can turn out becoming something big enough to mess up your career in the future so for all ya’ll putting comments about us saying how was should do big time for a mistake and ya’ll saying this is’nt our first time well it is and ya’ll should look at ya’ll kids before you point your finger at someone else kid and i’m for sure one of ya’ll kids did mistake even one of ya’ll did a mistake because everyone does mistake nobody’s perfect so don’t say something that ya’ll did in related to this
