Dear Lord this needs to STOP!

Hello ladies am sure you all have read or heard about the young boy who was set on fire, and I am sure someone may have already post something on this particular matter, But  BS like this sickens me!  Not to long ago did we not hear about the boy that was beat to death and now this. My heart  and prayers goes out to these parents or any parent for that matter who has lost  a son/daughter behind some else and there poor judgement.   But my question is what do the parents think and do after they hear about their son/daughter doing something completely horrific to another person?  This effects them as much as the parents whos child was badly hurt or killed, seriously ladies WTF!  What will it or does it take to get mess like this under control?

I know for me I  always use these stories  as an opportunity to teach my kids why we do, do this or don't do that. And always make sure they know where me and there dad stand on such issues.  I hope in doing this it will help them make better choices when and if such events present themselves.

In a perfect world, parents of children like this accept that they were not doing all that should have as a parent. These parents recognize they dropped the ball somewhere along the lines, and they support their child as they should have before they acted out to the extent in which they have. However, since we live in a world where everyone wants to toss the blame and point the finger; that is quite unlikely to happen. What needs to happen in order for acts like this to not be considered "the norm"? I think more parental involvement would be a great start, becoming more active in your childs life, providing them the things in life that they are so blatantly searching. I know that I got myself into a heap of trouble as a teen, but that was because my parental figures didn't care, there was a laxed effort to be a part of my life. The neglect and unmonitored parenting resulted in a juve jail records, early pregnancy, and horrible choice in friends and boyfriends. IMO, it starts at home.
