Are you saying his son was going to potentially kill some people? And the parent prevented his son's reckless behavior? Talk about doing the sometimes UNpleasant work of parenting... Now that takes real guts. |
Shhh! It's a big secret. Play along and see how long people can be hushed-up. |
| It's not a hush thing, but it isn't vigilante justice, either. |
When you notify authorities that your son may be planning to commit mass murder, that's "parenting"? How about that. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-islamic-state-supporter-in-massachusetts-planned-attack-on-college/2015/07/13/50b5bc76-2989-11e5-bd33-395c05608059_story.html |
No, I am saying he abandoned his son at 7 and the kid ended up joining ISIS. |
I hope you told the police what you know at least . You owe it to the parents of the deceased kids. |
When you notify authorities that your son may be planning to party (drink) and drive, that's responsible parenting. How about that? |
The cops went to the house the night of the accident. That is common knowledge. |
No. It may be responsible citizening, but it's not responsible parenting, unless you define "parenting" as "anything a person does who is a parent". |
Let's come back to earth for a minute and play this out- you call police dispatch and manage to speak to someone to tell them that your child may be planning to drink and drive. You can't confirm that this will be the case, you can't confirm if they are currently intoxicated, etc. You can maybe suggest the routes they would drive on, which by the way- the police already are well aware of the busiest spots for drunk driving accidents and/or party spots for kids if talking about going out toward the woods or something. They can do check points- which they DO ALREADY. That's it. There is nothing that the authorities can do with your odd call. Does that mean we do nothing? Nope, not at all. But this is a silly solution. |
| One of the survivors was seen at a beer party last weekend. He learned a lot. |
I can't even believe this. How would his parents handle this? |
Apparently not since the police have practically been BEGGING for more information. But, keep your head in the sand to protect yourself if that makes you feel better. You know, with two dead kids and all. |
I feel terrible for all of the kids and families and friends, but I don't get why they are not being more forthcoming with information. I have to imagine that it would be part of the defense for the driver to provide the name of the host as well as who supplied the alcohol in a situation like this. I also have to imagine that the parents that lost their kids would want the blame to reach out past the driver. |

Outrageous how big money can buy innocence. No one's going to jail. |
