So how long are you out on parole?

Trendy if you want to work as a : server in a restaurant (and only some restaurants), work as a mower on a landscapers crew, work as a bartender (and only at some
places), own your own business and your business does not involve much interaction with the public, work construction (but only some types of positions),
work as a pastor (of your independant church), work as a rock star, work for a rock star etc, etc, etc

Face tatoos are heavily linked to prison culture (same as finger tatoos.) and thus still limit employment.

Or in this kid's case where he never even needs to work. I am sure he has never even given a thought to getting a job.

I'm the pp who said it was trendy. Pop stars are increasingly getting tattoos in the same place as this Gerber kid. Post Malone and Dominic Fike come to mind. Post Malone is far from prison culture. He was a UMC kid in a UMC suburb when he rose to fame. You people clearly do not pay much attention to trends as they emerge. Face it (ha): the face tattoo is the new neck tattoo. Edgy but not shocking.

Post Malone has offered a simpler explanation to reporters for his face tattoos: anything to upset my mom.

You cannot force a kid to go to college. All these moms of toddlers and elementary schoolers (and I bet some of the posters here don't even have kids or their kids are adults) are on here pontificating about how these parents must be "bad". Are you kidding me?

Just wait until your kid hits his/her teens you'll hopefully have more of a reality check about how much control that you have over a rebellious child's actions.

Ok grandpa/grandma. Do your grown children even speak to you anymore? Mentally ill children/young adults have mental health problems and they self-medicate with drugs.

You sound like you're on your second six-pack yourself.

He’s all ready for prison now. What a waste of genetics. What is wrong with Cindy and Rande? Their kids - now adults - grew up privileged and are now a hot mess. One tries to look and sound like a street gangster, the other is vacant and anorexic. I just don’t get it.

I disagree with the bolded statements. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the parents or the upbringing.

So … you think he was BORN this way? Highly doubtful. I have worked for years with troubled and high risk kids. In the argument of nature versus nurture, I have yet to see a troubled or high risk child where the problem stemmed from nature. Certainly some of this young man's nature is exerting its influence but his parents had a responsibility to see and respond to this child's specific needs, and they failed in a very obvious way as he is demonstrating.

+1

These situations are easier to understand if you take "parenting" and view it as a separate skill set that people either have or don't have, whether or not the parents are kind/productive/whatever in other aspects of their lives.

Do you guys also blame parents when their kids commit suicide? Maybe you should spend some time with the many parents who spend years desperately trying to find hell for their kids’ mental heath issue. Therapy, medication, love, discipline, boundaries.....sometimes all of that only mitigates the problem, not cure it. I don’t know what’s going on with this kid or his parents.

Suicide is a separate issue. And sometimes, yes, it is a result of parenting or lack there of. Not every parent of a suicide victim was doing everything you listed to help their child.

+1 I am the "BORN" poster. I agree with the poster above. I will go further to say that in my work I have never seen a child BORN predisposed to commit suicide, this includes children who are depressed or suffer from depression.

PP, do you even have kids? Depression is a biological condition. There absolutely a genetic component to it. You sound like an arrogant, sanctimonious jerk.

I also know multiple families where 3 out of 4 children are well-balanced, successful college graduates, and one of the four is a hot mess. Sometimes it is just luck of the draw.

My kids are adults. My daughter has multiple tattoos, has a great job and a great life and is a great daughter. My son has no tattoos. They are both in their 40s. Their dad had one stupid tattoo that he got when he was 18 in the Navy over in Japan and very drunk, he always regretted it and told them that. I have no tattoos. I do not view my daughter's tattoos and any reflection on me or her upbringing whatsoever. She is her own person, has always been strong and independent and stubborn and creative and awesome.

And whoever on this forum thinks calling someone "grandma" is an insult is in for a rude awakening at some point in their lives (if they are lucky enough to actually be a grandma, that is) so maybe give it a rest.

Your DH should have removed his tattoo. It’s so easy now.

Clinical depression is not solely a biological thing at all. It is a psycho-social-biological thing. It is very multifaceted.

I have exactly zero tattoos and am at a complete loss about how this Gerber kid gets a tiny face tattoo and now DCUM is convinced he is a drug addict, depressed, suicidal, quitting his modeling career, and proof that Cindy Crawford is a craven woman who pushed her children into modeling when they allegedly don't want to do it. Seriously all I see is a young Hollywood type trying to get noticed with some edgy fashion. You people are totally insane. No, this kid could not get a job in DC with that. But he does not live here and literally works in fashion, where women shave their heads just to be different.
