[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a bummer to hear about Wooton. NP here and we love neighborhoods that just happen to feed into Wooton. But we are not cut throat at all and prob a more average academically. Does this mean we are screwed when our kids go to Wooton?[/quote]

No, of course not.   But be an active parent.   Care about who their friends are.   What those friends' parents do, too.   Do they actively parent?  Or do they sit back and do nothing as long as grades are good?   There is a ton of money here, and with the money comes easy drugs.

My neighbor left many weekends a month and the house was a party house.   That teen got busted for selling drugs.   Woke the whole damned neighborhood with a 5am police raid with like 10 cop cars.    Soon after, the parents bought that kid a brand new car.    In many families, there are no consequences and no incentive to try to do the right thing.

In my street of 25 houses or so, I know three teens who have been arrested.  Two for dealing drugs and one for burglary.   One girl and two boys.   And one of those hit with a drug bust was also questioned about burglary about a year later.    I don't know how that compares to other neighborhoods in the county.

And this kind of behavior is everywhere at Wootton.  This incident was a tragedy.   But the types of activities that led up to it happen every weekend here.
