[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the bad rep of Landon bc I have lived in the area for a number of years and attended another popular boys school in the area.  However, I do not understand how Landon contributed to his crime.  He attended Mater Dei for 8 years and UVA for 4 years.  None of those institutions are being talked about as contributing to his demise.  I do not think they should just like I do not feel Landon should be blamed.  Would GH have had a different attitude heading to UVA if he attended Gonzaga or Prep? It is the lax culture, lack of parenting and alcohol/drugs they lead him down that path.  [/quote]

I keep reading "bad parenting." I get that his dad is an alcoholic, his parents divorced when he was nine, and that GH's life has been one of material advantages. Nonetheless, he had (I'm assuming from what I've read) an attentive, loving mom and nanny. His sisters seems to have turned out well. Was his situation that uniquely "bad?"[/quote]

He spent a lot of time with his father who was nothing more than an entitled teenager himself. That's why lax coaches get a lot of the blame because his father was no help to him, except financially, and they had the opportunity to step into the void.[/quote]

People keep referring to his dad, but he lived with his mom.[/quote]
