[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 149547, member: 3626"] I do think the worst thing that could have happened did -- he got way too much attention of a positive nature for his actions. What kid doesn't want to be on television. Better yet, on TV and the reporter is asking HIM questions!!! grrrrrr He's 7. He really has no clue as to the consequences of his actions. Personally, I know that I did things at 7 that were "bad" and thought they were downright fun. Given today's media, few 7 YOs understand the concept that dead is dead. They think you die, get up and go on to the next scene. At 17, I drank and rode as a passenger with kids who were drunk. At 18, I experimented with drugs. They were all fun at the time. No way would I do them now. There is no question this grandmother needs help right now. Somehow, she has to guide him to want to do the right thing and that isn't easy in today's world. I hope she succeeds. At least the idea is to get him help the only way it seems to be possible today -- with court intervention. I also hope and pray she doesn't need this board in the future. We may give a lot of support but we're here because of a lot of pain. [/QUOTE]
