[QUOTE="OTE, post: 6860"] in my humble opinion it's not just neglectful parents, there are a lot of parents in denial.."boys will be boys", "oh I drank beer when I was in HR too", "it's just a phase". Can't tell you how many times this comes up in court, parents who make excuses rather than face the fact that Johnny has a sub abuse problem or whatever problem.
