Love your kids

Hot case in court at the moment. 

19 year old girl, extremely intoxicated, crashed her car killing 2 boys. She pleads not guilty to manslaughter. She denies she was driving her car.

Seriously. Who the fuck was driving, the third gunman on the grassy knoll? Come on defense, try another one. The other passenger who survived testified she was driving, not to mention the numerous witnesses.

My two sene. Plead guilty and do the time. Stop prolonging it for these poor boys' families. Even if she goes free, it will be on her conscience forever. She owes it to their memory to tell the truth. 

A lesson here. Take better care of your kids. Just because you're rich, doesn't mean you let your kids drive your car to go out and get drunk with their friends. Not to be judgemental (too late) but the girl's parents are ultimately responsible for the fuck up their daughter is in. If they put the necessary controls in place, none of this would have happened. What is to become of our children, if we allow them to do whatever the hell they want? Show them your love by being responsible parents.

What's worse is the girl shows no remorse.

The whole thing is so heartbreakingly sad. For all the families concerned. I remember the day I heard about it - and thinking how easily that could have been MY son. A drunk passenger killed in the accident. OR the drunk driver of the car. We raise our children the best we can, but ultimately, we cant shelter them from everything and they will make their choices - many of them stupid ones. We can counsel, guide and pray (and cry) but they will walk their own paths.

Agree Lani, the kids will make many stupid choices, I can speak from experience of the many stupid things I did in my youth. I just don't like that parents are practically equipping their children with ammunition to make these mistakes - giving them their own car, too much money, and freedom. That's where things go wrong.

Making them is one thing. Owning up and facing the consequences of our actions is another. If she didn't do it, fine. But if she did, stop lying - if not for her own conscience and peace of mind, then for the boys who died and their grieving families. Amene.
