What complete.....well, I'll not say what I think they are in here.
it must be smoking the pot themselves that have damaged their brains to the point that they'll actually do things like this. Thats why cannabis is so bad. I can't understand why anyone would want to smoke that crap anyway. It stinks vile and people who are on it look and act mentally retarded...well, they are mentally retarded.
Thats pretty sad, they better get the book thrown at them!
Back home 7yr olds were dealing pot on the streets!! I knew one that was dealing coke :eek: That kid knew how to drive too. There wasn't much he couldn't do. Hes now 17 or 18 & is in court for attempted murder :eek:
Its a common thing back home. Everyone is so darn poor, they'll do anything to survive. Its a dog eat dog town :(
I just saw part of the video on T.V....it was really sad. :( I wonder how much of this is going behind closed doors, everywhere.
There is this house up the street from me that has a bijillion foster kids...I can't keep track of the kids that come in and out of there...but one of them, a 5 year old (yes, 5!!) asked me if I had any pot I could sell him. I was like :eek: :eek: NO, and if I did, I would be smarter than to sell it to a 5 year old!! He asked this while riding over on his "big wheel" bike, LOL.
I know sad eh :(Quote:

We(myself & the guys) were PISSED!!! You know what, if an adult wants to smoke a joint whatever, but don't get your bloody children involved!!! & yes it was reported, amung other insane sick, sad things!
areias...did you call family services and report this???? :eek:
The cops are over there every other day...this was probably 2 years ago...the same kid still lives there (wow!) and I see him every now and then. They have a lot of problems-the mom was sleeping with the neighbor behind her husbands back, husband was sleeping with the woman across the street and that woman had a husband...the place isn't very clean, and there are just way too many kids-ages from probably 20 years old down to a 3 year old. All kids of all ages are allowed to go whereever and whenever they want-one of the kids could be at my house with my brother and sister for hours, and the parents have never called or come looking for them. It's a sad situation, but the police are over there constantly and nothing has been done.
This story made my skin crawl when I first heard it :( :mad: These idiots give the word "ignorant" a new meaning.
What I don't know are all the other details of the story. Who got them on film(the clip I saw on CNN) and how did the authorities get the film from them? I've seen only a short clip but I haven't heard the rest of the story. :(
Disgusting and sad also. Those teens belong in a psychiatric faciliy for a long time and when released they should be sent to work in a third world country for at least a year, with strict supervision. They might just come to their senses if they have any. Everything is too lenient with kids today........just my opinion.
:eek: That's disgusting!!! :mad:

I know plenty of normal successful people that indulge every now and then. These people hold steady successful jobs.... they are not out selling it.... and they aren't giving it to kids. You can't blame the pot for these people's actions.... BLAME THE PEOPLE!!!!!! You can raise your kids to KNOW better but you better raise them to CARE also.
There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour and I hope they get what should be coming to them... but if I read the article right and these guys are really 17 abd 16 they will get nothing but a slap on the wrist... after all they are just children right???? under the age of 18 and you can act a fool with no repercussions. Ridiculous. They better get what they deserve and not a slap on the wrist and sent to the corner to thinka bout what they did.
So let me get this right. You said in an earlier post that these kids were foster kids ....yeah ??? And these so called foster parents are letting the kids that have been put under their care, loose out onto the street whilst they are fooling around with their neighbours...yes ???Quote:

I'm not sure I understand the situation there in the USA. I know to be a foster carer here in Australia....boy you get REALLY checked out.

I think the article means the kids are in foster care now; they were with their families but after this has been discovered, they have been placed in foster care.Quote:

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that. My mistake. :)Quote:

I've seen other kids living there every now and then. Two of the children were born to the mother, one of the boys and the 19 year old, the rest are fostered. The boys get into the most trouble, they have been caught stealing from other people's property-been caught in people's houses, on their porches, etc. Cops are there constantly (probably not every other day, but once every week or two), but I've never seen anything happen to them. I *believe* that the oldest boy, the 10 year old, has been somewhere for his delinquency (sp), I'm not sure though. And yes, they do allow the three year old to run around on the streets by herself. :( We do live in a nice neighborhood, with speed bumps and everything, and they are usually at the little park across the street from their house, but anything can happen.Quote:

Lock the bloody lot of them up, and foster the kid out to a loving home !!!!

What's wrong with looking and acting "mentally retarded" anyways? I think I know what you're referring to and I have never seen someones appearance change while they're smoking pot. Crack, meth? Yes.
Besides, blaming it on the pot just gives them another excuse and they don't have to accept the responsibility. It was *them*, *they* were the ones who decided to do what they did.
:eek: :o WOW! True the situation is disturbing, but that commment is by far the most offensive and racist thing I think I've ever seen on this board.Quote:

Call it racist, call it what you will, take offence to it.
I take more offence to those lowlifes, who will probably get away with it.
And so should you !!!!!

After listening to the kids mother, I shudder to think what is really going on in this country every day that we don't see. I think someone already mentioned this. This behavior could be a common practice. I would certainly hope not, of course, but with such complacency, as seen on the mother's part, who knows? My skin is crawling again. Ugh :( :mad: :(
Can't we implement something in this country to prevent some people from having children? Far fetched maybe but necessary. :(
