An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Quote from: "jjjj"

Aaron was a rich kid. He wasn't involved with the crips(!?!) Stop talking about 1994 in the midwest like it's 1939 Poland.

simple google search says this is not the case.

The crips rolled him in the parking lot of his school..

yeah but getting attacked in a parking lot isn't the same as being down with the crips. i'm sorry. i read the book. aaron's parents were wealthy.  They live in a well to do area. Who knows if whoever attacked him was really in the crips, or were poseurs? Porgram parents tend to exagerate things. Kids exagerate things. either way, that hardly makes aaron a gangbanger, intent on crime. whoever you supposedly get attacked by in a parking lot you are the same as now? I'm not juding these parents in the sense that I'm saying they are evil, but they are inadequate peopel with boundary issues because they were having their kid, kidnapped without anything that could begin to justify that sort of reaction (nothing justifies it, but if someone is a full out heroin addict at least it's understandable) They seem to be just  mentally ill, abusive people, --not "bad," but they are caught up in a altered reality of their kid's badness and respond to that badness, in a way that is abusive.
