Addicts before they are born? BULL
This PC hogwash will not help addicts. Addicts have to first try the drugs and have the type of personality that wants to committ a crime. Yes, some are kids and kids make dumb choices. And some of those kids get addicted. But that has NOTHING to do with birth.
We are all born beautiful, innocent slates and Gift's from God. What we do with our bodies may have something to do with our childhood years (lousy parenting, low self esteem, being a thrill seeker, etc), but that doesn't excuse the individual of his poor CHOICE.
I worked with drug addicts. I worked with abused children. Neither problem started at birth. And going to "happy hour' doesn't make one an addict. I drink ONE drink yearly and it's at a Happy Hour. I go to a sports pub with my family every Friday night, but I make the CHOICE to drink Diet Coke.
Families must be disected ("criticized") in order for other to learn from their mistakes. No family is perfect, but some help set their children up for addiction. Brandon's family make HUGE mistakes...giving him everything, allowing him to "run" as he wished and then enabling his drug habit once they knew he had it. They needed to be exposed. Now they will perhaps work on fixing themselves so they can help Brandon once he is released. God bless them all, but stop trying to make Brandon and his family VICTIMS; that won't allow them to see that they are capable of beating this addcition!
