 Quote From: dma5977 Yes, what the two girls did on MySpace sucks..but to sue the families TWO YEARS later!!?? That is not right either..I'd like to know what damages they could possibly sue for. Crystal was the victim, she would have gotten all the sympathy, which she deserves, don't get me wrong..but obviously, the threats the 2 girls made were not carried out.They have paid..They are now very likely the subjects of the same kind of crap they pulled on the other girl.So, why do their FAMILIES have to pay MONEY ?? For what??
How many of us with kids can say we know /knew EVERYTHING they are doing. I had normal kids, who somtimes screwed up. NOt pefect ones,like the ones you all apparently have. I think parents like to think they have raosed perfect children and give themselves pats on the back..Well folks, think again, because there is no perfect. The only differences is in HOW we screwed our kids up.
Sometimes, the things they did and said completely shocked me. They are all now grown, college educated, good jobs..not perfect,just like I am not..and they will mess up raising their kids,too.
I was the victim of MUCH gossip as a teenager.My family was so very openly dysfunctional and my mother did stuff that caused the whole little town we lived in to TALK AND TALK.I rose above it..or It made me cry..It also made me stronger. My life was threatened ,verbally..Those girls were dealt with..and we actually became friends.. WTF is the other mother thnking she is teaching her daughter about monetary gain..Yuck.. You ask why should the parents of these girls be sued? The answer is that they are minors and their parents are by law responsible for what they do.
I raised three kids of my own, 1 boy and 2 girls, and I made it my business to know what they were up to all the time. Also, I taught them from the time they were tiny that certain things are simply not acceptable! Kindness to others was among the lessons they learned early. Compassion, empathy, consequences for unacceptable behavior, and spirituality were others.
No, they weren't perfect...but I never saw them do anything to anyone that was mean-spirited..and, to this day, with families of their own now, they are the sweetest, kindest, most caring people you would ever want to meet and they teach their children the same values.
It starts when they are little.....if you are too lazy to teach values to your kids then, then don't whine when they do stupid stuff later on. They are not born knowing the rules of society! |
