Though I can't say I know this atty., but something sounded fishy about the whole thing. ?A judge reappointing her atty., him referring Brandi to someone with a different plan of action and seeming little regard for a young teen's life. What client doesn't deserve a thorough explanation of procedures and legal options... especially our young adults. These teens are our future. With proper reform, a guidance counseler, and family counseling, this young woman could have so much to contribute to our society! If their is one good-intentioned attorney taking notice, please help bring this young-lady home. I know that she will find a way to turn her guilt and pain into something positive. Someone give her that chance!

I totally agree with you.  Innocent people do NOT leave the scene of the crime.  This girl wasn't in shock - she was terrified by what she did and she only thought about running and trying to cover  her own butt.  She was so terrified of this boy and his threats that she went out alone in the middle of the night to give him his things.  Her family is delusional and they are totally callous about the boy's families feelings.  All they care about is that their little cheerleader perfect daugther is in jail and that it has tarnished their reputation and their comfortable little lives.  The girl may be incarcerated but she is living and breathing and she will likely be free one day.  There is a future for her.  There is NOTHING for this boy.  NOTHING.

Hi everyone..  

  

I am Stephanie.. and I am 20 years old.. I am a "myspace" user.. and it really bugs me to see these little girls posing as "mature women"..  

  

to those little girls out there.. "being mature" isn't posting half naked pictures of yourself and swearing.. that just shows how immature you actually are.. 

  

and it's not only online that I see this.. more and more these days.. young girls lose their dignity extremely fast.. they want the relationships they aren't ready for, they make the stupid mistakes of thinking that they are controlling every situationt hey are in.. until god forbid, they are hurt/injured from their way of thinking. 

  

why is it that kids nowadays want to grow up soo fast..  

  

I for one.. used to think that way.. but then again.. I wasn't brought up like the rest of my generation.. and so.. I tend to think more like a 40yr. old rather than what I really am..  

  

but really.. teens need to realize that they are still kids.. and they just need to act their age..

You will never find peace within yourself if you dont have forgiveness.  What I dont understand is WHAT WAS DANIEL DOING IN FRONT OF HER CAR? If it was dark, he never should have been there.   I happen to believe her.  The fact that she put a tree thru her windshield more than likely came from fright and sheer terror.  I do not believe she intentionally tried to kill or even harm your son.  Accidents do happen unfortunately and if he ran in front of her car, that was unfortunate.  I can understand you miss your son and my heart bleeds for you, but being hateful will never bring him back.  Brandy will carry this scar for the rest of her life and that will never be easy when she has to explain it to an employer, a husband and her own child. 

  

Please, please, for the sake of all of you, forgive her. You are becoming sick, your daughter will be hate filled and it will scar her for the rest of her life.  I see the horrible bitterness you all bear and how many lives are being ruined.   Hatred will never ever bring your son back. Its all water under the bridge and I am sure Daniel is up in heaven asking you to forgive her and let this go.

First of all, the father seems to be an intelligent, level-headed person. While I agree that Dalmatians are not usually a good fit with very young children, I also think everyone needs 

to understand that ANY dog could have done this. ANY dog, including a Yorkie, Lab, Retriever, ect... The fact that this particular dog is deaf only adds to the possibility of it biting.  

 

The father is not putting his feelings for his dog before his child's safety. What should have occurred is a little research prior to bringing a new baby into the household. It's plain common sense. Why did the mother allow the child to startle the dog? Doesn't she know he's deaf? If you plan to have kids AND dogs, you have to use care and pay attention. And, where's the rest of the story....was the dog sleeping? Was the dog eating? Did he have a bone? I find it REALLY hard to believe that the child was merely walking by and the dog just happened to "attack" her. This dog isn't new to the family; the parents must know the dog's temperament and personality, right? 

 

Unfortunately, dogs, unlike us, do not have the ability to reason. Did the mother expect the dog to look up and weigh his options as to what to do if the baby scared him or woke him? Not only that, it's not like the dog can hear the baby coming! I have 4 dogs: a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, a Doberman and a Boxer. We got the Rottweiler when he was 6 weeks old and my daughter was 2 years old. Oooohhhh...."scary" you say? NO. Never a bite, never an incident. Do you think I watched their every move? YES. The dog is now 6 and my daughter is 8 and they are best friends. BE THE PARENT. It's that simple. 

 

As for Dr. Phil's "solution"...What the heck? Put the dog in a pen? Are you kidding me? First of all, chained and penned dogs are 2.8 times MORE LIKELY to bite or attack than dogs who aren't. So, you think by banishing this dog to the backyard in a small pen is going to make it better? Not to mention the fact that he's deaf and will be more susceptible to being attacked himself. Dogs are pack animals who no longer live in the wild, and they long to be with their human pack. Why should this dog have to be placed in solitary confinement simply because the mother in this case failed to pay attention? Geez...perhaps find the poor dog a new INSIDE home without children. It's just sad that the bond between the father and his dog will be broken because of ignorance. And, I agree, the child shouldn't have been put in the position in the first place.

I am 20 and I have had anxiety attacks since I was 14 years old. I recently had a baby 12-3-04, and from that day on I began suffering from a different type of anxiety. It was harder and stronger and lasted twice as much as before, because of this I became depressed and tried to commit suicide, you will never understand what living everyday of you life with anxiety is like until you have experienced it. I became home bound and diagnosed agoraphobic. I was unable to bond with my daughter I went through medication after medication and lost my job, I had to withdraw from school. I was unable to live a normal life anymore. I seek help all the time, but I do not have insurance so I am unable to afford counseling. 

I don't ask anyone for anything, I don't want a fancy car or a million dollars, I just want to wake up in the morning and just BREATHE like everyone else, and be able to do the things women my age do. Sometimes I feel all alone, but seeing someone suffering with the same thing and hearing Dr. Phil say that it can be help or even eliminated makes me have hope! :)

 Man it is a good thing I am not dr phil. I would have yelled at that guy . How stupid for you to sit here like a titty baby ready to cry to get your wife to let the dog come back home. are you in denial that your daughter was hurt>?? you remind me of when i was 16 . My mom and brother had found out dad molested me . Mom kicked him out for a short time then they both came into my bedroom to beg me to let him come back home . I just turned away from them. They brought the sick demented man back home. So your stupid too just like them. YOu did not see what really happened to your daughter. The dam pain and scars and trama she will endure. I think I am a better person to tell you what to do over this then dr phil. GET RID OF THE DAM DOG. or you will bring even more emotional scars onto your daughter she will hate your guts when she is older and realizes you wanted the dog and not her.  I really hate you already!!
