I don't respect that.

Things like that stand out as red flags to me. When a kid is messed up, the first thing I will do is look at the parents so it doesn't sit right when their port of call is to demonstrate that they did their job when dealing with the demise of their son.

I'm left with the impression that their image is and was always more important than what their son was going through.
Good point

People from good homes go bad everyday due to outside influences

Exactly.

You have some kids growing up and looking at their parents, you know that child doesn't stand a chance.

And then you see parents that give all their children the tools and foundation to be a productive member of society and they still go off the rails. It seems like the latter in this case.

Once you lose your child to the streets, they're gone forever. There's only so much you can do as a parent.

How can you not respect it?

Would u rather them lie to others and themselves?

How can you get closure when your telling / writing a lie to yourself ?

Dude had people who cared about him enough to try to steer him away from such bad influences, some parents will point the finger with one hand but also accept money from their street son with the other....


His parents can sleep easy from them just accepting their son got "derailed "from the life they tried to give him

Why ask questions when the answer was in my post.

I don't respect it because a fukked up youth is an instant red flag for bad parenting. Lo and behold, they're showing signs of people who are more concerned about preserving their reputation... something that contributes to youths being rebellious.

Is it difficult to hold a funeral and then wait until after the dust settles to use his story for the sake of charity.

What they're doing now comes across as grandstanding. There's a reason you don't see their actions often and it is not because people lack their integrity. It is because people care enough about their youth to feel distraught.

Parents will never stop loving their child even if the child disgraces the family. Also loving your child does not mean to enable disgraceful behavior. Granted their are multiple sides to every story but on the surface this seems like a family who tried their best, saw there was nothing they could do and disengaged for the safety of the rest of the family and simply hopes the universe had mercy on the kids soul. Unfortunately the universe doesnt care about feelings.

Dude in here is right. Now I don't know the family but alot of parents think just raising their kids in the church is enough. Alot of these families ignore alot of their own flaws that may have contributed to their kid going down that path. On top of that, did they every try moving OUTSIDE of the hood? Seems like they themselves were stuck on staying in the new Orleans area even after the hurricane.

Me and my siblings are the perfect example of that. My closest sibling in age went to jail in high school, got out bullshytted and is now homeless. I’m the complete opposite in every way. We grew up in the same household under the same rules. He was a follower, I wasn’t.

All youts who become involved in dodgy shyt isnt a result of bad parenting.

Kids spend as much time at school with their friends as much as they spend time at home awake with their parents IF not more! , THATS One influences you cant put a " lid" on.

Why wait when u can tell it how it is?

U dont know what the parents did to help their derailed son.

In fact, the fact that his obituary is now singled out from others( your normal," he was such an angel") tells u the actual message the parents are trying to put across is working..

I always look at the parents in regards to basic principles however you can only do so much, especially in an oppressive society where both parents have to work just to make ends meet. I dont respect the grandstanding but I cant say they are bad parents either. the outside influence is too strong today, not like when I came up. tv was different, no social media, etc...as a father of three I know it has to tear them apart inside if they are feeling they did just about everything they could to deter him from the wrong path yet he took it anyway.

And kids who weren't raised properly have parents who claim they provided good homes every day.
True as well. At first glance they seem like pretty solid folks from the way the put thought into his obituary. Another thing. Youll notice thst i said people instead of kids in my post. That because we don't know when he stepped into that lifestyle and he died as a 22 year old man. Most parents don't have any control of their children once theyve become grown adults. People gonna do what they want to do.

I respect it, maybe they tried to intervene but their son made his choice. It's rarely the right one as we've seen
