@bbk : This young man should not be punished for the mistakes that his father made, but, sadly, it happens. Because of your Daughter and your Granddaughter, this young man has been given a chance that he likely would not have gotten otherwise. May many blessings be bestowed upon you and your family. Wishing many more blessings for this young man as well. Your Daughter and your Granddaughter speak to all of us through their actions.

@nikkiole : Hey, girl! Hope you are feeling better! I don't think I had your name in anything because I would tag you. I will go back and look but don't remember mentioning you in anything.
I see what you were referring but no bad thoughts on you just that he sees so much more than we ever could.

@Advocate4 : Thank you for the kind words & I will tell them .

@nikkiole : I did nothing of a sort but if you feel strong about then please put me in your ignore list.

@bbk : Have you ever thought about mentoring? There are lots of kids who lack good adult guidance who would really benefit from a good mentor. Not sure of actual agencies in this area but Big Brothers, Big Sisters is a good one. You could also check with Humble ISD.

@Richblackman : lol. Why bring race into it? They are grown men. Stop making excuses.

@BusyMommy : What are you talking about? Are you mistaking me with someone else or just failing to read thoroughly. I looked through the entire thread and I don't see that ANYONE brought up race. Please double check and let me know which comment I brought up race. Also please tell me what excuses I am making. If you read my comments you will see that I only disagreed with calling these human beings "trash". If you dont mind me asking, do you call people who break the law "trash"?

@p : Thanks for your thoughts & in a small way there are people on this site that mentor others every day . Some of us older folks can share with younger parents & we do . If you are on here for awhile you will see that you might disagree with 10 things about someone on here but you find 1 thing in common with that person & you forget all about the other 10 things . You take the bad with the good on here . We have put a huge amount of time into our children & their children . We are very frank with them & them with us . They have listened to our guidance & then made their choices after listening to our thoughts . We believe it takes a village to raise a kid . When our grandson was going to go & get his first job his parents & us independent of each other made a list of questions & got together & interviewed him . As he answered we gave pointers on small changes on some of his answers .We tried to think of every possible thing that might be asked of him . There are always lots of kids trying to get jobs so we felt it important to prepare him as best we could .He got the job at the pizza place !!!! We were all happy ! At the moment I have lots of health issues I'm going to have to deal with .So helping mentor others is not on my list at the moment .
