A neighbor came over to tell the owners child to put an end to the party. The home owners son and several of his jock friends severely beat the neighbor. As I said in a previous post, I grew up in a town a lot like Glen Ridge. When children are given everything with nothing expected in return they begin to think the world owes them. The result is every thing is taken for granted.
Nothing is appreciated.
Wrecking a house is seen as no big deal. They can get it fixed or buy a new one. Everyone's comments have been so eloquent and passionate. Having no children myself, let me give my opinions on this. First, many parents are reluctant to say no when they think that other parents are saying yes.
