Read your facebook posting by the mother of the accused who was with Kristen. Sounds like a mother bear protecting her cubs.
I'm sure we all feel for the family, but the fact of not taking responsibility for his actions says a lot about the family environment. In fact it probability confirms John's need for more intervention at the family level by AMI.
As in any stressful situation, she should have waited to post her thoughts. We all can feel for the family, but where was her supervision of a 16 year old out at 1:00 am in the morning three nights in a row, or his affiliation with a known criminal. She needs to take responsibility for her's and his actions. This was not a teenage prank; people were hurt and she is lucky her son didn't catch a bullet. She better accept he is where he should be and will be for long time...but still love him.
I assume she is a single parent by her writing. This is not an excuse, but merely a situation that she needed to managed. She is not upset or sorry for the suffering caused by her son, she is just upset he got caught and the shame it is bringing her.
She needs counseling before her other 4 children end up in the same place.
