I honestly think some of the stuff she went through could be considered emotional abuse. I really just think she is coping with it and not saying he name or even really accepting the fact he was her step son. That entire family has been through an ordeal and will be picking up pieces for a long time after the trial.
If kid was still a minor they can and I wouldn't be suprised if they did face some type of civil charges from the victims magically appearing family or someone else.
If there was a still open investigation, or this kid was a freaking legend among the social workers. Some people cut a bloody swath on their road to hell.
Trying to distance herself from it emotionally, anger at just hearing the kids name? When you really hate someone how often do you actually use their name?
No, at worst they are reactive solutions. (I was trying to use them literally and metaphorically.) SWAT team goes into the bank BEFORE hostages start getting shot.
Didn't try positive reenforcement? Read the fucking letter.
"We had absolutely no idea what else we could do. We already had him in counseling, and we did everything the counselors suggested. We tried rewarding his good behavior (what little there was) to try to get him to see that when he behaves like a normal human being, things are good and people enjoy being around him. Nothing phased him at all."
Do you know what the letter was in response too? She has the right to tell her side of the story when someone accuses her of failing or screwing up. She did not "sell out" this child. This child sold himself out when he went and MURDERED a man then played with his corpse. This kid has a HISTORY of ABUSING HANDIFUCKINGCAPED children. You know what else. He learned that he could get away with it to, as long as he said the right things.
She did not betray him. She did not sell him out. There was nothing to sell out in the first place. Hell what do you want her to do. Is she supposed to defend him? How do you defend a child like this? He was from a broken home, fine. He murdered someone. You either jail him, jail him for life in solitary, execute him, or give him a free pass because he couldn't fucking cope with the same shit alot of other kids do. What do you do when he gets out of jail and kills again? Another free pass? Hell the woman tried to do what she could.
Legos are one of the best toys you can give to a child who will not ingest them. Give them the manual. Let them build once then watch them go from there.
.. I complemented our country on restraint. Hell it was in response to a post about how the US should be disarmed? Where the hell did I say we don't give a damn about the people on the ground. All i commented on was the fact we have a military that is wielded my by the people then good military sense.
Even if you were about to beat us we wouldn't use the nuclear option. Consider yourself lucky that we have exercised such restraint with our weapons, more restraint that I thought was possible from a country as fucked up as this one is.
You seemed to have missed the word SAFELY in my post. If the industry was BIGGER some selfish ass would inevitably come along and do it better and safer and get Rich doing it.
You know... if there was a large industry for getting rid of nuclear waste... someone would find a way to do it quickly, safely, and cheaply just so they can be a rich bastard off of it.
No sane historian will deny that the allies did things that were as bad as the Germans. We starved a ton of them after the war. Hell we fired bomb civilian targets. In the end it all comes down to intent and motivations.

Isn't he what they refer to as "fresh meat" in federal ass pounding prison?

Hell he got alot more than some divorced kids get. He got a step parent who was CONCERNED AND TRIED TO HELP HIM.

That is positive reenforcement.

Not everyone can be reasoned with. That is why you have swat teams and a military.
No its very much a third person game.

Dude, nothing bad ever happens in Switzerland, its fucking paradise on earth. Plus the swiss military would kick any upstart black holes ass.
Just curious, since the end of the cold war how many countries have we threatened with a nuke if they didn't give into our demands?
Douglass Macarthur thought we should have nuked the Chinese coast and then invaded them. Guess what happened to his ass.
Also, how would you have ended the war in the pacific?

I may have read it wrong, but I don't think his theory accounts for every bit of the temperature change.
Bush's fault. If we were not in Iraq this would not be a problem.
Lame joke or irrational hatred? You decide.
Then this could be a neat little chip.

... if only I could smack people through my monitor.
The real life version is futile and painful. The virtual one is futile and FUN!

Why the hell was I cursed to be so damned inarticulate.
