Kids Today

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicki, Hi Zanna,

First, my prayers are with your family, Zanna...I

cannot imagine the grief.

You know something, Vicki, I think your friend is on

to something! Some of the kids are so blaise about

it. There are great kids out there, but so often they

are overshadowed by the media's negative focus.

Now here's something that will set your teeth on edge!

A friend of mine is a bus driver. This 8th grade boy

has been a bully since day one. The other day Don has

to go to the school district cause the boy threatened

two Indian girls because they looked like Arabs.

Other kids got really upset and Don said it got pretty

ugly. Well, the kid got hauled to the district and

the parents showed up...and DEFENDED the little jerk.

He didn't mean it, he was just teasing, he didn't

understand , and then they tried to say Don was

instigating against their son! This is a huge

problem, parents thinking their children are so

perfect and shouldn't be held accountable. That makes

my blood boil!
