And that's coming off a school suspension. Are you kidding me? I would've been grounded for sure, as would my son (just graduated) if he'd been suspended.
This doesn't necessarily relate to the Martin case but I noticed a middle schooler out and about on a school day (I was pretty sure he was suspended that day) and I made a similar comment..."why isn't that little fucker grounded and at home"? The person I was talking to (who probably makes me look like Ann Coulter) commented that if you're pretty much poor, both parents work, you don't necessarily have family or someone else around who's willing to sit on the kid during the day while you're working...short of chaining the kid to the bed, what do you do? If you're not physically present...? I guess you could lay traps at doors to determine if they've gone in or out during the day (the old tiny slip of paper that falls to the ground if the door is opened) but damn. Made me glad I'm around to make sure my grounded kids stay grounded.
Like I said, it doesn't necessarily relate to Trayvon but I can see how this shit happens if you don't have the resources, time or whatever to control your kids.
