Did anyone else see this story? Apparently being an entitled brat can actually be used as a defense in a DUI/vehicular homicide case. This kid killed people by drinking and driving, and the judge gave him 10 yrs probation. Why? Because he's never been made to take responsibility for anything. He doesn't understand right and wrong. Really? :sick:

Saw that yesterday and wanted to scream. Someone in his camp(lawyer or family friend???)made a comment about the poor baby not being able to see his parents for two years while he's in "rehab". Are we really suppose to care about that?
Meanwhile the family members of the four people he killed, will never see their loved ones again.

Every bad behaviour is now a "syndrome" which I have a MASSIVE problem with.
What used to be called a TAN-TRUM is now called Oppositional Defiance Disorder
Almost EVERY kid has ADHD, Asberger's and Autism nowadays.
Although such conditions DO exist, I believe we have massively OVERdiagnosing of such just so that Big Pharma and the Psychiatry Industry can make billions.
Call me old fashioned but since they did away with spanking (spanking, not beating) and plain old discipline and guidance, all of these "disorders" started sprouting up!
Here's another stupid story that was most likely posted here awhile ago:

I'm afraid the chickens are and will continue to come home to roost for an endless amount of time until parents take back the reins and government butts out.

It's not easily distracted, it's ADHD.
It's not moody/emotional, it's bipolar.
