23. Young and unsupervised

Even though these young people were young we have to think about the parts that were said about 2 having ankle monitors and 3 having active warrants for their arrests. My question is where in the hell are the parents? There is no way my 14-16yr old is going to be doing anything to get in that much trouble under my watch and even if they did and were to wear ankle monitors there would be no room for them to gain a warrant for their arrest or leave the house at that. They literally are fending for themselves at that point. I understand kids can be bad but come on now. They've obviously been in Trouble more than once so be a damn parent and parent them kids. Keep their bad butts in the dang house. These kids obviously knew they were in Trouble from stealing the car while in Trouble in the first place thus the chase. I am curious if there was one kid out of those 4 that had no bad rap just wrong place wrong time. They never said all 4 were troublemakers with monitors and/or warrants. I believe one of them 14yr Olds was innocent. Either way now they race and had to see their demise coming the very quick moment they could see and then their lives were over. Just done.. no more kids. No graduations, no growing up and out of the crap they were involved in. These boys needed some serious help and the parents that didn't do that should be ashamed of themselves. I have given up my entire life as I knew it to be once I had children. Yes I work and yes I struggle to but no matter what I take care of my kids and their needs both physically and mentally. They have a whole life to live and we have lived ours the way we chose to its not their fault they were born it's ours and it's a responsibility not a hobby. Parents better wake the hell up!!! I'll be broke and homeless before I let my child detour from being a good human being and a productive human being as well. This is BS and never should have happened. Actions speak louder than words don't just tell them you love them show them or this will keep happening.
