Mommy's little angel. Uh-huh...

It seems that a bunch of teenagers broke into Brian Holloway's house while he was out of town, and threw a party. Including spray painting graffiti and wrecking the memorial to Mr. Holloway's stillborn son. You can read the whole store here at Joe for America.

And the interesting twist on this is, Holloway posted that anyone who helped him clean up the place, and help at a function he was hosting the next weekend, would be let off the hook. Obviously, this is a more forgiving man than I would have been....

Anyway, to make a short story longer, only ONE parent showed up. ONE. So Holloway, in an attempt to redress the situation posted pictures of the teen's 'party' on line. If individual guilt and shame don't cause the teens to come forward, maybe public shame will, right?

Nope. It appears parents are looking to sue Mr. Holloway for posting pictures of kids, who posted the pictures themselves, on line.

I worked for a drug and sexual offender teen rehab facility for almost seven years. Some kid would get out of hand, start cussing, fighting, and/or otherwise being a general pain in the ass, and when consequented, they invariably would call Mommy or Daddy, and tell them: "And all I did was (insert something innocent here)."

And of course, Mommy or Daddy would call and start chewing out staff for accusing their precious, innocent child of wrongdoing. No matter that the kid had a rap sheet ten pages long on B/E, possession, theft, whatever. Or was convicted of a sexually perverse crime, usually against a much younger victim.

We live in a sick society, folks. And its getting sicker. Too many nanny state parents having people jailed for spanking their kid, when they should have taken their kid to the woodshed long ago. There is no more accountability in our children's lives.

And this isn't the first generation of entitled spoiled brats. That group is now getting old enough to run for office. Good luck, America. You're gonna need it.
