I have a brother the same age and he said the cops sat outside of his friends house one night, and had questioned them before they went in. This is all the way in Garner. Not sure why they would be wanting to stay out there all night, my brother went to Garner High and doesn't even know Daniel. Not sure why they would not do the same for some of his friends houses. Kinda questionable in my opionion.
Does anyone want to summarize for me? Apparently Daniel doesn't want to come home. His girlfriend pretended to be pregnant, then dumped him. But what does that have to do with him not wanting to come home? Why doesn't he want to come home?
Just my tought, Maybe Daniel has gone to far, does not know how to recover, and does not know how to apologize to his family and the community that has been so worried about him. Maybe he is ashamed and cannot come to terms of what he has done. I hope for him that he realizes that more people then he knows have been worried about him, and steps up, goes home and lives his life like a teenager should. I hope he forgets his pride because in the end pride gets you nowhere. I have been reading these posts. Where I worked put up a flier. I think everyone is sick of worrying about Daniel. I think we are all waiting for him to go home. There is no blame to be put here, It is just time for it to end. The ending should be for this child to go home.
Sorry but i have been worried to death and prayed through this whole thing, but obviously, the bottom line is the kid needs to friggin grow up, go home, get his butt whooped and hopefully one day learn that you pay for what you do in life and what goes around comes around. If he was my kid, i definitely would not be promising him a party and begging him to please come home, i am a true believer in tough love but i am not in their shoes so whatever they decide to do is up to them but i feel sorry for the kid if he gets rewarded for acting like a 5yo, he will be the one that will suffer for it in the long run.
Hey Kaci, I agree with you. All I am trying to say is that all of us have alot going on in our lives and we have spent time worring about this kid. He should not be rewarded. He needs to be the man he was when he left home and step up like that man and GO HOME.
Which JMHO should have been done a LONG time ago. :? I got my *** whopped growin' up - you learn from it! You know damn well what to do and NOT what to do. You learn respect AND controll.
Thanks harleygirl, Hey we were all teens and we all messed up, but this kid, well if he is really ok, he has gone way to far.
I'm tired of weeding through the innuendo with everyone trying not to step on the mother's toes. Won't someone who's been following this story just come out and say she's overbearing ...overprotective ...nagging ...a control freak who can't let her little boy grow up ...and that he can't come home because he'll have to hear "I told you so" a million times and be grounded for life. Is that all this is? Let me just add there is nothing more repulsive to a 16 year old boy than to be referred to as a "child". I'd have probably told my mom I was staying an extra 2 days for every time she called me that.
well i did walk away from my laptop for about 15 minutes cause the battery was dying but now it is plugged in. Seriously though, i really need to go make the marinade for the meat for tomorrow, you guys are just so addictive:jester:
so "little boy' is better then a "child" this kid ,if that is correct for you, just needs some tough love and I think we all agree on that.
I have stayed out of this because it is personal etc.... BUT I really dont see what the big deal is. I moved out at 17, my family life sucked and I was sick of it all. 20 some odd years later, I am fine. Never been homeless, never been on welfare, never really unhappy!! Happily married, good kids, good life etc... my sibs who stuck around to be sucked into that life style are divorced (numerous times for some) crappy lives, some into drugs, most drink etc... I hear all the time from folks who knew me 'then' that they cant believe "I made it ok." I made it because I got the heck out of there and learned from their mistakes!!!! I did get nervous after I moved out and realized I didnt have a future, but luckily Uncle Sam was recruiting and that gave me a few years to finish growing up and a roof over my head, and money for college.... Sometimes home life can be worse than life on your own. I dont know that is the situation here, but it was for me.
