Mom did the same thing with Dad and then told us when we complained that the ambulance would not come if they called. Mom does her best but under any stress falls apart.

I get tired of supporting other people who are having problems, even if just by keeping in touch with them through facebook, and giving them good thoughts and encouragement. But dammit......nobody ever looks out for me. .....feeling sorry for myself today.

I really am mad at one of our parents, I am going to lose my mind. She is so sure her child is being bullied all the time, so she complained about him being in a group with another kid who has serious issues during the day. We do not have the same issues after school so I do not respond to things not happening. Today she came in and wondered if the groups had been changed and wondered why not and told my staff "I don't blame you that was Ms. Zoe Girl's job", yeah, I knew the other kid was not attending today and it was my staff's last day so I didn't change the groupings because it didn't matter. And now she says another kid is telling him mean things that none of us have ever heard, so he shouldn't be with her. He is going to be a 2nd grader with preschool and kindergarten kids all based on imaginary bullying.
I have a bad case of spring fever along with life disatisfication. There is not much to do at most times of the year in my area. So very bored!
Blech and pooey - lots of noise and bother on my day at home and it is too cold to go to the park!
CathyA, I love your nature photos!! They are so beautiful. Just wanted to let you know that!
Oh, that's really nice of you to say that Tybee. Thank you!
Gangs of kids age 14 and younger roaming the area drinking beer and vandalizing- Grr- and they did it last year too but police do nothing!
We have been plagued with groups of young teens robbIng, pointing guns, actually shooting someone with a small pellet gun, and etc.Quote:

And then, when (if) they get into the system there are more hoops to jump through and all kinds of protections for them.
The juvenile justice system is just different from the other.
Our neighborhood's strongest tool has been to boot these kids' families out of public housing. We have to put pressure on the often useless public hous Ng management system to boot them, but it does happen. Their own rules call for that to happen. It is always a joy to make gubmnt institutions follow their own damn rules.
Indy is having a similiar problem. The latest story in the paper was about a teenage girl who was one actually shot with nonlethal rounds to get them to stop fighting. She admits she did not listen to the officers. At one point a shot was fired by one of the teenagers. We are having fights downtown on an almost nightly basis.
The teenager was arrested but even she said if they are released to their parents, nothing happens.
The saddest happening was when a 14 year old was killed by the security guard he tried to rob while holding a gun. The 29 year old with the 14 year old apparently gave him the gun due to lower chances of juvenile punishment by the courts.
