Anyway, thanks again for the comfort. We carry on day by day.
Well it ain’t me!!!! I live in Baltimore city. We have murderers on the loose every day. Very sad someone died!!
That's because your children are young. Kids can get themselves in trouble regardless of how good the parenting is. As long as a kid has free will they have the ability to make bad choices outside the purview of the parents.
yes, and charged with murder "and other offenses"

illegal use of a handgun seems a little redundant... maybe this time he'll get jail.
I haven't said anything until now, but I'm Jacob's grandfather. We were at his house yesterday, the family, especially his "middle" brother "Xander" are just wrecked. Wife and I are still pretty numb.
Thanks everyone for the good thoughts and prayers. My son's family and friends will need all the prayers that can be provided as they work through their grieving. The thought returned to me that I had when my daughter passed last year from cancer: "This isn't right - THEY should be putting ME in the ground after a long and peaceful life." This is all in God's plan for whatever reason, we're sure.
The charges against Dellinger (the shooter) are first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, use of a firearm in a felony, and a handgun on his person. I hope he's held without bail.
Wife and I are worried that Dellinger's dope fiend friends don't try to exact revenge on the family for this. If they try here they will be in for a VERY unpleasant surprise.
Anyway, thanks again for the comfort. We carry on day by day.
Stop being a "parent" and just let your kids be, and tell me how that works out. Of course, your kids are all older and have already been parented.
Are you telling me that your kids turned out great, without any involvement from you and your wife, other than just conceiving them and birthing them. After that, all you did was feed them. No lectures. No punishment/reward for grades, no showing them how to do things like hunting/fishing, etc.?
Yes, some children can go off the path that parents try to set forth for them, but take a look at children that have no parenting, no path laid in front of them, etc.
Personally, I think children pick up a ton of traits from their parents. I have noticed that children use the same mannerisms and speech patterns as parents. Those that see drug use and alcohol use in the house, think it is just fine to do those things too. Those that grow up with shooting, hunting, fishing, etc. are way more apt to do those things.
I am also convinced that a child will be who he/she will be by the time they are 5 years old. That is how it turned out with me and my siblings. By the time we were done with elementary school, it was already clear where we were all headed.
You just don't stop, do you?
