I know many who lived in the worst of the worst.

BTW beating a kid like this does not necessarily negate they turn out "bad" it simply does not improve the odds.

And I toiled in a HUD sponsored welfare to work program back in the Clinton welfare reform days. I had over a hundred single black mom clients who spilled their guts out to me for over 15 years about what they dealt with trying to keep their 14 year old boys out of the "thug" life.

What typically worked is when the boys were more afraid of their mom, or all too often their grandmother, than they were of the gangbangers. It's not the plan of choice for any child's development. But when the alternatives are what they are...what works is what needs to be done.

So barbara can blow it out her ass.

For starters, not teaching him that violence is a good way to get your point across.

I know all about inner city hard times and raising boys single handed... But I hardly have to justify any thing to you.

Tell you what Barbara, if you're telling me that you are a single black mom who raised boys in the ghetto, then I humbly apologize. If you're not, humbly, you can blow it out your ass.

You are so full of yourself....

Not that I have to justify it to you.... But I know all about raising two boys in the inner city single handed. If you can't take my word for it then that is your problem... Not mine.

Don't bother with an apology. Coming from you it wouldn't mean anything.

Carry on with your ranting.... It's clear you get off on sounding like a two year old having a tantrum.

No offense Tom...

None taken.

I've spent plenty of time in Jersey as most of my family still lives them.

I have fucken Blue Collar New Jersey Polack roots.

My uncle even hooked me up with a construction gig up there during the summer of 68 when I was in college.

You ain't lived till you've worked construction for George and Bill Dworetsky's in Fairlawn.

I can hold my own with those New Jersey Wiseguys.

I'll take that as a...no I'm not a black single mom from the 'hood. You called Toya Graham a "thug" barbara. So you can try to spin it off any way you like...but it's all pure barbara.

For finishers...the kid was on TV with mom this evening. Looking appropriately remorseful for being such an idiot for not telling his friends to get lost, and promising his mom to do better.

Yeh...Toya Graham is a real "thug". Barbara can blow her opinion of this woman out her pompous ass.

CBS NEWS: “Do you think strong mothers can keep this kind of thing from happening?”

TOYA GRAHAM: “I think so. I think it wouldn’t have been as worse as it was. But once again, we don’t know where those mothers [were] at. A lot of mothers have to provide for their children. You can make that phone call, ‘get home, get home right now.’ At the end of the day, they’re going to make their own decision. As parents, we just have to follow through to make sure that’s where they’re supposed to be at. Is he the perfect boy? No he’s not! But he’s mine. I’m just grateful that I was able to get him home, and we actually sit back and watched the news and everything. He has Facebook friends, and everybody making comments and saying you know, you shouldn't be mad at your mother, you should give her a hug, and by him seeing everything what’s going on I just hope, I’m not sure, but I hope that he understands the seriousness of what was going on last night.”

Some thug. WTF is wrong with you...

I'm thinking it's more of a, "How is this any of your fucking business, asshole?"

But I could be mistaken.

Nah!

How does this in any way negate what I said?

Yeh...his mother is a real "thug". Barbara can blow her opinion of this woman out her pompous ass.

Yeah! How dare she disagree with you?
