Reply #6: The first thing that I wondered about is where were these parents. This

crime took place in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. What the hell were these 'kids' doing roaming the streets at 3:00 a.m.???? Nothing good is gonna happen to a fifteen year old at 3:00 a.m.

I think that someone needs to answer the question why nobody thought there was a problem that they were out at that time. And if no one knew they were out, why not.

I don't care what anyone says, people are responsible for their kids. They're just not something you pop out and just allow to behave as the want. They're not smart enough to control their impulsive, and in many cases, destructive behavior. And second, too damn many bad things can happen to kids today. This is a two-way thing. People should not only be concerned about what their kids are doing, they should be damned concerned about what others may be doing to their kids as they're out roaming the streets.

NONE of this makes sense to me.
