Grounded

Yesterday, I am cruising the Internet and my brother IMs me a link to a story that he thinks I should check out. I am not a big news person, but I try to keep in the loop as much as possible. I could not believe what I was reading! This article was about a kid that tried to kill his parents. This kid actually went and meet a hit man and tried to hire this person to kill his parents. Now, I am sure that you are thinking what the heck!! (you can enter your own choice word here). Now the fact that he did this is bad, and I am talking REALLY bad. But trust me, its gets worse...the reason that he thought they needed to be killed was....wait for it, wait...they grounded him! That's right, his mom decided that he needed an attitude adjustment and his grades were slipping. So she did was any good parent would do, she took away his PlayStation and TV privileges away. Nothing that anyone else did not have done to them. I remember losing the privilege to play video games, and not being able to watch TV. To a kid that is horrible thing, and I am sure that at the time I was mad at my folks for doing it, but I would NEVER EVER think about having someone kill them.

All right, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. How you may ask? Well, the kid was not all that smart you see. He was so upset that he made a few threats towards his folks and the mom took things a serious. So, she reported him to the local cops. And they decided to setup a sting operation. I am sure that most of you know where I am going with this. The hit man that they boy met with was an undercover cop! And he was arrested on site, now the boy did not go alone to meet this "hit man". One of his friend's mom; that he trusted took him there! That amazed me so much that I had to re-read to make sure that I actually read it right! There is no mention of her getting arrested, but I don't see how they could not have when she drove him there. Now, I hate to say this but the kid is not going to tried as an adult. Which everyone knows that being that he is 17, he will only be in jail till he is 21 and that is even if they kid him the maximum time in jail. Then after he is out, his records are sealed and he never has to think of it again.

What really gets me, is when stories such as these are mentioned in the news is why they don't mention what medicines that the people are on. You see, there is shut off values or filters if you will. This filters put a stop to ideas like the ones that this kid had. I am sure that everyone has gotten upset and thought I gonna kill that guy that just cut me off in traffic. But you mind takes that idea and gets rid of it, your anger passes and you are over it. Now, take that same situation and put the person on some sort of mind altering drug. This person has the same thought, but his mind being messed up the way that it is does not get rid of that idea until the idea is acted out. Nothing of this nature is ever mentioned, because such a high regard has been set in place for the so called "head doctors" that no one wants to admit that they kill people and don't save them.

Okay, that is enough of a rant. Just one last thing take care of yourself and stay away from "head doctors" they don't know anything about how the mind actually works. Think about it, these are people that get together once a year and vote in so called "new illness".
