Does anyone know what's going on around the Lexington Park Post Office?

If it's a CHILD, then yes I 100% agree with this. If they're grown, I think there's only so much you can do. Obviously, even if it's a GROWN child (like nick), if he threatened to kill his mom then yes she should have done something about that.

Obviously his parents failed at some point during his childhood. Otherwise, we wouldn't be discussing this trajic incident. I think the point everybody is trying to convey is that even though Nick is an adult, his parents should have intervened when they saw the FIRST sign of unusual behavior. Now it's too late.

A parent's job is never done no matter how old their child is.

What a horrible thing to say.

I would never wish that on anyone. It was an EXAMPLE (for effect), saying that I personally wouldn't think SHE would be responsible for her son's actions if he were 35 and molesting a child. I'm sure BG is a good mom and will raise her son right, but ya never know what people will do.

Thanks sugarmama

At least you remembered the comma.

I'm not saying give up on your child after they're grown, but at some point they need to be responsible for their own actions, not you.

Not only did you wish it on someone, you wished it on three someone's.

Did you even read the rest of my post?
Like I said before, all you azzes are just choosing what you want to read, and ignoring the rest.

THIS I agree with.

Maybe YOU should go back and read what you posted.

So what she said about NICK's MOM getting him help would be true.. BUT Nick threatened to kill his mom, and in turn killed her boyfriend of THIRTEEN years, then wants him to have the best defense money can buy.. yet if she did the job a parent SHOULD do, there would be no golf club inbedded in someone's skull.. and if he did threaten to kill her and she did nothing about it, then I feel she is culpable...

The mom’s culpable of what - homicide or blame?

Nick is an adult therefor, responsible for his own actions and as far as Nick threatening his mom’s life, what exactly could she do but get a protective order against him. You can force an adult into therapy.

There are institutions in existence that don't give individuals a choice. If his mom were vigilant enough to report him, he'd probably be sitting in an institution rather than a jail cell right now.

IF, the son was willing to be committed voluntarily, then maybe so, if not, the process to get somebody committed is much more complex.

Even if an individual threatened another's life?

Yeah bright eyes, this is the United States of America - right?

It depends on the circumstances involving the threat. If I say I’m going to kill you, but I haven’t put a hand on you, there is not a doubt in my mind that person would be released on his or her own personal recognizance. If they put their hands around your neck or something that physically hurt you, there may be a bond or no bond posted until the case can be heard.

To get somebody placed in a facility that deals with mental issues, you first have to have an emergency commitment signed by the courts if they are not willing to go themselves.

She could've kicked him out of her home. I just can't believe that after your son would threaten your life that you'd still let him live in your home (that's where the paper said he was living) and run a day care in the same house.

Did you know that you can’t on the spur of the moment evict (kick out) someone that has resided in your home for over thirty days without giving them prior notice - whether they pay rent or not.

In this country you are also not allowed to commit crimes such as murder:shrug:
