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

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.

Even so, it's her son - her house- and her daycare business. Just as a daycare provider alone she should've removed him from her home. And if he was hard up enough to file a case against her for kicking him out I'm pretty sure she'd rather be fighting that then on the off chance he do something to one of the children in her care and have to fight that case from the child's parents. Maybe it would've also woke other people up in the process as well to his mental state (whatever it may have been) and would've allowed her to do something about it easier.

I don't think that includes your own adult children. :shrug: Besides what would they do threaten a lawsuit or hit you with a club or something!

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

exactly, probably the best the mother could have gotten would have been a restraining order.

Aslo, if the kid threatened the mother, don't you think she would have said something to her boyfriend? I'm just thinking that the victim must have known the kid was unstable.

Hey BadGirl

....What about Scott Peterson? Everyone has said how NICE he was (even his mother-in-law, and it was HER daughter who was murdered), and friendly. No one (to my knowledge) has said that, now that they look back, they saw signs of him wanting to harm people.
Now, is it Scott's mother's responsibility that he murdered his wife?


Back to Nick's case...Let's face it--if Nick's Mom WAS threatened, if she did call the cops, theyw ouldn't have done anything, and we all know that. And you can bet your azz that Nick's Mom told Gus what Nick did... and he still chose to be with/around Nick, therefore risking his own life.
Now, I AM NOT trying to say that this is in anyway Gus' fault. I'm just trying to prove that it's not Nick's Mom's fault. I do'nt believe there was much that she could have done to try to help him (either by reporting him, or kicking him out of her house, etc.)

Yes and no, that brat was use to getting everything he ever wanted. He was all about appearances and what everyone thought of him. He couldn’t just go and get divorced because he was afraid of how that would appear to everyone that he was cheating and running around on his pregnant wife. He felt he was privileged to have everything he ever wanted all his life and up until Lacy, everything went his way. He thought he could whack Lacy and garner sympathy from the public as the poor widow and then move his little girlfriend in. Who conditioned that behavior? His parents. :shrug:

Then you have cases where a murder occurs because of one’s involvement in drugs. This is beyond a parental conditioning because all the conditioning in the world isn’t going to mean jack if a person is under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance or if they are mentally ill with say schizophrenia.

You can sit here all day and type example after example, some cases may fall back on the parents, maybe, but some may not. Somewhere along the line parental responsibility stops and one is responsible for their own actions.

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.

A doctor can send them for (I think) 72 hours, and then you can process them through a court to keep them there..

Thanks to the democrats all the sanatoriums are gone, and all the whack jobs walk the street, then when you find a NEW whack job, there isn't much you can do about it.

Now in Nick's case, Mom brought him into the world, she should have taken him out. She probably would have gotten away with it, AND saved her boyfriends life in the process. I tell you one thing, one of my kids threatens me, my ex or BG.. they may not be dead, but they damn sure are going to wish they were, and I don't give a damn about how old they are.

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

Obviously

No one (to my knowledge) has said that, now that they look back, they saw signs of him wanting to harm people.

Admitting such on national television would be tantamount to admitting that they failed him or Laci in some way. I do recall her family (her sister maybe?) saying that she seemed a little "off" toward the end, like something was bothering her. I'm sure they beat themselves up about it every day...not pushing her to tell them what was going on. Sociopathic behavior does not go unnoticed, it just goes uncommented upon.

You really expect BG to respond to you?

Lets give them meds and dump them on Parole/Probation Officers, that will save us money.

Oh wait, they already do that.

It takes two doctors to hold a person for mental evaluation - thanks insurance (patients and malpractice) companies!

I tell you one thing, one of my kids threatens me, my ex or BG.. they may not be dead, but they damn sure are going to wish they were, and I don't give a damn about how old they are.

That's scary...advocating murder and violence.

This is EXACTLY what I've been trying to say!!

I'm not saying that this is the case with Nick, I"m just saying that it DOES happen

That's because she's mad b/c she knows I'm right.

ANd what would you do if someone threatens to kill you or someone you love?? Put them in a time out?? Write them a tersly written memo on what behavior is acceptable?? Tell them to get their golf clubs from the fire house and play 18 holes??

The ones that advocate violence and murder are the ones that do NOTHING to prevent it..

 

[mAlice]

Yeah, that's it. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact you hope her child grows up to be a monster who molests some innocent little girl.

YOU are a true dumbazz.
You must have failed english when you were in school because not only do you not know the meaning of EXAMPLE, but you also apparently don't know how to read (the rest of my posts).
SOMD is just full of cliques who defend each other, even if they're wrong. It's like high school all over again.

BTW--thx for the red (again).

 

[vraiblonde]

You're not right. You've taken what she said and blown it completely out of proportion.

If you're close enough to your kid that they actually live with you and are out running errands with your boyfriend, you cannot reasonably say that you had no idea they had problems. I do not know Nick Potts' mom at all, but it's obvious that she ignored warning signs. If he was on drugs, she knew that. If he had psychological issues, she knew that. This guy didn't just snap out of the blue because things don't happen that way.

This woman certainly feels guilty, and is looking back saying, "I should have seen this, I should have seen that." I'd lay money on it, because that's a very normal parental reaction. There are ALWAYS warning signs, even if you only see them in hindsight.

You're an idiot BG. You clearly did not even read the article. He wasn't a KID.. it was a thirty-something year old dude.
And you DO think it's his parents fault?

Man, I sure hope you're on somd in 20 years when you find out that your child is NOT perfect and there's nothing you can do about it. I hope your azz gets thrown in jail for your son molesting a little girl.

No where in this post does it say anything about an example.

I didn't give you karma of any color, you don't need mine.

This is what you said:

There is no ambiguity there. You were very clear and we can all read.
