Worst Parent Award (Video)

[THEE HAMMER]

Oh, really? This is an outrage that demands a bloodletting? No one here as a teenager has ever had a verbal confrontation with their parents? Where their parents said/did some incredibly stupid things? No one here has had some very aggravating moments parenting their teenage kids?
Not at all saying the Mom was right, but jeeez, really? You gonna go print up some T-shirts and call Al Sharpton and start a protest to demand justice?? Just wow.

If my mom berated me constantly and locked away thousands of dollars of gear THAT I PAID FOR when I get good grades, stay out of trouble, and take car of my responsibilities then i'd be pretty upset too.

Everyone makes mistakes and parents goof pretty often, but when it becomes a constant and takes an emotional/financial toll out on an otherwise great kid.... then outrage kind of pours out. Everyone who knows the boy IRL says she is insane and prone to fly off into violent hysterical fits.

Ok, again, I'm just trying to get some sense of the terms that are being used here. How do the people who "know" the boy....know the boy? That is, do they know him because they live two houses down, they are his classmates, they've been to his house a bunch of times and actually witnessed shit going down, actually met his mother and father? Or do they "know" him, because they converse with him over the internet and have only read what he has told them about the situation. If the first is true, ok, but the bottom line is that you or I most likely wouldn't be able to tell if that really was the case or not. Again, I'm just really skeptical about videos of this type.

If his Dad really is "just fine" I wonder if this kid has showed the video to him, told him that he posted it on the internet, that he has actually received offers for someone to come over and stab his wife and that the whole world now thinks his wife is a c**t.........uh, you're cool with that right dad? Who knows, maybe dad is.
I'd like to see a recording of that conversation. He could say, well dad, here's your chance to tell the world what you think about this, if this family is broken or not and if it is broken why the fuck are you not helping me out and why are you letting her take away all the stuff that I paid for? If all this is true, isn't the dad just as at fault by being non-psycho and NOT helping the kid out?

Several of the ss.org forumites are his friends from school and have been to his house and hung around him as friends do and have seen what she is like on a daily basis.

I doubt anyone would be foolish to threaten the mom outside of youtube or being an internet badass. People fly off the handle there more than anywhere else, and from the threads i've read and taken part in the dad isn't happy with the situation, but supports his son to a point... he just doesn't have the backbone to stand up to his wife when she is throwing shit fits over anything, he has expressed intent to help his son in the moving out process so all parties may have less stress.

Once again I get this from reading dozens of threads over time and talking to the kid and his friends. I just would rather put some "facts" in when questions arise regarding where he gets his gear, if he is a good student, respectful... etc.... blah blah blah
He didn;t record the video to harm his mom or be a crybaby... he was simply showing how unsupportive his mom was and how she acts behind closed doors constantly.

Perfect the way his reflection showed in the Engl face plate.
