Return to “Dad kills teen son during attempted burglary”
on child rearing are people who have no children or their children have not yet seen their 21rst bday. 
I dont think we should be assuming that this father didnt "have the talk", or that he was somehow irresponsible as a father. I bet he has talked to his son many times. My heart aches trying to imagine the suffering of this poor man.JALLEN wrote:I bet he wishes he had had the talk with his son, don't go burglarizing folks' houses or places, messing with stuff that doesn't belong to you, etc. By the time a kid is old enough to go out on his own, somebody needs to make sure that has been covered and understood. That is one of the things fathers are for.
Would the regret be any less if someone else had shot his kid? I hardly think so. It is not much solace, but at least he knows the circumstances, and doesn't have to wonder if his son was murdered and the reality was covered up somehow, as is often claimed.
