Quote: I head that Isaiah had been arrested for a hate crime and vandalism on the news last night. He spray painted religious slurs all over a woman's driveway and the road in front of her House (allegedly.) That's just so sad.
Which one is Isaaiah again? I have trouble with names. The only guys that I have straight are Frank and Derek and...is Nick the twin? Boy I need nicknames for these guys...but something easier to remember than "Reluctant Bison Charging" (or whatever they were).

Isaiah is probably the oldest boy there, doesn;t say that much, and is very angry a lot of the time. He seemed to have some kind of breakthrough towards the end of last week.
And yes, Nick is the twin.

OMG!!!
Let's go back a bit.
Earlier this summer, there was a boating accident locally. A 16 year old, unlicensed, drove the speedboat she was in into a party raft...injuring seven members of a family, including an infant that was on this raft. (What an infant was doing on a party raft, I don't know, but that's another story.)
I watched a little of the finale of Brat Camp. I caught the update on Jada...who happens to be from Boston.
Turns out Jada was the girl driving the speedboat.
No drugs or alcohol were involved in that accident, but Jada has admitted to smoking pot since she's finished with Sagewalk and returned home.

I'll bet money that she said it wasn't her fault! If she was my kid I'd give her another turn at Sagewalk and then boarding school! And no bailing her out!
Did anyone catch last nights show. It was the finale.All the kids graduated but all the councellors felt Jada wasn't really ready. Heather, Lexie and Nick went home for Christmas.
Jada learned nothing from this she went right back to her old ways.Heather and Lexie went to boarding school and are doing well. Jada refused to go, in part because there was no cel phones and no internet, and her parents of course caved. And guess what the spoiled brat has a cel phone and computer.
The show mentioned Issaih's areest and Jada's. All the other kids are doing well.
7 out of 9 is a pretty good success rate (considering that these were all kids that nobody could handle).
Jada's problem is obviously due to her ineffective parents. As long as they continue to allow her to emotionally blackmail them, she will continue to act this way.

Quote: It's kind of sad to think what kind of adult Jada may turn into. I'd also bet that her parents will continue to bail her out well into adulthood.
The way she behaves, she probably won't live to make it to adulthood. I somehow see an overdose or a fatal accident in her future. Sad.
Shows like this really make me appreciate my parents more though. They weren't perfect, but they did a good job of teaching us morals, values, and that we would be held accountable for our actions.
If I ever pulled the crap Jada pulls, I would not have lived to see my 18th birthday. My mother would've knocked me out cold. This woman still believes that there's no bad behaviour a good spanking can't correct. Get spanked enough as a kid, and you sure learn how to behave!
