Parents start parenting your kids.

well its the result of all this hate that we as adults put in our children s mind they just react deffent than adults ..is sad but this is what we ve come down to.only god can help us,

My heart go's out to the families, of these young boys.
I lived and raised my son in Central Falls,from 1969-1990. This city was a good place to have children grow up.
What has happen?

i knew tomar he was a young man trying to change his life. the street is a war zone, my child wont go to school fear of her own life. parent need to reasure children and teen to choose your friend carefully.and teen listin to your parents stay in school,find postive role-model,and stay strong to your faith.

Its a lot deeper than only blaming the parents. Its deep down aggression that needs to be curbed. Blaming the parents is a scape goat in order to avoid facing real problems that need to change within our communities. It has to do with the parents, but kids need love from everyone. There's too much hate out there and kids don't know what love is. Kids need to be able to look far into their own futures. They only see whats directly next.

srry for your lose kidds now of dayz think itz cool to be into the streets but itz really not,

Its hard to be a parent. Get help, get support, get someone to back you up when you say no. Get help!! From community from friends.
Kids react so quick, many come out first with suspicion, defensiveness they assume you are putting them down -sometimes that is true. Kids feel not-understood. It seems hard to communicate. Kids act tough- scary sometimes I found out that underneath the toughness they are kind, fun, interesting and caring. I love all of you. Be really tough- walk away from the violence, the drugs, the booze. Forget to hate, please! You might feel all alone for awhile, in the end I believe it is worth it. How can we, the adults convince you, show you that it is worth it?

I believe that sometimes young teens over react to situations. The peer pressure surrounds them and they have to stand up to it, to be accepted. Its sad, even with tomar and anthony, tomar should of never had a gun and anthony had to defend himself. But it still ended in the loss of a life. Just like the 16 year old who died. He was a innocent young boy and now he is not here anymore because of kids who dont think before acting. Where are the parents? How were they raised?
