I don't live in mom's basement but I do believe that kids today are different that kids I grew up with.
Nowadays parents are more concerned about driving a BMW and vacationing at the lake rather than raising their children. People use to be proud of their kids, not their cars. They'd bragged about boy's and girl's accomplishments rather than vacation plans. Mothers and fathers (!) use to raise children and spend time with them.
A 19-year-old man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to all charges related to the gang rape of an 11-year-old girl in a park bathroom last month.
Sykes was the only adult charged in the March 10 incident at Victoriano Park. Police said an older girl lured the victim to the park, where Sykes and six other boys were waiting.
Of the juveniles, prosecutors are seeking to try four of the boys as adults. Dominique Dupree Hull, 15, Phillip Alexander Butler, 16, and two brothers, Javonte Marquise Dixon and Johntae Maurice Dixon, both 17, are all charged as juveniles with rape, sodomy, oral copulation and lewd acts with a child under 14, all to benefit the gang.
An 11-year-old girl gang raped last month in a park was developmentally disabled, with the mental capacity of a 5-year-old, newly released court documents reveal.
A police search warrant obtained Friday also showed that at least part of the attack by a man and six boys was videotaped on a cell phone and that the victim had been lured to the park from a nearby middle school.
Stuff like that didn't happen in the suburbs when I was a kid.
