What are happening to our children??

I just seen this video, linked below, about this 7 year old boy who stole his grandmother's truck, drove it up and down the highway hitting 4 cars, two of which was parked, ran into a sign, then drove into a ditch...

I'll pause to wait for all gasps and head shakes to stop *pauses* Ok...

The story is: Boy's grandmother went to her daugther's house, the boy's mother, to help her assemble a basketball goal for said boy. While in the back yard, the grandmother heard noises, ran to the front, and noticed her 2006 Durango was missing. Immediately she called the police with reasons to believe her seven year old grandson stole her truck for a joy ride.

First thing... If you seen the video, you would have also seen that lil basketball goal that they was trying to hook up.. I just hope that there is another small child in the house cause that boy is too old to be playing with that lil thing. That leads me to assume a few things: [1] There is no man in the home cause the boy's mother called her mother, the boy's grandmother. Which one can also assume that their is no male in the boy's home or in the boy's grandmother's home which means no male role model period.. [2] They are babifying the boy. No, 7 year old needs to play with toys made for babies. [3] The boy's mother does not have a lot of money. My reason for that is that in most cases children in low income homes receives some things later than other kids in middle class income homes because their parents are able to afford them later...

That boy is crying out for help.. He is begging for attention and since he sees a lot of bad people on TV he most likely assumes that he must be bad to get attention. The problem with that is that a parent can not shield their child from bad things.. Bad things are found on TV and in person. Therefore the parent must be there to steer that child in the right direction..

And where was that boy's mother?? She should have been questioned or something.. There is no need to hide behind the cameras now cause her son done already put them out there. A person's child is a reflection of that person so she have already been noted..

I pray for that family. I also pray that the boy receives help before he receives a casket.

His level of disrespect is through the roof. When asked why he did it, he responded with 'Cause I wanted to'.. He appeared to not care about the people's car that he hit.

I seriously believe that there is a reason for the boy's actions and it is not just to go on a "high speed chase". He needs serious help and fast. It is a good thing that his story is advertised because now he can hopefully get the help that he needs.

This story also alerted me of something else... Why must the stories that are aired on TV always be of the bad kids? Very seldom are good children rewarded by getting their story advertised.. Maybe if children seen good children on TV then they too would want to act like them.. Ummm......
