As a newer member of CC, I was not here during this strategy. It is very sad and helpful to others as a tragic lesson of consequences. Thank you for sharing this and posting. It should be posted yearly so that this may be a lesson to the many student who visit here.
As the father of two sons, I feel the main responsibility is to keep them alive. Sure it is nice to raise them and teach them things, but these stories bring home the real need to simply keep them alive. It was mentioned earlier that “if they could just have gotten through a few more years”. It is so true. I have heard that if children can reach 25, they are mostly out of the woods for these types of behaviors.
My prayers go out to the poor parents and family he left behind.
