Sick

This is probably one of the most disturbing child related news stories I have read in a while. See, some people think parents who monitor their kids online activities are wrong. I disagree and I think that they should be monitored. I have no idea what some parents are thinking. Of course, maybe his parents thought they were monitoring him, for all we know. Kids are pretty good at making multiple accounts, something else parents don't take into consideration. Also, kids can go to libraries and friend's homes to use the internet and make accounts their parents won't know about. It's really not foolproof, but still. This is just disturbing on so many levels.

Happy Birthday

Zack is a great kid. Everyone likes him. He is active in sports. He is musically gifted. He is smart. He has a great sense of humor. He is willing to volunteer in his community and school. He is truly a good kid, despite all my normal gripes LOL I got lucky when I had him.
