    According to an article in The Spectrum, the mother was quoted saying how “perfect” her daughter is and her leaving home is due to depression. Wow, sounds like mom needs a reality check. Again, this young lady wants what she wants no matter the cost. That’s how spoiled children behave. Not saying her parents are bad, but this young lady will be 18 soon and mom & dad will have no say so. Parents, don’t be fooled. Even “perfect” children make really bad choices. They need to be held accountable and not rescued.

    Betty, how do you consider yourself to be an expert on this situation? Are you a counselor with credentials? Do you have any background on this situation besides reading a few articles online? If not then that’s a very ignorant thing to say. I do agree with you on one point though. People should be held accountable for their actions. However, it’s sometimes a good idea to find out why people are acting out in the first place instead of throwing out assumptions. You should think about that…

    I can vouch for Betty’s expertise.
