I responded to a call for a family violence in progress. The notes of the call stated that the mother was fighting with her 16 year old son.
I arrived on the scene and located the mother. She advised me that she found her son passed out in the hallway and next to him was an empty bottle of alcohol. He was so intoxicated that he passed out, so dad took him into his bedroom. He was very combative with his parents, but when I got there he was asleep in his bedroom.
I continued to talk with mom and tried to explain that there wasn't anything we could do for her. I advised her to contact Social services and see if they can give her advice. She told me that she already talked to them and they told her the only way they could help her is if she signed a form that says she is "an unfit parent." She didn't want to do that because they would take all of her kids away. (Here is where she makes a great statement)
She stated, "That is ridiculous, I am not an unfit parent, he is an unfit kid."
I had the hardest time keeping a straight face after this one. I wonder why this lady is having so many problems.
You can't make this stuff up.

That's really sad. And her statement shows why our teens, this generation, behaves the way that they do. Grow up and set some rules, give "good attention" to your kids, and love them. It might be hard but this is your child. I am shocked you didn't say anything. I am sure it was hard.
