Laura....oooookay...yep, just blame it ALL on his mom. How ridiculous is that? I personally know Ms. Bennett and I know she did the best job she could raising 2 boys without a father. You have no idea what kind of a woman Ms. Bennett is so you shouldn't be so quick to be accusatory.

So, is this is, the kid is gone, and the local news talks more about the gas prices, which we can do nothing about, and the mosquito's ... and everyone wonders why all this is happening over and over again. WIFR, you have the power to make people see, yet you do little to make it hit home. Why? I guess everyone is right, everyone turns the other cheek!

I think if Chad's parents may have been more interested in being a PARENT and not a FRIEND...then maybe this tragedy wouldn't have happened. I knew Mrs. Bennet a while back...and from what I saw, she allowed Chad to hang with these bangers at HER house that the taxpayers paid for! Chad is the perfect son she told the news...lol! why don't you all just log onto chad's myspace page....and just look at her perfect son! :::sigh:::: What a senseless tragedy.
