I am so very sorry. I was praying so hard that this would turn out differently. God bless Devin's family and I pray that they are given the Lord's Comfort in this heartbreaking time.
His father not only bears the onus of being caught for his misdeeds but also the guilt of leading wolves to his beautiful child. What misery he will have for making such bad decisions with his life.
I wasn't being snarky. I am disgusted with parents that do not discipline their children when they are in the wrong...it's really a form of abuse. It puts those kids at a distinct disadvantage in life as they get older. I really think that a strong communal message sent to the parents of those kids along with a very visible police presence would go a long way in encouraging better behavior by all. I've lived in all kinds of neighborhoods... wealthy and working class...and the best ones were where everyone knew each other. In those neighborhoods, there wasn't a lot of misbehavior because the kids knew that everyone had an eye on them. By the way, I am a single mother of a 17 year old boy so I am not just preaching...I practice.
"They're brainstorming ways to keep the neighborhood's roving packs of curfew-ignoring teenagers busy." Really? How about prevailing upon the parents of those said teens to impose their own curfews and give consequences when their children disobey? It seems like that community has larger problems than a firebug in its midst (I hope that person is caught very quickly, though).

I cannot even imagine losing a child to anything...much less for something illegal I was doing or did. How do those parents even breathe a breath now?

I knew there was more to this case then we were being told! The whole thing was just too weird for it to have been a random home invasion.
