This whole ordeal is a circus. For one, this kid lives in a household where his parents have a great marriage (15+ years) and the picture in the paper shows him with the stripper in front of a painting of the last supper (classic!). Now I wouldn't hire a stripper for my 16 year old, but I'm pretty sure that I don't want the government telling me how to raise my damn kids either, and it's not like this particular family seems too out of whack when it comes to their child's security, values, and responsibilities. Why not arrest the mother who shoots dope in front of her kids?
