This week we saw a string of teenagers being arrested for some horrific crimes. Two brothers age 15 and 17 charged with the murder of Autumn Pasquale, a 17-year-old arrested for the murder of Jessica Ridgeway, a 19-year-old for the murder of a woman and two of her young children. It's got us wondering: What's going on with our teens? But another question it raises is -- what's going on in these homes? I asked that question in my post about the brothers arrested for Autumn Pasquale's murder. I didn't ask in order to place blame solely at the feet of the boys' mother. After all, she turned in her sons in just like Austin Sigg's mother turned him in. But you still have to ask: How does your kid turn out that way? And how responsible are the parents?![]()
