I went to court today

ANd of course his sentencing was postponed until december 17th, It has been a very emotionally draining day for me, I had to sit and listen to him confess to what he did to my son and it was like he was reading from a script his lawyer gave him, actually everything he said I read in the newspaper, Not once did his parents look at us (AGAIN) I waited for some type of emotion from them when the judge told them she questioned their paenting skills when it came to raising a teenager and accessing boundries.

I told the media that was there I feel the parents should also be charged since it was their neglience that caused their son to get a loaded gun that belonged to the father and kill my son, 14yr olds cant buy weapons for a reason, Im so angry, Im so sick of young lives being lost becuase of stupid adults and children.. Little to late that they have to undergo firearm schooling. only if he had it before, One question I want asked is "WHY" WHY did he feel it necessary to get the gun out..

Sorry about my ranting but I needed to, My head is pounding and its been a non stop crying day and my nerves are shot.. Thank heaven for valium.

I took pictures of Timmy with me and his football medal, the judge cried when she saw them she told me what a handsome young man I had, my husband was upset because she asked what kind of person Timmy was and we still refer to him in the present tense, and she asked if there is a reason we do that and havent we came to realize he is gone? I was a little offended becuase I talk to Timmy everyday like he is here, and I feel his presence.. Spirtual he is with us all the time

Thanks for listening Kim

I dont know what to say....Your story is a parents worst nightmare. Sometimes I think of what I see on the news about things like this and I dont understand how parents such as yourself could make it through. He is your gaurdian angel now, be strong. My heart goes out to you. Yvonne

All I can do is offer you a hug.

The Judge should know better than to question what tense you speak in when referring to your beloved son. To me, that should have been a no-brainer for her.

You are right, children should be taught about firearms from an early age. And even then, their parents should not let them have unsupervised access to weapons.

I am so sorry this has happened to your family.

My husband and I lost our precious son when he was 13. It was a very long time before we stopped talking about him in the present tense. There is no right way or wrong way to grieve. (((hugs))) to you.
