DISQUS

I feel so bad for the dad here...Unconditional love is what it is called.

kat333 · 1 year ago

I feel bad for the dad too but perhaps this is what this kid needs. Sometimes tough love is the best.

Carole · 1 year ago

This has got to be one of the hardest things for a parent to do. The men need to be punished for this awful crime. We dont know the reason for the father surrendering his Sons bail and we dont need to know. I only hope that more parents will follow his example and force thier kids to face the consequences of their crmes. Bailing them out of jail is just another slap on the wrist for the crimes they commit until they go to court. Just remember, EVERY criminal is someones child at some point in their life. But, more importantly, so is the victim. No matter who that victim is, or what they have done is irrevelant. A brutal crime has been commited and needs to be punished.

Tough love and unconditional love are not mutually exclusive. This dad is practicing both.

If the kid was involved in a home invasion where a vivtim was pistol whipped and shot, he should be in jail. Screw him.

Carole · 1 year ago

He is in jail. Thanks to his Father for doing the right thing. Would you send your Son back to jail? Like most people, probably not.

proudparent · 1 year ago

I feel bad for the father and the son should realize that his father is a great man even though it hurts he is doing the right thing. I applaud the parent for teaching his son this great lesson he should pay for his crime. I would do the same thing with my children. If my child committed a crime and I knew he was guilty he would have to face the consequences I would support him but he would have to pay..:(

The worst feeling is seeing your child behind bars at the police station. My son and daughter put me through hell as teenagers. I never paid for attorneys, bail, fines or restitution. They did community service and paid themselves. Today they are very respectable citizens and workers.

Joe Dirt · 1 year ago

I think his father is going through more hell than the kid is. I have the utmost of respect for a man that does the RIGHT thing, rather than the easy thing.

I FEEL FOR MY SON AND MY EXHUSBAND WE HAVE TRYED TO BRING UP OUR CHILDREN RIGHT AND ABOUT RESPECTING OTHERS YES DOES STUPID THINGS HE JUST GOT MIXED IN THE WRONG KIDS OR ADULTS THAT DAY AND HAPPENED TO BE AT WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME AND YES HE WILL PAY FOR HIS MISTAKE BUT HE WASN'T THE ONE DOING THE PISTOL WHIPPING OR THE SHOOTING. I JUST NEEDED TO GET THAT OUT. MY EXHUSBAND IS A GOOD MAN

concerned parent · 1 year ago

Tough love to make him pay for his mistakes yes.
Tough love by throwing a child out at eighteen because he's
old enough to be on his own with no money, job or place to
live is a parents cope out!!

sress24 · 1 year ago

WITH MY BROTHER SO I DIDN'T END UP IN HOSPITAL AND WHEN HE GOT INTO TROUBLE I WAS HERE IN CALI. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LOVE MY CHILDREN ANY LESS.

sress24 · 1 year ago

OH YEAH EVEN THOUGH PYSICALLY I AM ON THE WEST COAST MY HEART AND SOUL IS IN NEW HAMPHIRE

concerned parent · 1 year ago

And yes, your ex is a good man and your son is a good person also but just needed a bit more guidence some
kids grow up faster than others and others need more time
and direction over and over again until they get it.

sress24 · 1 year ago

sbazz · 1 year ago

I have known Steven for along time, and I don't think that he is a bad kid, but he always wanted to be a gangster and now he is. Once again we need to find a way to show these kids that you become what you think. That being tough and cool and thinking that you are all that leads to trouble most of the time. How do we do that as a community, when do we all start helping kids to make better choices??? I wish that I could come up with some answers, too many kids doing stupid things..................................

sress24 · 1 year ago

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR THEM THAT THEY TAKE THE RIGHT PATH IF NOT THAT THEY FIND THE RIGHT PATH PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS AND THEY TAKE THE GIUDENCE THAT PARENTS TRY TO INSTILL IN THEM SOMES TIME THERE IS A REASON BEHIND IT

stress24u · 1 year ago

HE ISN'T A GANGSTER HE HAS COUSINS IN LOWELL THAT WE WOULD VISIT ONCE IN AWHILE AND THAT IS WHERE HE SAW GANGTER ACTIVITY SO YOU NEED TO KNOW THE WHOLE LIFE STORY AND YOU DON'T

hollywood · 1 year ago

i cant believe what is going on with all this. there was more than just stevie at that house and why is his name being the only one in the papers?! and his picture the only one in the papers?! when he didnt even do the pistol whipping & he wasnt the one who shot the kid!? if you want some drama why dont you go to the real source. stevie im thinking of you. keep your head up love you!

stress24u · 1 year ago

THE WHOLE FAMILY AND FRIENDS IS GOING THROUGH HELL AND STEVIE DOES HAVE REMORSE WHAT CHOICES AND MISTAKES HE HAS MADE

concerned parent · 1 year ago

Yes he does have remorse. If you felt like a single parent you should have demanded halp from your ex. he will have to live with this the rest of his life that he wasn't there enough. None of us are perfect parents and there are no perfect kids but we can't give up or run from the problems we have to keep trying which it sounds like you did but why didn;'t your husband try more with him. The word is there was a lot of favortism at the home for the other son which could explain alot of Steve's crying out for attention all the time. He was a great kid until high school, seemed to be on the right track and all.

STEViES GiRL · 1 year ago

I'm proud of this father.Great example.

oaktown · 1 year ago

The father set the kid up for a longer prison sentence by sending him back to jail. Statistically, a defendant out on bail has a better chance of a lighter sentence or being found "not guilty" than someone who remains incarcerated throughout the trial. Or this may all be part of an upcoming plea bargain where the DA is insisting on some jail time. He is only 18 years old and he will be brutalized in prison. If he were my kid I would get him into a treatment facility, enroll him in school, and have him do volunteer work prior to his trial. He will be filled with rage when he gets out of prison after what will happen to him in there.

STEViES GiRL · 1 year ago

ok once again you no nothing about this situation.. i was there, i saw and herd everything that went on at court. his family wanted him to start his time now then rather have him go in like a year from now or when ever this trial will be done, and have him get out a year later. so they made the right choice! and i dont really care about what you would do if Stevie was your kid because hes not. and everyones going back in 2 weeks anyways. =] and also when he gets out, his family's gonna help him get a job, im gonna take him in if he needs a place to stay, and someone will help him with getting a car. so hes not gonna be more angry, he will be perfectly fine!

stress24u · 1 year ago

Loving Family Friend · 1 year ago

First off the reporter for this story is an idiot. In court, Steve Sr wouldnt give a comment, nor would the attorney, so the idiot put his own spin on the situation without the facts. As far as this whole thing is concerned, this blog is feeding off of speculation and judgemets, judgment against the parents which is so innaccurate it isnt even funny. I happen to know Both Steve and Irene, and I dont know two parents who have tried harder with their Kids than Steve and Irene. I know that Steve Jr put Both of them though alot of grief. Yeah he got thrown out, but I will say this, he had chance after chance after chance. He is the one who made the coices that got him thrown out, and it certainly wasnt because he was 18 and should go live on his own, Jr could have made many many other coices other than get mixed up with these guys and get in the trouble he did. And those tears coming Down Seniors face, are coming from the most authentic man I know, those arent the tears of a man who has favoritism for one son or the other, they are the tears of a man who is suffering because his Son is suffering, they are from a man who is still hurting from his recent divorce from his wife of 21 years, and of a man who loves his son so much that he would throw himself in front of a truck if it meant it would save his sons life. Keep the Faith Steve and Irene Everything will work out the way it is supposed to. Please ignore the ignorant and negative posts here, there are plenty of us out here who know the truth about everything that has been and is going on, and thats all that matters. Steve is a wonderful young man who strayed off the path, I will keep him and your family in my prayers. Good Luck and God Bless

stress24u · 1 year ago
