Despite all the potential cultural behavior guides that young people are presently exposed to, it seems many are sorely lacking not only in the area of social graces, but also show little awareness of basic civility. The presence, or omnipresence, of parental involvement in their children's lives seems to have had little payoff in terms of positivity. The opposite may even be true:
Imagine, those who are a generation or so removed, sitting for a TV interview, accompanied by a lawyer, and threatening a lawsuit because the prosecuting official revealed the identity of your daughter. You as parents are outraged because your child has been publicly denounced, even though she, with accomplices, has admittedly taunted another child into committing suicide, and then wrote that she didn't care, using obscenities about the dead girl to make her point.
Currently, a set of parents are upset about the posting of their daughter's picture, which was a while ago, and to a limited audience. But they now appear with their daughter, gleaning as much publicity as they can; her face is prominently displayed. If they and their lawyer are trying to drum up sympathy for their little murderer, and are testing the waters for support, I think they'll be disappointed. After all, she's not Tosh.O.
