In the article "Lost baby born into troubled home life

The Arizona Republic " It states "Gabriel's mother, Elizabeth Johnson, 23, is a product of the Boston foster-care system. "
It irrates me to no end when I see these kinds of things. I personally beleive that we are a product of our own making. I came from a pretty bad background, I ran away from home when I was 14 and got married at 15... I am 31 now, have 3 great kids and still married to the same man. Even though my parents were not great parents alcholics and my dad like to use his hands to for more than a pat on the back, we are now closer than we have ever been. I have never been arrested never been in trouble. I could definately use my past as an excuse for my present behaviors however that would be all it is AN EXCUSE....PEOPLE HAVE CHOICES, PEOPLE MAKE THIER OWN DECISIONS. My father-in-law was also a product of the foster care system, he was beaten, abused nearly killed, however he grew up to be be highly respected i the Army has since retired, raised two great children and also never been in trouble with the law.
It makes me sick to see people find excuses for bad behavior, I mean are we suppose to feel sorry for EJ, because life sux??? Personally I don't cause 9 times out of 10 life sux for everyone, so does that mean we all have an excuse to do stupid crap like she has done?
