I'm wondering if she has any other accounts, like Tumblr? I thought about it because I didn't even know what Tumblr was until I found out my 15 yr old daughter has an account..maybe she posted pics there?

I totally agree. (We can include those in the myriad of other issues I referenced). It's a rough road for some teens.

It can be, but not always - I have more experience with this than I would prefer. I've got a son finishing his Jr year and has HUGE problems getting school work done and passing classes, not because he has a problem with authority but for a myriad of other reasons. Not having internal...

The mattress in the "other" shed just gave me the chills and the first thought I had was he probably assaulted her out there. Sent from my LG-VS700 using Tapatalk 2

I don't have a link but I recall reading past teachers and peers saying he was really social, polite, and likeable in school, but didn't do the work (which is probably why he landed in continuation). I think his problems with authority began after that and related to LE. Sent from my LG-VS700...

That was my first thought about the braid - maybe a trophy. Not sure his mom would claim it as hers though, as it doesn't seem to me she would defend him to the end if she "knew" he was guilty. I get the impression the shame of what he has done would crush her. Then again, not sure I read his...

I think $850/month is cheap by Bay Area standards. It does seem high for "camping" but I've never gone RV'ing. I'm curious if this RV park is mostly for vacationers or mostly long term tenants like a trailer park. I know my aunt rents out a home in the bay for about $3000. Up here (Sac), I...

LOL! Yes! And the "bros" wear "bro-tanks." Pretty much opposite of a Norte. Sent from my LG-VS700 using Tapatalk 2 ETA: typo

I agree...my artistic son draws all kinds of things and I can't read too much into them. I don't think this drawing is anything sinister. Sent from my LG-VS700 using Tapatalk 2

Here in the Sac Valley, a bit north, I never see Nor Cal in reference to Norte gangmembers..but often trendy white teenagers...see the stickers on LOTS of those lifted trucks, etc. Sent from my LG-VS700 using Tapatalk 2

I agree. I don't think I am naive, but I do not worry constantly about something horrible happening to my child. I would be miserable. As for walking, I grew up in a small community where often a kid would be the only one at the stop and had to walk there. We never worried about it, and parents...

Found it..That's just what I needed! Thanks :)

O/T... Is there a list of acronym anywhere? I'm new and trying to decode them... MOO? BBM? SBM? I figured out some IIRC (If I remember correctly?) TIA!!!

I've heard this is because it is still federally illegal (?) I think that's why the clubs around here (Sac Valley, Ca) have been shut down by the feds. I know some employers won't hire if there are other prescrip drugs in system because of safety issues - I'm guessing same for marijuana.

Really good point about when he comes out, I hadn't considered that. That is the part that may make me reconsider my statement - thank you! I am so sorry your daughter and family had to go through that - it is horrible. My nephew was repeatedly brutally assaulted by a foster child (teen) of...
