Mom4LF and readingfor fun, thank you for your input. What Mom said was all the response that was needed and it would have ended there. reading, you made it clear that what I said was important and not an attack on anyone. I am deleting the previous comments I have made and putting an end to my part of this thread. I hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe 4th of July and that all of us remember our service people around the world and give thanks for having the country we have.

Actually it was Not about this boy. It waS a totally different incident ON APRIL 11th so almost 3 months ago involving a totally different vehicle and that incident was totally different from what I said in my post. SO OBVIOUSLY you don't know what you are talking about. And the point of that one was that this had happened and I couldn't get a State police officer to stop even though I tried to flag him down as he sat at a stop sign , and that the town cop with radar was not where it usually was in town. So there you go assuming you know something that you do not. Know what you are talking about before you post.
END OF DISCUSSION

| this entire thing is just stupid....I don't care if the person is a kid ot not. So it is ok for a kid to drive like he is in Nascar? Once again if someone is endangering the well being of another they should be called out period. So it would be ok if he was driving drunk cause he is just a kid right? That is pretty much what you are stating. Just more stupid people trying to justify something that someone does wrong. It drives me crazy that everyone keeps saying "so you are perfect" or " I guess you have never made mistakes. There is a big difference in making mistakes in life that only effect that lone individual and decisions that can harm others because of what you decide to do. That was my problem when I read this blog. Everyone needs to think about what they do in life when it could harm someone else. Things like driving drunk, reckless driving, speeding (and I mean really speeding) also things like smoking, drugs or being a crappy parent. Things that effect others are the most important things to make good decisions on. Those are the things you may only get one chance to make the right decision on. You make these sort of choices and go the wrong way you may not have another chance. That is why what happened here was so important. To just make sure the kid understood that now while he can make a smarter choice about how to drive this is the time to think a little about what he is doing in life. Some claim he has been doing that since so that is good to hear. If my kid hangs out with this kid I won't have to be as concerned. At the end of the day that is all the first blogger was trying to do.

CitizenUSA, he is a kid, kids make mistakes, hes obviously been pulled over, the issue should be resolved, just because a young driver makes mistakes a few times doesn't mean it will end in tragedy! you say well how about i report him, when you've already tried!!! " flashed my lights , pulled off the side of the road and hung out the window waving my arms to get the attention of a state trooper who was stopped at a stop sign at Peach Basket Rd to report a driver who had just run 2 cars off the road AND almost ran into the back of me coming down RT 12. I wanted to let him know this driver was doing excessive speed heading into town. Don't you know that the trooper ignored me, and there wasn't one Felton cop in sight all the way through town. Apparently flashing one's lights is only good for attracting Felton Police and gang initiations. " THAT is a quote from another blog that you said, it is obviously talking about the same boy, you are not just tryin to notify the family or however your tryin to justify it, because you said right there that you tried to report him. i think you are blowing this up too much, hes a kid, sorry everyone cant be as perfect as you, you seem to have to much time on your hands to go and find info and do all this over a kid. let it go!
(That quote was taken from the blog about the speedtrap sign, first page of it, said by CitizenUSA)

| Seems like everyone is getting a little out of control and evil now. I guess this is why blogging is not good and I will not be doing it ever again! You loose what the person is really saying. No one said the person/family doesn't hold the young man responsible for poor judgement. No one made excuses for the individual at all. They just wanted everyone to know this person wasn't a monster and it is not a habbit for bad driving. All I wanted everyone to know is that it would have just been nice if the parents could have known or even addressed the teenager before putting a notice online so they could have addressed it as a family matter. (Even giving the teenager a chance to say something to Citizen USA & their daughter, like sorry or something) As I stated in blog earlier this person watches their speed a lot more carefully (even before this notice came out) and wouldn't jeopordize the lives of anyone. I know he and the family wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him nor others. They are good people regardless of this incident or the blogging tone of these emails. If I said anything that may have hurt others, that was definitely not my intent. Take care everyone. Have a Happy & Safe 4th. Last edited on Thu Jul 2nd, 2009 02:44 pm by sunstarsmoon

| that was my point no one made a monster of anyone. You need not be so defensive. This person was trying to make the road a better place to drive. I for one will call someone else out if it can hurt me or my family. You seem very worried about telling us what a good kid he is but when some teen dies because of bad driving it doesn't matter how good of a person the other person may have been. Many teen deaths have occured in this area try to defend the person who was to blame in those incidents. Maybe they were good kids too. It doesn't matter how good they are if their families overlook what they have done or make excuses for them. I know accidents happen all the time but there is a big difference in making a mistake and just driving reckless. I hope the kid in this case has learned more than you. Hope he is not taking advice from you on the situation cause then this kid will only learn to make excuses for bad decisions instead of being defensive and not seeing that someone was trying to help. If it were a kid I knew I would be thankful that it was brought to my attenion instead of trying to put the focus on if they were a good kid. You also stated they were responsible but I guess not if they are driving this way...

Readingforum: No one is missing the point nor making excuses for anyone!!! Nor is this a pattern for the family nor that teenager! You know no one nor nothing about them. There was no confrontation just facts stated that if they new everything about the person driving the truck they should have contacted the parents involved. That would be helping everyone involved! Also, if someone is making someone out to be a monster when they are not they have every right to be defended. This is a free country! Some of our families have loved ones that fight for that right! With that have a great 4th!

| I think you are missing the point. The reason this was started in the first place was to get this kid to be careful not to be confrontational. It is not Citizens place to go to this kid and correct him. Maybe if people would stop and look at the behavior instead of making excuses for the kid and telling everyone how wonderful he is that would be better. Citizen was not wrong for posting on this topic as far as I am concerned I would not want my kid on Rt 12 just waiting for an accident to happen. Maybe she will look out for this person from now on. Noone said this person was a bad kid just that they need to be smarter about the way they drive. Going on here and defending them makes the situation worse. You have to teach someone to own up to their mistakes not get defensive about them. When someone gets behind the wheel and drives reckless, at high speeds, or even drunk it is everyones business. Like it or not......teach the kid to be responsible own what they do and do better. Maybe this is a pattern for this family since you stated that this is a family matter. Which is a really dumb thing to say. It clearly is not. You run me off the road or I need to pull over because you were driving crazy then it is my matter as well.

Well Citizen USA, I did read what you had written and maybe you should re-read your entry. You did a lot of back ground search but were a coward when it came to confronting the individual or parents. Although you state you care for everyone's well being and safety including yourself and your family. However, that is neither here nor there now since you thought it was your obligation to tell the universe everything about the truck/individual. I can also tell you that the individual nor the family was affected by YOUR blogging concerns! This is a family matter, not the matter of some blogger that say they are worried and post it instead of confronting the parents, driver, police, etc. This person is NOT a bad individual nor does this individual have less thought of other human's lives or their own. This person is a caring, thoughtful, well respected, and mature young adult that helps his family unconditionally. Like I said previously your concern with speeding is valid. However, I know you must be perfect and do not ever catch yourself going over the speed at all or doing other things that may be construde by others as wrong. Since you call yourself Citizen USA you should direct your time and effort to joining a volunteer program or the Military instead of worthless blogging!!! This way you could actually be spending your time more useful and helpful in the community and for the USA!

I understand your concern, I do know for a fact the young adult has slowed down. However, I also know that this is a very responsible young adult. The individual would not want to cause harm to ANYONE. The person would NOT intentionally run people off the road!!! I would like to also state that it is a shame that if you had dug deep enough to find out about the vehicle, the past owner and the current owner and you were this deeply concerned for everyone you should have went directly to the parents/teenager ASAP rather than spreading information all across the globe.
