A horrible picture has unfolded here about a criminal "underbelly" of homeless teens wandering the valley.  They stay in and out of "drug houses" selling and using and committing criminal acts along the way.  Acts that we now know include kidnapping and cold blooded murder.  Now apprehended, one calls out to his parents "do something."  There is absolutely nothing they can do for their son.  He is out of their grasp as a child and they can protect him no more, if they ever really did to begin with.  Personally, I doubt it.  All these parents can do now is attend the trial and see their sons through a whole new lens, ours.  Maybe they'll recognize a little bit of themselves too.  After all, these kids didn't become calloused killers overnight.  They had to have some help.  Help like only really crappy parents can give.  No curfews, no consequences, no moral compass in place.  We'll see no remorse.  They're incapable of feeling sorrow or regret for anyone other then themselves.
