These parents need to attend AA immediately. I'm almost afraid to look them up on case search.

I know this family and these acquisition, have most definatly been blown out of proportion. I saw the 14 year old in the mall on Saturday and she appeared fine, no marks or bruises. This is just another case of out of control teens that will say and do anything to get what they want or need. The 14 year old hangs with a bunch of pot heads. So go figure. It doesn't take a Ph.D to see the red flags. The teen needs help and so do her parents.

My daughter at 14 would stand on one day old carpeting and pour soda into it while stating me in the face just to watch for a reaction. Been there had many of the same things happen before Social Services finally put her in foster care. She did the same crap to the foster family. If it would pi$$ off an adult, that was the next thing to do, unless she could think of something that would pi$$ us off more. Glad that part of my life is behind me.

Since both parents were arrested, where is the 14 year old now?

Article says there were 2 witnesses whose accounts matched the victim's. I have knowledge of the parents; we no longer associate with them due to their out of control drinking and fighting. No surprise that it's now turned towards the daughter. If she now has issues, it's no wonder, with all she's been through and seen in her life. Ask the older daughter!

The police said she showed signs consistent with the attack. Plus two witnesses confirmed her story.

The courts will decide.

I wish someone maybe like a teacher or school counselor or some other caring adult could get the child into a mentoring program like Big Sisters. There is a Salisbury location.

Now this infuriates me. How disgusting. Nice role models. Drunks. Blame the victim. If she is hanging out with potheads, maybe its because she has no real family and they have excepted her into their group. As for the parent with the teen that spills soda on the carpet, there is something much deeper there. A screwed up child just does not appear as a teenager. My guess is there are deep issues stemming from childhood and pent up rage. Probably molested. Sociopaths are created from nurture more so than nature, unlike psychopaths.

ok well im one of the children from this as you say messed up family... and sorry to say as much as i love my little sister she is over the top out of control! My parents cant control this little girl as much as they try.. and there is no molestation in my family thank you very much! And NO sociopaths or psychopaths in the family either soo take your comments else where. My step mother and father are very loving parents and my little sister likes to LIE alot and or over exaggerate every little thing. she has been known in the past to smack her mmother and father just because she gets grounded for doing something wrong. this littl egirl is not abused in the slightest bit !

Lying is sociopathic behaviour. And just remember Big Sister, you can still love your sister but you can also make it clear to her, you will not tolerate her lying.
