Or the Oregroanian, for that matter.<BR/><BR/>The real story, only obliquely referred to, is that the kid is out on the streets purely because of parental abuse: he wanted to party all day and all night, and his parents - who work in an ER and have doubtless seen many times over what comes of that lifestyle - had the audacity to tell him that what he was doing was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Imagine how crushing these repeated blows to his self-esteem must have been.MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1127252153944359542005-09-20T14:35:00.000-07:002005-09-20T14:35:00.000-07:00I live in "Homeless Heaven" Eugene.

A lot of these poor homeless kids on the street are there because they don't want to follow even the modest of rules. I say put them to work in youth camps. Simply hanging out on the street should not be an option for underage kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1127242800618141342005-09-20T12:00:00.000-07:002005-09-20T12:00:00.000-07:00His 18 yr old friend should be arrested and charge...His 18 yr old friend should be arrested and charged with kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1127239780091209472005-09-20T11:09:00.000-07:002005-09-20T11:09:00.000-07:00I was going to ask if he was legally emancipated? ...I was going to ask if he was legally emancipated? You know who else lived in his car with his wife? Robert Kiyosaki. Author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The difference? Kiyosaki and his wife still both worked, and lived in the car to save money to start one of his multi-million dollar franchises. For some reason, I don't see Greg's "rave syndicate" as a viable option to hard work. And the arrogant attitude this numbnut has about it makes me want to kick his ass. Panhandlers are a real plague. They are rampant here in Salem. Last year, a woman went to one of the favored panhandling spots, and held up a sing next to the bums saying "don't give these people money" The local liberal rag, the Statesman Urinal, was predictably biased in their reporting about it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work Daniel!Gunslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954431264355780241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1127231365160732742005-09-20T08:49:00.000-07:002005-09-20T08:49:00.000-07:00This is a child!

What this "reporter" should have done is turn the child in to the police and let his parents know where he is. But the wonderfull city of Eugene, embrace their homeless even more than PDX. And Eugene has more agressive pan handlers I have ever experienced. Send the child home to his parents!The Cheezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127053345950370869noreply@blogger.com
