This from yesterday’s life section of the Knoxville News-Sentinel. I do not receive the newspaper and only purchase the Sunday edition. Every morning I get to my computer about 5:30 a.m. and check the news of the day, throughout the late afternoon and evening I check online for any updates and Breaking news.
However, Yesterday, I simply drove out and got my paper edition. When I saw this story, I said Why is this newsworthy? I began to read the story and couldn’t believe this irresponsible parent. I wanted to ignore it, but was faced with it, at church and the soccer fields yesterday, when I appeared for a short time as a guest on talk radio and then a buddy of mine called me while I was waiting for my daughters soccer game to start this evening and he said, “You have to post about that story.”
I am a native Knox Countian, I am not a native Southwest Knox Countian. You know the part between the City of Knoxville and the Town of Farragut. I always wonder why I get such a hard time from my family and friends in the area of Knox County where I came from (BTW, it ain’t Halls) for having moved to West Knox County in 1992.
This is the exact reason, why West Knoxvillians get such a bum rap. The things that are amazing to me is if you are a parent that allowed your student to attend this party and were aware of the type of party that it was, shame on you. If you are a parent that has one of the four boys and you knew your sons role was to be a 15 year old Chippendale, you should have your parent license taken away from you. Oh, I forgot we do not have parent license.
As for this mom that would say “If I could have done it bigger, I would” Give me a break. Where is the father? Surely, there is one sane person around this woman and her daughter.
