Also, the young man although certainly immature is not corrupt he'll pay for foolish actions but will look back at the situtation and see where life turned him around. Now I hope the other young man pulls through.

Feb. 10, 2007, 11:41 a.m.Preach, people. I applaud her for teaching her grandson that seriously poor choices lead to seriously bad consequences. I hope, too, that her wisdom and resolve help this young man realize he's done more than ruin his life, he could have permanently incapacitated the other young man, or even killed him. I agree that her decision to make her grandson confess will help him immensely in the long run. With this life change, he could turn out to be very strong and wise himself. I hope that I'm that strong as a mom or grandma.
