"FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Authorities in southwest Florida say a 17-year-old girl pointed a gun at her mother, pistol-whipped her and forced her to drive to a dealership to buy her a used car.

The sheriff's office in Lee County said Monday that the teen has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, among other counts, and was being held at a juvenile detention center. The Associated Press doesn't identify minors charged with juvenile crimes.

According to officials, the mother said she didn't want to press charges because her daughter had been accepted to several Ivy League schools.

Authorities said they decided to arrest the teenager after learning that the gun had been stolen last year. The teen was not charged in that crime."

That is probably a girl who never got disciplined when growing up. Spare the rod - spoil the child
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

Man, that's unbelievable. It's sad that it seems like things have gotten progressively worse..
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

I am glad I do not have kids. My hat is off to all those who raise them properly in a sea of social influences that constantly try to make them do otherwise. That girl is obviously not an example of one who was raised properly, and if she were my kid, she would now wish I had never had kids.

Re: Entitlement mentality

So SOOOO sadly, it just doesn't really surprise me. I mean, it's amazing sometimes what it takes to actually shock us as society anymore!

She'll be a future adult arrest in her ivy-league campus of choice. Hopefully she'll go to law school to spare her parents the legal fees!!

Those schools will drop her like hot rock. She'll be lucky to go to the local community college. No knock on community colleges, I went to one before I went to a 4 year school.

Yeah, the admissions offices at big name schools are pretty well informed these days. I've known people get their acceptance rescinded because of police run-ins. There's never a lack of people waiting to go to Harvard, so those places can pretty much cut loose anyone they want.

What's better is that this story gives us our "kids these days" thread of the week...

However, with schools being the PC havens that they are these days, I bet she gets a full-ride to her choice of Ivies.
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

no way, she used a gun so she is out of the PC world.
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

It's been my experience at work: The higher the educational level (intelligence), then the greater the likelihood that the individual will act like a 2 yr old.
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

Kids today are from the I-generation.
I-POD, I-PAD, I-PHONE, I-wont listen to my parents,I-will call the cops if you smack me, I-dont wanna be successfull.

What a sad society we have greated with political correctness.
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

I do agree that society is not headed in the right direction. However I have to blame the parents (mostly) and not the kids. If you aren't taught right from wrong in the first place how do you really know whats right and wrong? Look at High School aged kids and all you really see is a regurgitation of their parents. They really haven't been alive long enough to form an opinion. You graduate at the age of 18 and until the age of 16 you basically rely on your parents to get everywhere and to get everything. We have parents today who are neglecting their child and starving their pets so they can play PS3 / XBOX.

On the opposite side of the neglect spectrum we have overbearing parents. These people for a lack of better words brainwash their children. They too feel what they are doing is right for raising their family. Look at the Westboro Baptist Church and you will see what I mean. They have little 10yr old kids holding "Pray for more dead soldiers" signs, and when confronted they have no clue what that stuff means.

So there you have it, two complete opposite sides of the spectrum and from what I see neither look too great, Do the best you can NOW as a parent and hope for the best.

One last note, EVERY generation says the next is worst than the last!
 
Re: Entitlement mentality

Really the answer is simple - Time Out. You take time out of your day to whip their ass when they need it. Done deal.

She probably would've just drove down the road doing 20 under the speed limit with the turn signal on the whole time if she got a car.
