Y’all ain’t gonna believe this

You can't expect normal behavior from less than normal people sorry. As time goes on,and if you haven't you'll need to protect yourself and your family.

Shawns mother asked me not to give it to shawn because she didnt want him having a working gun. Shawns mother did sign to help them get those boys. She remarried and moved away soon after they got the boys. Lots of folks around here were not happy about that. They did sell their other house and move back here. Her new husband is a very good man but I've tried to talk to him about this and he says his hands are tied and he stays out of it.  Some folks recenty opened a new restaurant out here. Lots of motorcyclists frequent the place. The boys went up on the hwy and placed big rocks across the hwy. Just like this mess, they swept it under the rug. Keep in mind were on the west side of the county and the PD is on the east.

Thad has the DHS, DFS, or Sheriff gotten any further results in controlling Nathanial, or is he still terrorizing your neighborhood?

I'm wondering if your hole dang County Government has thinking problems!!!

two questions...

The guy from KS who got shot at called last night to say the police left him a voice mail saying that they dropped the case and if he wants his truck fixed to call a lawyer. So much for this new Sheriff.

Well, in my humble opinion, those kids should never have been placed in that home. Obviously Shawn and his wife were not equipped to handle such a job. Kids from broken homes, especially junkies for parents will need a level of upbringing that is above and beyond the level of normal. The state/county, whoever should certainly known better! All my uneducated humble opinion.

But, all that being said, it doesn't help now. I hate to say it, but this is not going to end well. Those kids need professional help, and they are not going to get it where they are at. Best would be a full time, live in professional 'parenting coach' to help with the raising, but that will never happen due to cost. next best thing remove them and institutionalize them, for the sake of the community, the kids, and Shawn and his wife

torturing animals is a very bad sign! That poor couple is in waaaay over their head.

It’s been quiet in Busch AR for the past few weeks. We just voted in a new Sherriff so maybe something will happen now.

Brace your self for this but Shawn told me he locked the guns in a cabinet and then put a padlock on the door to the room and then showed Nathanial where the keys were and told him to never again get a gun out without permission.

Because he's 8 years old is no excuse. The authorities are either lazy and dropped the ball, or they are telling people this while they gear up to blind side him into custody. Hopefully it is the latter, and soon before anyone is hurt or killed. Hopefully Nathanial can get the proper help he definitely needs.

A couple years back Shawn asked me to come help him mow some stuff. When I got there the oldest boy had a little dog tied up and stabbing him with a stick. I told Shawn to make him stop. Shan told him no in a manner of absolutely no authority. The kid kept at it.. I snatched the stick and tilt Shawn and the boy that if I ever got word of the boy stabbing or doing anything to a dog I’d have the dog and the state would have the kids. I didn’t have to deal with them for a couple years after that. Another neighbor came over the night of the shooting and said he found a dodge key and lighter on his property. I knew the kid had stolen his moms car key. I saw Shawn drive down our road so I flagged him down and asked if it was his. I asked if they were looking for the kid and Shawn told me that they were just out for a drive. Minutes later I heard the shooting from my property across the road. I told Jenn I was gonna go see what was going on.she went with me. We saw Nathan in the ditch and I was going after him but Jenn said let’s go get Shawn. By then the cars had been shot and police on the way. Shawn lied to me and Jenn or I could have easily been shot.
Jenn said the guy finally got a call back but can’t get any money because of an investigation. Everyone else involved is told they can’t do anything because the kid was 8

So heart breaking to have to watch things like this go on. I don't wish this on anyone.The world needs a "bad guy" to take the responsibility and provide the tough love the kid needs. Cause without it as Hurbert said we will all see it another sad story on TV.
