Nice read Kevin.

That was me. When I said that I was referring to parenting techniques and parenting philosophies. It didn't cover gross negligence and common sense. Any responsible adult should have seen the signs the kid was involved with drugs and gangs. It doesn't take parenting skills to see that.

Having said that, the vast majority of kids don't get straight A's in school out of the box. It takes a lot of guidance from the parents to get to that point. The parents must have done some things right before it all fell apart.
