Police: Man broke into 12 cars in 2 hours, including police car

@Layla37- The family did recognize the addiction though. He voluntarily checked himself into rehab last fall. Unfortunately, he then checked himself out 6mo early. Since he was over 18 his dad couldn't prevent it.

Butch54...good points you have made. @itjustme..I undertand where your coming from but blaming the parents is a fallback comment (no offense) sometimes it is a parenting or shall we say a ( how we were brought up ) problem. @ kedougan..I;m sorry that this is your family and I do hope he gets help. I know what its like to have a family member fall in love or under a spell of a controlled substance for 20+ yrs and saw first hand the distruction. You say he came from a supportive, well educated family and successful family. I've seen this happen and it was my brother, parents succesful, well educated and very supportive and because of that my father wasn't around much...busy working and being a provider. Mom was busy being a mom and running us to sports (of many) and running PTA, making dinner, helping with homework and holding down a job. With that said she never saw the drug use, the curiosity. It's starts small and blows up big. My brother got involved with METH, Speed, Pills and god only knows, I have seen the devil in my brother and the fear of what would happen to him. We has a supportive family tried so hard to get him help. We were told 35,000$ for a good treatment center. The moral of the story...he needs to want help to ask for help and get help. @ itsjustme...parents have so much on their plate and not all prents are bad or wrong. some just give to much support and love and ignore the signs. Some just raise their kids on drugs and are junkies themselves. Either way, we all have a choice and its starts with the first. JUST SAY NO..we are responsible for our own choices and decision making.

This is my cousin. I have read several comments blaming this on the parents and family. He has had a VERY supportive family his entire life. His parents are very successful. His other cousins and I are all college graduates. He did this to himself. Please quit blaming this on our family.

Stupid as stupid goes,crack head all the way

What is the explanation for the children involved in church, school activities, with parent that are strong in guiding and educating. Any good Basic Living course teaches you to put the responsibility where it belongs. With the person that committed the action. To put the blame in the hands of the parent just gives them another excuse to fall back on. It falls right in there with telling the Judge you made a mistake. No you didn't. You planned it all. The only mistake was thinking you couldn't get caught.

Butch, the point I was making was that parents these days do not actually do any parenting of their kids, therefore the kids are learning the wrong things by the wrong people. If parents step in and do some parenting when the kids are young, then maybe, just maybe, kids will go back to knowing whats right and whats wrong and learn a little respect. But then again, I'm just dreaming I guess. LOL.

I love it when people make others responsible for others action. Parents responsible for a 20 year old's thinking. Don't think so. That would call for being able to control a persons thought process. We haven't advanced that far yet. That type of thinking is what keeps the hillbilly mentality alive and well here. He got there by his own thinking he alone is responsible for his actions. That's right. Time to pay the piper.

Run with the wrong crowd, make bad choices - pay the piper!

katiesmom, ask his parents why this happened. It all starts at home.

I hate to see this kind of thing happen. Hayden was a student in my English class in 8th grade. Back then, he was so full of potential. He was a great athlete with a super personality. Academically, he was doing well. It saddens me to see things like this happen to former students. You just never know how life will turn out. I wish him the best with his fight to get sober. Addiction is terrible and makes people do horrible things.
