He was living with his grandparents, was attending alternative school, and had already had the cops called out a few months ago for aggressive behavior. Sounds like several of the skids I've read about on here. I'll be damned if I EVER raise grandchildren, outside of parental death on both sides.

My question for the grandparents is, why didn't you call his mother or father and say "Come Get Him. I can't do this. He is out of control. If you don't come get him, I am contacting Social Services to pick him up."

And this is why I tell my kids that unless they are 100% sure they are READY to be parents they better not knock anybody up because this lady here is NOT taking care of anyones kids.

He sounds exactly like people SD hangs out with. They walk all over their parents then they think its ok to do it to everyone. This grandma was old school and just decided it didn't matter. No bullshit in her house. I bet they will find out that he attempted to attack her and possibly assaulted her in the past.

--- "I'm not saying he was aggressive, but if he was, I don't understand how being aggressive but unarmed would justify her using deadly force," Hoffman (kid's dad) said.---

A 19yo boy being aggressive but unarmed...towards a 74yo woman. I don't think a wooden spoon would have been useful in this case.

There's more to this story than what is printed in the article.
