What Todd wrote is exactly how I feel to. If people stopped spending time with there Cellphones, internet, Facebook etc and started spending more time with there kids, things like this can be avoided.

A Coworker of mines kid committed suicide about two years ago. He use to brag about how committed to his job he was and how he worked all the overtime they would ask him to and wouldn't see or spend time with his family. Before his son died he was mad at me for never working overtime and we actually got in an agreement about it. I simply replied, "seeing my 74 year old mom everyday, my wife and my 16 year old daughter is far more important then any job". I'd rather loose my job for refusing overtime then loose a family member and have never been able to spend time with them. Now my coworkers son is gone, what good was all that overtime and impressing the boss now that his son is gone.

Pay attention to your kids, family members etc. Stop letting the teachers , computers and TVs raise them. I guarantee this could of been caught earlier and avoided.
