re: How colossal of a frick up are you as a parent if your 15 year old goes to rehab?

Yep. Celebrity. Made a lot of movies that took him away from home for very extended period of time. Basically an absentee parent who only got involved when the kid got in trouble, then took the soft approach and sent him off for strangers to deal with.

Moral of this tragedy: Be involved in your kids lives. Know where there are and who their friends are. Sacrifice your time. Kids may not like your rules and restrictions, but they will thank you later.

how is this any different than someone that deploys with the military, offshore work or any number of jobs that require long term travel?
it's incredible the people here that presume to know the first thing about how rob reiner raised his kids. the other two seem to be fantastic people but let's ignore that

I know right. I mean it’s not like they were killed by their own son or anything!

do you have any concept of how mental illness works?
nevermind
you seem incapable of rational thought

Ironic since the people here trying to establish motive are the only ones using rational thought.

And I thought he was a drug addict? Now it’s mental illness? You know what can induce addiction and mental illness? Trauma!

The flippant lack of curiosity about what led a kid to kill his parents in a violent manner is very odd I think.

I happen to know a person (not well, my friend’s brother in law) who killed his biological mom when he was 14. He was being abused sexually while his dad was away on business. He spent a few years in mental institution and was let out when he was 18.

you're not curious about anything. you want to drag a guy that was just murdered (along with his wife) because he said hurty words about donald trump. that's it. quit pretending you're digging into some mystery scooby doo

---

And you want to absolve a possible pedo who terrorized his kid which led to drug abuse and mental illness because he said mean things about Trump.

See how easy that was?

Yet you probably think Trump is involved in epstien

Yeah, you don’t know that.

Rob went off on Twitter because he was a good parent? Read what you just wrote

millions of dollars and it’s a high privilege titty baby.

Like Goose has pointed out, being rich isn't the cause. Raising kids with no effective consequences for bad or undesirable behavior is. This behavior is pretty consistent among even lower middle class households, but is just as prevalent (in a different way, with 16 year olds in Mustang GTs) in 500k+ homes. Most non Asian kids have been high privilege titty babies for decades in metro areas, at least, for 20 years.

No. You really aren’t bright. He was at his wits end after endless money and effort to fix his kid.

If drugs caused kids to murder their parents then you would see endless parental deaths in this country. Not to mention the interviews with this guy. Even sober he was screwed up.

Screwed up + drugs = someone that could potentially kill somebody

If being simply screwed up caused kids to murder their parents... there'd be endless parent deaths in this country.

There's a lot more than a single thing that went wrong. I think everyone can agree on that. Also, have ya ever heard of drug induced psychosis? If not, I'll bet dollars to dime bags you will soon if this goes to trial.
