Son's friend stabbed. Kids these days... (1 Viewer)

A kid that wrestled with my son was stabbed by another kid my son was friends with in grade school/middle school. Looks to be a drug deal gone bad. Was life flighted to the local trauma hospital and had to undergo surgery to stop internal bleeding. We are friends with his parents and went to the hospital to see him today after surgery. Man oh man did it tear me up to see this young man in such bad shape.

We are talking 20-21 year old guys. My son was gravitating towards kids he shouldn't have been until wrestling became such a big part of his life in high school. Felt like I could have been looking at my own son if he had made different choices.

The lack of respect for life just amazes me. These kids want to live the thug life and don't realize that there is no future in that.

Not really much of a point to the post but to vent a bit. This really ####ed myself and my wife up this weekend. :(

 
Sorry to hear. Being a parent is hard. Hope your son's friend gets better physically and learns from this.

 
Wow. So sorry to hear. I hate hearing of such violence of any kind toward people, but from a kid? That's a whole different level of wow. :( Best wishes to your son's friend in his recovery, and hopefully the other one gets serious punishment and therapy.

I hope the kid is OK.

Was he a Shark or a Jet?
Lol. More like Latin Kings and Crips now a days.

The young man will be ok. When I saw him in ICU he said that my son told him he was going to straighten up or he was going to kick his ### next time. I'm curious to see how it plays out with the police. The story is the stabee was selling a bag of something to the stabber. Buyer tried to steal unstead of paying for it and they started fist fighting and the buyer was losing and pulled out a knife and stabbed him twice in the chest. Kind of sounds like self defense a bit. No police on the scene as the guy was rushed to the hospital by some friends.

From a good loving family with both parents very involved. The mom said she had just kicked him out of the house a week ago because he was so out of control. Sad story all the way around.

To be fair I used the term kid pretty loosely. 20 and 21 year old. Old enough to know better.

Also not the first time the other guy has stabbed someone. Stabbed two people as a juvenile.
