You are so right. What the heck is this? Who wrote this "great piece of news"? Pathetic indeed!
Happy Mother's Day to you too! "

" Who wrote this story. This is not funny at all, yet your title expresses just that. What a brat. Why did your editor allow this to be printed? This paper has something to be desired. "

" better choice of words and I will accept that instead of Roses and chocolates

" Maybe the Register should make the headline writers "refrain from remarks that do not add to a constructive dialogue." "

" Why publish this story today? I am going to go back and read the fabulous stories about the ER, by the outstanding writer Mrs. Hoffman.

Far more uplifting thian this piece of crap. "

" First people complain the Register doesn't print all the news...then they say because of a holiday that Hallmark created, it shouldn't be allowed. Anyone that chases their mother with a meat cleaver is defenitely a future woman abuser...his name should be published and girls should be forewarned of this creep's behavior. "

" What did the mother do to the boy to trigger this behavior? What kind of mother is she? Does she neglect him? Does she tell him ever since he was young that he is the worst thing that has ever happened to her?

He is still a boy! How old is the mother? In what way has she been abusive towards the boy? "

" funnyme...skiph came in late. Didn't get our point. I agree in some ways with skiph, but he was 14 years old...still a child and nothing that I wish upon for a mother. Original title did not fit with what day it was today. Register does wonderful job, always. I hope all mother's had a great day, Happy Mother's Day "

" What, this boy should be tested because obviously hes got something wrong with him. any one in their right mind would not do that to anyone, even more so to their mother. "

" wow... why do you always gotta be the good guy savteycoon? that kid was probably just really mad at the time, sometimes people just freakout. and when someone freaks out once everyone assumes there is something wrong with them. what if the mother is really mean to the kid? ive heard of parents just calling and saying things like that to get rid of thier kid for a while, no joke. or maybe the kid is messed up. "

savetycoon wrote on May 14, 2008 8:20 AM:

" ChaCha:
Im not always trying to be the good person. Im just saying, that this isn't right no matter what.
Threating is the first step, next your going to hear that this boy did something to someone, and its not going to be as easy to push away, as a story of threating.
and ChaCha you sound realy young. "

" this boy happens to be a personal friend of mine. he is a good kid and does not get easily mad. his mother loves him and was frusturated with him and he did a wrong thing. don't judge people if you don't even know them. he is not a bad child and if you have never met him then you can be quite before you speak. Can't you people just leave it alone and deal with your own problems and stay out of his famlies problems? "

He is a personal firend of mine too. And that is not something that he would do without being provoked...which he was. I think that you guys should mind your own buisness...and stop assuming what he is all about...because you are all wrong. He is not a woman abuser. He is a nice boy. "
