DT> MS>    Last year, some kid who had murdered her mother when she was

DT> "Oh yeah, I killed my mom when I was 16." is so laughable.  Honestly 
DT> Matt, where do you come up with this stuff?
    It made all the newspapers, that's where I came up with it.
    It just is an example of how having a record, even juvenile, can hurt a 
kid's future...far more so than that teacher's two-year suspension will hurt 
his career.
