aw, shucks guys. i am glad you liked it. every word of it is true.
as far as the father, i am sure someone is giving his daughter a hard time. we, as members of the community, need to stand up against this crap. like william did when he was younger, you see it, you stop it. i am not afraid to set a kid straight, even if he isnt my kid. alot of times the adults that are around can NOT be depended on to handle the situation the right way, for whatever reason. and i will tell you now that i really was close to doing the same thing this guy did. i would have issued some spankings on the spot and most likely spent the night in jail, at the very least. the only reason i never did was that the perps were always gone by the time i was able to get to school; and the staff at the school cant tell you who they are. i requested that information so i could go talk to their parents and make them aware of what was going on. gabriel handled it all, and saved me the boatload of trouble that would have inevitably come with it. well worth the price of ice cream. lol.
