I’m appalled at “golferron”. If you had any guts, you would have signed your name, first of all. Second, this teen has been charged with a crime, and has not yet been convicted of anything, whether felony or misdemeanor. Who his parents are has nothing to do with this teen’s arrest. Your comment was completely inappropriate and quite frankly pathetic.
Perhaps your were benched somewhere along the way…because you certainly are bitter…

I believe people should have to face consequences for poor choices. I also believe that people should have compassion and integrity when dealing with the lives of others. Especially young people.
I can no longer even watch channel 10 because it take the lives of people and drags them through the dirt. You have taken the lives of people who would have faced legal consequences anyway, but your report takes their reputation and destroys it.
Channel 10, you have cast so many stones that you have forgotten to look at your own faults. Let me tell for a fact, you have become nothing more than a tabloid show. Unfortunately, there are still many people who believe everything you say is all true. They neglect to notice when you say the words “charged” or “suspected,“ and assume guilty until proven innocent.
Do you notice at all you are not “ON OUR SIDE?“ You are “OUT TO EXPOSE.“ Some things are worthy, other things are merely a concerted effort to hurt people in the process of reporting the news.
To the person who wrote the comment about Jared Cole’s father; you must either work for channel 10, or you just want to sensationalize something to hurt more people than necessary. Shame on you.
I have faith in the good things about our world. Because of that faith, I have great hope that people will either stop tuning in, or you change your approach to reporting the news.
