Show __the salt LakeIrioune PUUD @ GARUEN | Wednesday, September Mom Crazy to Let Daughter Visit Killer in Prison Dear Ann: I had to write when I read the letter from the mother whois encouraging her teen-age daughters to visit that “poor” teen-age boy in prison. The mother has obviously fallen for the typical “not my iault” line that every convict pulls to get sympathy. I wouldn’t be surprised to ANN LANDERS man.” That, of course, is the line heis feeding her. Do I know what I'm talking about? You bet I do. I've been teaching junior high school for 23 years, and most of my kids have graduated and become worthwhile contributors to society. I have a few former students in prison, and I don'tvisit them. One boy was only 14 when he shot a 9-year-old girl while she was watching TV in her home. Why? Because her brother wouldn't join his gang. Now he is 21 and is being released. His younger brother sees how much It makes no sense to encourage a relationship with a 17-year-old who was packing a weapon and Dear Texas Teacher: Thank would be? His case is under appeal? Big deal. Every felon has an you for your hard-boiled, down- to-earth comments. I hope the parents take your commentsseriously and put an end to those jail find out that the 15-year-old daughter has already developed a major crush on the “nice young fellow who got drunkand killed a make friends with a convicted killer. The father is equally stupid. He is using prison visits as an incentive to get the girls’ grades up. Theyall need family counseling. — Texas Teacher attention the older oneis getting, not to mention how bamboozled the mother is. She insists her son was framed, even though his fingerprints were on the sawed-off shotgun. The mother is sure her son will be a wonderful person now that heis outof jail. I hope she is right, but I wouldn't bet on it. His gang is still around, and they look up to him now because he has “done time.” The mother who wroteto youis out of her mind. She is encouraging her teen-age daughters to ERT visits. Read on: DearAnn:I've been a nursein was so drunk he didn't know what he was doing. Can you imagine what a wholesomeinfluence he appeal pending. A tragedy? The tragedy is that a man is dead and this punk is responsible. The mother thinks it would be OK to visit because the visiting from “Unsure West Coasters.’ “supervised.” Visits last 50 minutes, and each prisoner can husband when he tells her not to take their daughtersto visit men have two or three visitors, all supervised byone or twocorrection- in prison.
