The wrong choice is to throw up our hands in disgust and pretend nothing can be done. Lots of things can be done, many of them worthwhile. We should do them, lives are worth it.
As for the other thing, I don't think I'll get anywhere with someone who in 2013 thinks "homo" = pedophile. But for the record, Jerry Sandusky married his wife Dorothy in 1966 and together they raised six children, by all appearances model hetrosexuals in the mold t Suts still looks for.

That's precious. You now find yourself defending Jerry Sandusky, a multiple times convicted child molester who used a confidence scheme together with his powerful position to draw little boys into his sexual perversions. So how many of his six kids did he rape when his dumbass wife looked the other way and saw Nothing? A clear case of homo equaling pedophile. And yes, it's 2013.
You're delusional in thinking anything can be done about teenage distracted driving by parents or any other authority figure. Today's young people are a twisted product of the progressive world they're being brought up in. Anything goes, and as long as that type of unethical and immoral attitude runs rampant among teenagers and their rock star and Hollywood sicko idols, they will do whatever they want. In a way, the guy who said he was glad the 16 year old was dead is onto something. Death as a reality is the only thing that may get through to the others corrupted by today's liberal sickness.
