Dr. Dataclerk, do you have kids? If you do, do you monitor your kids 24/7? When you were a teenager did you do anything that your parents would be less than proud of? Before you start preaching to someone else take a step back and look at your own upbringing. I am sure you got in trouble a time or two. Heathen

Nope. I was the darling angel and never broke a curfew. I had good parents who talk me the value of life and of being a good up-standing christian. My children are the same way. Sorry, you are not able to say the same. No problems here, truthfully. Praying for you and children.

"These are the parents that don't have time for their children and meanwhile these children are smoking, doing drugs, sex alcohol and anything else you want to name and eventually wind up in jail or prison."

LOL.... DC, are you judging other people's kids by yours?

My 16 year old drives because he's old enough it allows him a level of independence that he'll eventually have anyway. BTW, he doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs.

This is almost a safety advertisement for Honda. Pretty awesome that it held up in a head on collision with a delivery truck.

The bridge on Tryon (near 401) is a death trap, too. Easy to cut your tire down on the sharp concrete curb (no shoulder).

Why is it anything with a minor news? Must be a slow news day or WRAL is another "It's for the children" news station.

STOP IT.
