Oh yeah-lawsuit indeed! There is no way they monitor those inmates like they say they do, or that man would still be alive! Shameful! I'm so sorry for the family! God Bless!

The kid stole a golf cart and ran it into a creek while he was drinking. Another boy was involved too. Very sad ending.

They don't have the resources to sit and watch someone who is showing no signs of mental distress to see if they are going to hang themselves with the clothes on their backs.

... But he did have a family, and to post all of these terrible things about him is really disrespectful. His family didn't deserve any of this. Only desperate people go to such extreme measures, and no one really knows what he was feeling and why he did this. He never harmed anyone, and it wasn't like he was in jail for some heinous crime.. it was for stealing a golfcart.

And to Larry moore and family i'm so sorry you have too so through this may god be with you in this time of need .

As usual the story is not reported clearly. Why would a kid hang himself because he was caught stealing a golf cart. The mental anguish over not getting away with the golf cart is pathetic.

The conversation could soon turn to highly personal areas, yet there won't be any hesitation in talking straight from the heart. At some point you'll be in the mood to think about your New Year resolutions. Maybe you should write them in next year's diary so you can keep referring to them.
