People open your eyes! He comes from a good family? Well that is great. But he selling drugs! Which is a crime! He needs to go to jail. That is what is wrong with the world today, they get caught and nothing is done. Everyone he hangs out with does drugs too so if this is one of your kids check it out!

I too know him. Part of me feels sorry for him, but the other part feels that he should pay for what he has done. Kids now days say everybody is doing it, so why should I change, and yes it is easy money. But look at him know, it's a felony, if he goes to jail for what he has done. He is an intelligent man, and I know it was a big mistake, but he could have been anything he wanted to be!!!

Those of you believing Adrian needs locked up for life are truly heartless idiots! He obviously needs help and locking him up is NOT the answer! I have watched this child grow up and he comes from a wonderful family! MANY people lose their way and make mistakes! I love you Adrian and ignore these heartless idiots! Keep your head up boy and get better!!!
