In this case, I think it was a consequence rather than a punishment. Hats off to the parents.

She was a little girl once. Was there a point where society could have made a difference? I truly believe we could for a lot of children. Yet, the comments posted on stories like this show not many are interested in doing what it takes to turn things around.

There are so many reasons and disrespect for authority is just the starting point. The fact that he could not let it go speaks volumes as to his mental stability.

I wanted to know what Branstad is for or against when it comes to Cedar Rapids rebuilding? We in CR need to know this before we vote.

OR MAKING IT BETTER THA IT WAS...... I am so disgusted with CR city council that I am ready to sell my home and move out of the county.

I am stating a fact from June 2010 to July 2010 our office went from 16 to 11 employees. That is more than a 25% reduction in manpower. Plus several of the staff we lost took years of experience with them. Budget cuts or underfunding mandated programs have real everyday consequences for the citizens of this state.

It is scary because with the loss of a job or health insurance when you have medical bills it could happen to many middle class people. Not many families have that kind of money in savings.

As it is now, I am not sure I would recommend to my family and friends to stay in a hotel downtown.

I hope this does not end here. I like nohope can't get this out of my head or my heart. Especially, the part the young man's father going to the CR city council and area churches begging for help. Is this the Christian way? No. This is suppose to be the "heartland" of America, not much heart in this story.

This church is doing what all churches should be and that is taking care of their neighbors. It makes me so sad to drive by all the fancy churches being built on the edge of our city and inside our city are people without enough food to eat or a place to live.

That being said unto the U of I! Let me go on record. I could not be more disappointed in U of Iowa. We send our students to be educated and not just out of books. A university is a place of learning. I am heartsick that this is the lesson they are teaching our students. Such wanton disregard of someone's pain and suffering. I am also a shamed of my city. This doesn't sound like such a wonderful place to live and raise my children. I have a son the age of these young men and would have hoped for so much more if my son was missing.

I feel there is very little hope for making better tomorrows if this is what is truly in everyone's hearts. Children should not go without a meal, they should not be punished for their parent's bad decisions. How do we break the cycle with attitudes like those expressed here?

Example would be the increase in the time to process an application for Grandma's nursing home care.
