The young man was clearly troubled, and somewhere along the way he lost his sense of humanity. And sadly, as is often the case with these types of stories, he had no father in his life.
I picked up on that sad ---and all too familiar--- tidbit towards the end of the story.
"Island, though, had a “really hard life” that included a troubled relationship with his mother, Singh said.
Singh said Island told him that Wooley would not let Island leave his home, though Island did run away one time to a nearby apartment. He said Island told him that at times, Wooley would abuse Island.
But Island also had a tattoo of his mother’s name on his chest, Singh said.
“He never really acted like anything was wrong,” Singh said.
Island had mentioned being from California and said his father would send him money in the mail, Singh said.
“But he (the father) was never really around,” Singh said."
Oh yes, his
This is a recurring theme. And it is one that I have blogged about in the past.
Our community would be so much better off if the men among us would do a better job of being fathers to their children. Particularly their sons. I know this from my professional experience as both a criminal defense lawyer and a magistrate in the family court system. It is a serious problem.
I got into a discussion on this subject on twitter earlier with some sisters after retweeting an article from Boyce Watkins. He was telling single mothers how to raise a "sorry black man". And, as is to be expected, they pushed back. "Why is it always the poor mothers who get called out?" "Oh yeah, as usual, blame the poor woman." Ok I get it. And what people like Mr. Watkins should get is that without the sperm donor who brought the "sorry black man" here, the job of the "single [black] mother" gets that much harder. And of course the single black mother has to realize that before she becomes a single black mother she has to make better choices when it comes to the men in her life as well.
Watkins opines: "My own mother was a 17-year old single mom until she married my second father three years after I was born. And it was her commitment to raising me with more discipline than my male friends that guided me away from the same gutters, prison cells, and rehab clinics that many of them occupy to this day.So, if you want your son to grow up to be a horrible father and husband for somebody else, here are a few things you can do".... Stop!
She should not have to raise her son alone, period. And shame on the next man who is going to cause that single black mother to have to do it.

You blogged 'once' about the looming crises of bm. You should blog numerous times about this sad and scary situation in our community.
I really don't have much hope that anything will be resolved. This problem continues to get bigger and bigger. And NO ONE seems to care. That includes the black community and our first Black President.
None of these phonies have done a damn thing: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Dyson, MHP, NAACP, CBC, black politicians, Democrats, black professionals...the list goes on.
The only one that I know who is 'really' doing something for young black males is Rev Jesse Lee Peterson, a fine man who is 'giving' back to the community.
I can't believe Field is honoring Colorado in his sidebar for legalizing pot . How can Field consider the pot heads of Colorado Field Negroes and Honorary Field Negroes of the Day?
It's crazy! What is our community and country coming to? We are headed toward hell.
Mr Field, I used to think that you were of 'sound mind' but I was wrong.
And please, no comments from Field's peanut gallery...keep your comments to yourself.
Field, here is a classy response by Mitt Romney re: MHP's harsh ignorant show about his grandchild. Why haven't you acknowledged this? Let me guess. You can't give Repubs credit for anything.

Good topic, I see a lot of my lady FB friends posting about bad fathers and I get that but like you said I can't help but wonder about their character judging abilties. Did these guys suddenly become aholes or were there signs. I also notice that if a single mother has a girl she also becomes a single mother at around the same age as her mother.
BTW, dig the pic of Furious.
PilotX that pic is from Boys in the Hood. Some of you FN folks don't know nothing.
"Why is it always the poor mothers who get called out?"
Because only women can get pregnant.
Women have all the rights regarding reproduction, they should bear the commensurate responsibilities.
A woman can choose to bear the child of a man who has not agreed to marry her. She can also choose to abort the child of a man who has agreed to marry her. She can change her mind as often as she wants, and the man can watch as his child is aborted or as he is put on the hook for 18 years of child support.
When she chooses to have sex outside of marriage, chooses to get pregnant, chooses to have a baby she can't support, she consigns her child to a life where he is always behind the eight ball.
Women make these choices.
Women need to do better.
If she weren't shielded from the consequences of these choices by having a legal claim on the resources of the man she did not marry, or by having a the unconditional support of the government and various relief agencies, she might think a little harder about whether or not she should be careful about getting pregnant.
People make bad choices because they can. Let's stop subsidizing and promoting dysfunction. And let's do it now, before another generation is lost.
But what if the mother abused the boy? If she did, maybe she got what she deserved.
My mother, who is now dead, "whupped" me over every infraction up until I was about 9 or 10. There were times when I HATED her.
"She should not have to raise her son alone, period. And shame on the next man who is going to cause that single black mother to have to do it."
Then she should not have children out of wedlock. Why is that so complicated?
QUESTION: If a woman has sex with a sorry man, what does that make her?
MITT responded in a forgiving loving way because he is a devoted Morman.
It's too bad we don't have more Mitt Romneys' in our world. It would be so much better.

I like the way Mitt Romney responded to MHP's apology. He is a just man and would have made an excellent credible President. God bless him.
I believe we should stop waiting on that one Black Messiah to save Black America. There aren't anymore MLK's, Malcolm X's, Garvey's or Elijah Muhammad's.
We should stop pointing fingers at each other and everyone chip on to do our part in helping Black America get through our issues.
Through slavery we were bred to be dysfunctional; we need to counteract that with africentric schools with Black, well educated and informed instructors that are willing to help our children succeed in life.
In the 1920's, Tulsa, Oklahoma had a thriving all Black town where the dollar circulated I think 15X's before it left their community. I don't think it circulates once in our communities now. If we did that in the 20's I know we can do it now.
Also, there are hundreds of thousands of single Black mothers that are raising there children to be great productive citizens. The same goes for good responsible Black fathers. There are a lot of them out there.
We should focus on doing our part to help the Black Nation instead of dogging our own selves out because it's doing nothing to help our situation.

Tulsa was the center of the oil boom in 1920. But in 1921 the Tulsa Race Riot took out the whole community of Greenwood, the "Black Wall Street" you're describing as "in the 1920s".
Study up.
"Also, there are hundreds of thousands of single Black mothers that are raising there children to be great productive citizens."

Dear Anonymous 7:34,
Errr yes, I and already pointed that out at 2:50 a.m. - numbnuts.
Birth control, sterilization, and abortion would help greatly, plus no freebies just because you had a bastard.
Women are primarily to blame because they have virtually all of the reproductive power as well as a system that encourages and subsidizes their behavior. So yes, it is primarily their fault. Give men and women equal reproductive right(post-conception rights) and shut off the welfare. That'll clear things up real quickly.
Just curious. Whose been father all the white school shooters?
I see the misogynists are out in force today.
Both the man and woman are responsible for the creation of a child outside of marriage. Each party made bad decisions.
What is "wrong" about having a child out of marriage?
For me the question is: How do we get this important information out and in a way that is absorbed, to those that can most benefit from it?
Dr. Watkins article is a scathing and perhaps somewhat exaggerated indictment of families, that I cringed as I read it.
What mother would praise a son for "being a playa",and impregnating a fourth or whatever number he used, baby momma?
Or does he know someone that does that?
However I can understand to a degree his frustration. I really can. In the face of a monumental problem that is endemic in the Black as well as the White community.
But as I read his article I asked myself, just who exactly is he writing too? Who reads that paper? Who reads this blog for that matter?
You, me? Certainly I dare say that not one of us is raising children, and that if we are, we are most certainly concerned enough to do it in a different way than the one Dr. Watkins describes.
So the question for me remains, how do we get this important message out to those that can most benefit from it.
What can be done to get the message out to the communities that will benefit from it.
Because can we sit around in the comfort of our homes, having cheese and wine, or sipping afternoon tea, or Starbucks coffee,or whatever your libation of choice is, and discuss this problem ad nauseum.
And write columns about it that possibly only we,in our own circles will read, and go "tsk,tsk,tsk"
But until something is actually 'done', 'physically done' I guarantee it will only get worse.
Happy Three Kings Day everyone! May your most intimate wish be granted by the Three Magi!

---
Nothing, as long as the person that does so can provide for that child both materially and parentally.
Having a child that you need government support to raise and that you are not able and/or committed enough to handle is wrong. You will likely create great hardships for yourself and are at risk for producing a child who will also suffer hardships and may become a burden on society.
If it is just your own life you want to mess up, have at it. However, as we are a society who will fund wayward people and pick up the tab for uncared for children, you are in large part externalizing the cost of your choices onto people who for the most part have lived much more responsibly.
Having to pay for other people's poor choices is bad enough, but much worse is how this facilitates and promotes single parenthood for poor women, which is recipe for dysfunctional childhoods.
Dysfunctional children often grow up to be dysfunctional adults who create dysfunctional societies. Not good. Let's stop.
That didn't take long. Why is it we can't talk about bad behavior/irresponsibility on the part of some in the black community without someone saying “white people do it, too!!!!”?
Do asians say “white people do it, too!!!!”?
Do hispanics say “white people do it, too!!!!”?
Do whites say “black people do it, too!!!!”?
No....
So why do blacks feel the need to compare themselves to whites?

It is not any one thing that causes dysfunction or misguidance for youngsters. Single mothers with no lead male have managed to raise quality kids, just as two parent households have managed to raise non-quality kids. In my most humble opinion, we need to as a people get back to community thinking-- this to me would make the most difference for our youth. When they realize they are "Protected" and "Cared For" by a "COMMUNITY". So that any adult face they come upon that looks like theirs-- they know they can count on that person no matter what...

Re "single mothers": Can we all agree that when a (black or white) cognitively-challenged, semi-literate woman-child fornicates with an equally cognitively-challenged, semi-literate man-child, the results cost us, the taxpayer? And, some of us are getting pretty pissed off. Now...
Regarding the Oakland, CA mother, Nailah Winkfield: Classic example of the aforementioned "cognitively-challenged, semi-literate". If we really look all around us, we will see thousands of these examples; evidenced by that peculiar "cabbage-patch-doll", bloated, overly corn-fed appearance. This woman-child parent and her child, Jahi McMath, probably consumed unhealthy, cheap processed food. You have seen them in the KFCs and McDs of Oakland and elsewhere. And now, there are "knee-grows" in Oakland who have the "chutspa"; the nerve to want to sue Children's Hospital. Gimme a break!

"Community" care is what we have now. Look around.
Many single mothers can do a fine job raising children, but it is clear that on average, kids from one-parent homes do much worse than those who have both a mother and a father in the house.
What we need is more two parent households. We can help that by stopping the promotion of one parent households.

at some point, even the dumbest will need to acknowledge that there is a major problem with the head of the Black nation.

until more men connect with Almighty and follow Him...nothing will change.
silly women will still follow deadhead "men" that will lead them into a ditch. then these same "men" denigrate the women for being silly enough to follow them into said ditch.
there is already "equality" with reproductive rights. menfolk already know that they are in charge when they have their pants up, on, closed for business.
AFTER that point...power has been relinquished.
just as women relinquish their power by yielding sex prior to marriage.
men create oow, as they control marriage.
i pray our people will wake up and realize, there has ALREADY been one Black Messiah, Yahushua Messiah.
we are the messiahs folks are waiting for. learn the Law. live the Law. teach the Law. unto a certain nation will the other nations gather...if ones reads, they should already know.
even as we stand naked, ridiculed, and hated before all the world as BW. i still believe His Word/Him over all that i see.
we will see our sons awakened from their sleep...as it is written.

Has Social Security Redistributed to Whites from People of Color.
whites have clearly received a disproportionate share of benefits relative to the taxes that they pay in at a point in time. Their benefit-to-tax ratio has been higher than that of blacks, Hispanics, and other ethnic groups for as long as the system has existed, while projections continue that trend at least for decades to come.

Yet another democrat program that benefits whites at the expense of minorities.

No, it's a war on drugs. The only positive is that it allows for many violent perps to be locked up when a drug conviction is all that is possible.
But, that being said, it is my personal belief that only crimes of violence should be punished by imprisonment.
All property crimes should be punished with fines. If you can't pay, your wages are garnished until you do. Fines go up exponentially for repeat offenders. Don't lock up burglars and junkies with rapists and murderers.
Drug use by competent adults should be legal.

you know precisely who i AM speaking of by the names selected. that was my purpose.
those women that see how quite a few bm treat bw, truly in their heads think they will fair better due to paler skin. i urge all that hold such foolish notions to come get some. they richly earn all extracted resources.
now consider what BW are called on the regular to the sound of crickets and see clearly that i AM being far from hateful.
i notice what really offends is all caps;)
no...it is not hateful to call hateful homo queens what they are.
i AM careful to specify precisely the segment of homo population i AM addressing.
these wayward creatures tend to have an unnatural hatred toward bw and children. yet they wander into social service professions so they may emulate/hate up close + personal.
so does the "new school bm" that i would like hateful homo queens to come collect. it is plainly written in english. i promise i meant it. as many as you devilish jokers can flip. flip 'em on up and out of the paths of uprotected bw/bg. they are doing what they wilt anyways...ya both hate bw + children. folks can do what they wilt without ever needing be concerned with making babies;) it's all UNlawful anyways...
even as i ask those inclined to please + thank you come through; i still believe that more will awake. until they do...space is best maintained by those unprotected women/children that want a better go of things.
as for AB...i think considering all the names i was called, Lady Bug, was kindda sweet+fitting;) at the end of the day...i got love for AB. she doesn't need you to speak for her, btw. our fallout was not over homosexuality- which is what your mentals seem snatched over. our fallout was a matter of respect. you can paint it with the gay mafia brush of make believe if you feel so inclined.
gay mafia folks don't let a little thing like Truth stop their agenda. otherwise they would stop pretending & cop to the fact that Mathew Shepard was murdered by one of the hateful homos the gay mafia likes to pretend does not exist. even mentioning violent hateful homos unleashes homo murder on the streets...let the gay mafia tell it.
free will.
ps. yes, we know wm are closeted homos. peds. serial killers. rapists. racists. etc. all nicely drummed into bw's heads on the regular. as such bw are NOT wandering around wm and others acting like they are among kin/friend/black skin.
see?

Nobody is hating anybody. At least I'm not. I received excellent evaluations from my white (except one) supervisors. My last supervisor, a white man (since you're so impressed with white men), gave me the best reviews I ever received working at that agency.
Occasionally, I see people I worked with. They all tell me how "helpful" I was. I did my job and did it very well.

if you are the haterific Anon from before...i will need to see some receipts.
lol.
ps. i AM not impressed with men of any color round about now. this is a man's world. it is a hot mess at the hands of men- all colors.
folks may act like the ww's baby BO did all this by his lonesome if they just love fat lies. i AM focused without apology on Black folks. love begins at home. then travels abroad...
the stereotypes that seem to be on a loop in our culture re: wm were highlighted with a purpose as well. maybe i needed to put it in quotes so you could understand?
bw, in large numbers, discount what is said about bm as racism or hatred. in large numbers they rationalize whatever madness they tolerate. they can never seem to recognize white supremacy. hatred. belly warmer/let me practice on bw mentality'd bm they can't seem to spot...3, 4 kids into the experience. it may surprise folks to learn, but the ones that are hated on the hardest by some bm, ride the hardest for bm. it is the darndest thing, i have ever seen.
yet, these same bw will apply what is said about wm much more readily. literally. lol. will quote it like it is a script or something...
i think this is why when bw/wm do get together...it is usually based on more solid stuff than bw/bm and bm/ww. bw vet wm better than most would think to vet bm. that is my greater point.
please rest assured i AM aware all that folks readily attach to wm comes in all colors.
you are hating on me Anon. while trying hard not to understand what i AM saying. though i don't have a problem saying precisely what i mean to say.
you look for hatred from me, where there is none.
i don't hate anyone. that requires a great deal more energy than i AM prepared to devote to UNLawful activity at this point in my journey.
not to mention hatred harms the hater first + worse...
than anything the hater can hope for the hated. we navigate a double up back atcha type of Universe;)
please don't confuse my refusal to be silenced with hatred.
Anon 9:59, with the hate and ignorance you display about black peeps on this blog... I am not surprised that you got pat on the back from you white masters, um... supervisors.

But, this is one story. And it's only a recurring one because we have been conditioned to keep repeating it. There are ALSO many good decent black men and young boys that have been raised by their single BLACK mother. I think we need to examine why we need to keep saying this stuff...and what's it really gonna change? It's too many issues, and pointing isolated cases and making it the " face" of our people is just stupid to me. No, I'm not gonna read the whole thing...cause the only solution you as a man probably offered is that Black women should no longer give birth to black children. right? Wake Up!
