There are those who have read a lot on the Vietnam war they are called experts on the subject then you can talk to a "vet" and hear a master speak on the subject .

I think I have a little insight on the subject you can call me master.

Todd's dad was and idiot but what he did and what parents should do are very different and can work without having that type of fallout .
How was your drug use your parents fault?

Come on...............
Exactly. But if it comes down to recruiting kid A, which would risk costing the tennis program $1,000,000 in future donations, or kid B, who is just as good (and there is always someone just as good), he'll go with kid B.

The entire situation is all so unlikely.

Now had my parents did their G-d given command and rights they would have made me a very important subject in their lives and made me the most important investment they had ,,,therefore any and all bad influences would have been fought off .

In return I like most would have started seeing the great boundrys they were placing around my life to protect me from the ugly hurricanes of life ,,these are the boundrys you place on your own life after years of screwing up.

Parents make and help sometimes break their children.

There's a degree of complexity. Thanks for explaining. In the end those choices are yours. With accusing one's own child of cheating and taking away tennis or some other deterrent measure is easier said than done. Show me a parent who says publicly his kid is a cheater, it will never happen. How parents deal with their kid cheating is usually handled privately. IMO kids obviously need to treat sportsmanship and fairness in tennis at the highest levels. Conversely, learning how to properly deal with a cheater is very important. Not only in tennis but life.
