Frankly these kids that grow up so privledged should accept the responsibility and turn into leaders, not people we make apologies for. I don't feel sorry for his son one bit. Straighten up pal.

I see your point and I agree, however if you or I turned out to be screw ups wouldn't our fathers feel the least bit responsible? I know that whenever my kids screw up I blame myself and punish them. So absolutely, they should not be coddled, but that type of parenting needed to be present all along and probably wasn't.
