I find it curious that when a story is about black kids that the usual suspects come in and start blaming black parents. Kind of like the kid that got away at the zoo into the gorilla cage. Blame the parents.
How does a "parent" say "OK" to their 12 year old being out at 1AM? Maybe if the bars close at 2AM they planned on picking their kids up after if the kids would agree to stand on the street for an hour after their party ended and drive home with drink mommy and daddy.

i wouldnt ****ing care if it was white, black, brown, or yellow kids attending that party. I would be just as hard on the parents of ANY COLOR
And for you to bring up race tells me a thing about you....look in the mirror dude
I just heard one of the victims is 12 years old. What the hell was a 12 year old doing at a club at 12:30 in the morning. I know it was a teen night at the club, but some of these parents should be prosecuted for child abuse.
Now all African Americans are bad parents- WOW.The news just said it is gang related and three are in custody. All shooters and victims are African American that explains why children were out at 1AM.
Well splain it to us.Gawd awful parenting....
This explains so much about so many things.

Child abuse, really?
You should have a good kick in the happy sacks!!
Kids are supposed to have the occaisional party!
I went out with my parents past midnight dancing when I was still in single digit ages. As long as there was someone older accompanying the preteen, I don't see the issue.

12 year olds have no business in a bar at 12:00 am..... period.
12 year old kids should be in bed long before that.

Club Blu co-owner Cheryl Filardi said at least eight armed security guards were at the bar.
“We did everything we could to make sure these kids were safe,” Filardi said. “There was nothing we could do … a car rolled up and just started shooting.”
One of the security guards was shot, she said. So was Terrance Moore, 19 and a former running back at Fort Myers High.
...
Fort Myers city councilwoman Terolyn Watson returned to the crime scene in the afternoon to try and get a sense of what happened. She advised the city’s parents to have some candid, age-appropriate discussions with their children about the shootings and to learn from them. She also said she did not want to get into the blame game.
“It was a teen night,” Watson said. “That’s one of the things we as parents need. We can’t always put the blame here. We’ve got to come together as a community. I’m not going to fault this parent, that parent. I’m not going to fault certain individuals.”
City councilman Forrest Banks and Congressman Curt Clawson accompanied Watson.
Rediculous.
You obviously were never young.
Not sure of your upbringing, but I was never out at night past 10 pm when I was 12 years old, and neither were my kids.

Each parent needs to be aware of where are children our are.
This event was for 12-17 year olds.
There was security. Teens over 17 were not at the event.
The shooting took place in the parking lot after the event.
The 19 year old who was shot was in the parking lot...not at the event.
My young teenage kids never practiced going to the club.
Rediculous.
You obviously were never young.
And you obviously never had kids. If you did, you are one of the reasons kids act the way they do these days.

I don't have a problem with parents TAKING their children out and staying late, but that was obviously not the case here. I also don't have a problem with parents dropping off their kids at an event like this... after making sure no older kids would be there and that it closed at a decent hour.
