A Time for Tough Love( Hulk Hogan)

When I heard what happen to Hulk Hogan's son Nick and his friend John I felt sorry for the parents but when I heard Hulks comments on the Larry King interview I was shocked. This is supposed to be a TV dad! What I saw and heard was a father making excuses for his son, trying to capitalize on the situation, and blaming the victim. Sorry Mr. Hogan... you blew it! This was the opportunity to show some tough love to your son! When I was in my early teens, my brother who was a dare devil if you will was racing on motor-cycles with friends and they got in trouble with the police (in Colombia). I couldn't understand why my dad refuse to bail him out like the other dads and instead let him sleep in jail for 48 hours. He turned and said to me: this is not me being mean; it's called tough love. I don't want him ever setting foot in a prison again! Even then, my brother in a sports car was driving too fast and ran off the road and into a persons yard moving a huge boulder which totaled the car and he was left incapacitated for weeks. He was lucky he didn't kill someone or die! He then took to flying airplanes when he came to Miami and purchase a speed boat in his adult life as a father and husband. His wife feared she was going to get the news one day that he crashed in an airplane, but it was bad company that did him in. Yes, Mr. Hogan, they can be stubborn, these teenagers, so you should show tough love instead, otherwise you'll be burying him at a young age!

I would have love to hear you say(Mr. Hogan) how you are reaching out to the youth in America, not to drink and drive, and not to engage in reckless behavior. Not to make bad decisions like what these two did. To look at what happened to your son's best friend(ended up in a comma) and your son in jail (that it could have well been the other way around), they both could have been killed, they could have killed another person or persons... but you miss the chance of helping to raise awareness on this issue. What a terrible blow this must be to John's family to hear you make excuses for Nick and hope John will end up a better person...Wake up Mr. Hogan, he is brain dead!
