His Mom's Cuckoo

That was what I thought when I was watching the news on Marlene Aguilar's arrest. I was thinking how crazy she was to hide her son, her son who KILLED someone because of some stupid road rage incident. What gall she had when she lied to the NBI that her son was not around!

On the other hand, I think of Marlene. I think about what her parents were like to her, and their parents before them. I wonder if she's a permissive parent, or whether Jason was just a son that has gone astray?

Marlene seemed like she purposely hid Jason from the authorities. Understandable. I guess there are more parents who will hide their children than just give them up to the police. Perhaps it reflects on how they did as parents, no? She also said:

“Whatever Jason did, whatever they call him—they called him a monster—and even if the world will condemn him, I will love him just the same,” Aguilar told the Inquirer."

She also said she'd take bullets for him. Which is something precisely a parent would do. I'd take them for my family. I'm fiercely protective of them. But hearing it from her, and considering her son, I call it cuckoo.

I wonder if I'd hide my kids. Or not. I haven't decided yet. My righteous side of course says I would. But my mother side might say no (unless I'm super pissed at them, LOL!).

While I don't claim I know how he was raised (nor how she was raised as well), I feel that we, as parents have a very delicate role in bringing up baby. We have to do so, within the bounds of law, to "train" a responsible citizen, nationalistic and loving. So help us God.

So, will you or will you not give up your kid?
