Tebucky Jones Will Not Have Soft Children

This blog is missing information. What happened to the kids after they were dropped off at the Boys Club?
Was he charged with doing something wrong? What is the point of telling us part of the story? I guess we will have to wait for the movie to come out.

i too would like to know what happened to Jones' kids and if he was brought up on charges of wreckless endangerment, negligence or any other charges that i think most would agree he should've been brought up on.i think Jones could have taught his kids whatever he was trying to teach them another way. i don't know Jones as a football player but as a parent he seems a bit too much.

What is it with black people and what soft is.The jails are filled with blacks who were raised not to be soft.It's called compassion maybe the black community should try giving there kids that.

CC...you are ignorant! What the hell do you know about black people? Clearly nothing, considering your response. Maybe you should try shutting the hell up, and learn not to lump an entire race into your perceived stereotypes!

This man would have been better off had he taught his kids respect. One does not have to be tought to get around in this world. Toughness gets you no where. Respect gets you everything.

Too many males (black, white, hispanic) are absentee fathers. T-Buck shows that he cares about his kids and is there to guide them to what HE feels is right for them. Hopefully, they will better appreciate the blessed and privileged life they undoubtedly live, (unlike a Paris Hilton).
To those that wonder if he has been charged with any crime, what are you going to charge him with? Do you press those same charges on the parents of the children who already live and are being raised there? Is is a crime that these parents have not moved their kids to an upscale neighborhood next door to T-bucks house??!!

My,my,my. Where do I begin? This is a response to Richard's comment. First off, "there" refers to a location, as in "over there." "Their" would be the correct way of referring to the children of African Americans. I know this because my African American mother was in extreme favor of higher education. However, she also let me know very early on that as a woman of color, I was going to have to work harder than my pigmentationally challenged counterparts when it came to getting ahead. And yes, she wanted to make sure that I was strong enough to endure life's challenges because she knew that they would come. Strength is very important in our communities because historically we've had so much to overcome. We are also taught compassion. The two can be taught together, so please don't speak on what you don't know or understand, and don't judge this man. I'm certain that he made sure that he wasn't endangering his children. He may have let them think that he was, but I'm sure that he wasn't. My husband and I are also raising our children in an upper middle class area, and we both grew up poor. We've made sure that our children have seen where and how we grew up. It was important to us that they understood where there parents came from. This man doesn't want them thinking that everything will be handed to them in life, and his African American son needs to know that he'll have to work twice as hard as his blond counterparts to get ahead. That's just the way it is, and it' s not going to change any time soon. We know this, and you need to admit it. By the way, I don't know what they say in Podunk, but the politically correct term is now African American, not black.

I'm sorry, my previous response was to CC, not Richard. My apologies Richard.

I do think kids need to know both sides. A man once said, "To know where you are going, you have to know where you came from". Todays kids are for the most part are spoiled because we want them to "have it better than we did. I believe the best lessons in life for kids start at an early age and the parents being consistant with the rules.

Too bad T-Buck is know as a soft football player.

Where was these children's mother? No one in their right mind would dump a 9 year old on the street to perhaps become a victim even with an older sibling watching them. These kids probably thought it was fun to be on their own with no other frame of reference to judge the experience by. This type of commando parenting is a typical response from a father who has little day to day parent authority whether he lives with his children or not. They want to step in and fix the problem. He should have started sooner than waiting until there was an issue. Wake up, parenting is a 24 hour a day job.

Hector is right. Kids need supervision. Not just stuff. You want to spoil your kids, do it with love and understanding, not buying them every item under the sun, then leaving them with the nanny.

I think he just wanted to give them a taste of what might happen if they don't behave, and to appreciate what they have. It might encourage them to help others as well. And, they can see what their Dad has lived through. Props!!

hopefully none of his children won't get harmed..thats a tough way to teach your kids but maybe more parents should do some thing like that irregardless of their color..

what the hell is this thing called absent fathers?.i was literally pushed out of my child's life.If i stayed she couldnt collect the freebies she is used to from local churches and charities.She loved the pity she got from the these words..ABSENT FATHER.I had to go to court just Larry birkurt(anna nicole's ex) just to get paternity and allowed back in my child's life.Black women love that pity status..am black by the way.

Dumping a 9 year old on the street? What about the nine year olds and younger kids that already live in these "Bad neighborhoods" Not everyone lives in Million dollar homes. Some of us didn't have the Beverly Hills 90210 life as a kid, we had the Rosanne life or worse. Kids today get everything handed to them and can't handle it when bad things happen. You can't just lay down and die just cause it's a bad life, you have to get up and fight. Kids in these neighborhoods really don't know it's that bad, it's home and most have loving parents, and that's what all kids need.

well, i do not think it was a bad or wrong thing to do. if it was sssoooooo unsafe and/or child endangerment, then why the heck are any kids allowed to live there?!?!? if people want to find fault with his method, then get ALL children out of there, dont just persecute him.

Its not about whether other kids live there or not. Those other kids have a home or safe haven to go to. These kids were left on the side of the street to fend for themselves with noone to turn to if need be. RIDICULOUS! If it is such a "bad" neighborhood as its been made out to be then ANYTHING could of happened from being robbed-kidnapped-raped-murdered. All for what? Probably for crying or showing natural human emotion just because hat is not "tough enough" for this idiotic football dad.
