Party At Mrs. Johnson’s! “Cool mom” charged after hosting year of sex, booze, drug shindigs. (Thanks to Christopher Schroen…I think….)
In an update on one of our latest DUMB@$$ AWARD wieners, it turns out to be even worse and far more disturbing than I’d imagined…and I’ve got a very highly functional imagination.
Now we have a picture and a police report. It’s not exactly compelling reading, unless of course you’re looking for cheap titillation. So our “cool mom” is little more than an opportunistic pedophile willing to provide kids with drugs and alcohol in order to prop up her flagging self-esteem while pursuing sexual gratification? Gee, what a shock.
One can only wonder where the parents of the children involved with Sylvia Johnson were when all of this was happening. Granted, it may not be obvious that your child has engaged in sexual activity, but if that child is drunk and/or high, it’s not all that difficult to see, and few children can hide it effectively. The parents of these children will (not unjustifiably) cry foul, but where were they? Were they asking their children were they were? Who they were with? What they were doing? Were they looking in their eyes, checking their behavior, or asking why their speech was slurred, or why they smelled of alcohol or marijuana? If not, why not? Sylvia Johnson obviously bears the criminal and moral responsibility in this sorry episode, but the parents are not blameless, either. Johnson’s house parties occurred weekly over the course of a year. Any parent who cared to find out what his or her child was up to over that period had only to sit their child down, look them in the eye, and talk to them. It would seem that few of them could be bothered.
