My brother got kicked out of the house and I'm really worried about him, what can I do?
So my parents and my older brother have never gotten along, my brother doesn't even see my mom and dad as parents anymore, I think they genuinely hate eachother. He's gotten kicked out like 7 times before but that was before he turned 18, which he is now. So the reason why my dad kicked him out has soo many factors but they're all really stupid and he totally overreacts: -he doesn't get the greatest marks -my dad thinks he's a smartass and that he back talks -my dad thinks he games all day and is on the computer 24/7 -my parents have no belief in him what so ever and think that he's going to be a hobo when he's older And the argument that triggered this decision of my dads was that my brother got two part time jobs, one of them is like a temporary job (flood relief call centre, which is actually a really good job b/c it's a government backed job) and a job at a grocery store and my parents freaked because they think that the grocery store manager is going to fire him because the manager's only giving him work once a week, but that's b/c they hired a bunch of new workers so they have to lay off alot of work time for like all of the part time workers, so it's not just my brother who only has to work once a week. My parents are mad cuz they think both of the jobs are temporary and that he's eventually not going to have a job, but my brother back talked and told them his plan (which to be frank, was really smart but my parents don't agree). Then my dad started screeching at my brother saying that he's a f***ing piece of s**t and telling him to go eat s**t and that he should just go kill himself, then he threw a chair at my brother and so he left and went to his friends house which he's at right now but can't stay for long. He's honestly a great kid and he doesn't do drugs or drink or go to parties, it's just that my dad is so close minded, it's always 'my way or the highway' for him. What do u think he should do, I love him and I'm crying so much right now, plz help

I saw a woman backhand a child in Target today. I approached her....?
You can't feel bad now since it's already passed. However, if you see that again, you should call the police.
Younger sister got arrested?
If your little sister is left alone alot because of the parents work schedule and she is at friends homes alot there needs to be more rule over her at home. Her friends need to be monitored by having them over to the house with both parents home and also know more about the parents of the children that she hangs around with. If she has no money on her when she goes to her friends house, that is never good. They could go someplace with her friends parents and with no money, that leads to the tendency to steal. As far as you at this moment, please show understanding, and treat her like you would want to be treated if you were in her position. Also, if there is any christian morals in you you will let her know that one of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shalt NOT steal" She not only has broken man law, brought a bad name to her self and a mark against the family as a whole, but against GOD's law also. Make her pay YOU back and take the item that she stole back to the store and admit her wrong!
What is the saddest thing a kid has said to you?
I was divorced with a 2 year old daughter, and when my ex realized he could no longer hurt me he decided to hurt her which was torture on me because I couldn't be there to protect her and I was the cause. He returned her home one evening, soaked in urine as usual, and I smiled and talked to her as I took her in for her bath. I did my best to not anger him. I put my baby in the bath and there was a bruise on her spine, about the size of a dime. Odd place for a bruise. I asked "oh baby you have an ouchie on your back. How did that happen?" (I never raised my voice or had an accusatory "tone" because I didn't want to make anything worse for her) and my little girl just said "My daddy kicked me in my back because I was crying for my mama". That I hadn't been able to protect her, that it was her love for me that brought this upon her, let alone my horrid choice to ever be with that nightmare, I'll never forgive myself. My wonderful husband and I eventually got her away from him and she was in therapy for some time. Yes, I had called the police and filed reports on every mark and soaked diaper etc, however, the mediator for the court told me that if he saw "one more police report" from me that he'd send my child to foster care. She's now 27 and is independent and has a wonderful career. I'm so thankful we escaped.
Why do some stores hire and keep unfriendly people as cashiers?
Mind you, I've met a lot of nice cashiers. But at our local Walmart, Kmart, lower end grocery stores & even in Department stores, I've noticed a trend... About half the time their cashiers treat customers like a contagious disease. I know they have to deal with some nasty customers, but I always try to smile & make positive or amusing comments. About half of them respond positively and the other half just ignore me, some strike up a conversation with a coworker, and others feel compelled to make some negative comment or criticism. (Then there's the negative body language... the unhappy expressions, refusal to make eye contact, basically throwing things into the bags or cart.) There are exceptional stores where the employees are obviously trained to ALWAYS be positive (like Safeway) and I find myself going there more than other places just because I feel happier there. Have you had similar experiences? Any theories on why this is happening? Thanks!
