NYTimes just picked it up too. Pam Spaulding and I have both blogged it.

Yet on Zach’s blog, it was his dad who cried, while his mother teared up. And it was his mother who said the terrible things about him day after day. I wonder which of them is most deeply upset?

Most telling in the article is Joe Stark’sas long as he’s under my roof statement:

“But until he turns 18 and he’s an adult in the state of Tennessee, I’m responsible for him. And I’m going to see to it that he has all options available to him.”

I would hope all those options include his cell phone, his friends his car and his Internet connection, but my guess is those “options” will take a long time to become available again.

And no word from Zach’s mom.
Dad is the family spokesman, firmly in his God-given (well, white male privilege society’s God) role as head of his household.
Order restored, the American family is saved.
The great American myth.
