I've read stories about how Jeb Bush's kids have thumbed their noses at "da rulz" the rest of us are supposed to follow, but most of them are from years, even a decade ago or more.
Where are those kids now, especially Noelle Bush, she really had a hard time with drug abuse.

(20,277 posts)I think having the kids (no matter their ages) called names like 'brats' is wrong.

I just think that kids should be left out of it.

Getting busted multiple times is NOT.

(28,749 posts)People do silly/dumb things and if you judge their character based of those mistakes you are close minded.
Now if they don't learn from those mistakes that's an issue.

(5,946 posts)Yes they broke the rules and did not have to pay, lots of people break the rules - sometimes too many rules. Noelle did not go to jail for drug use, she got rehab - the thing is everyone should get rehab if they are not pushing.
my point is you don't get blamed for the silver spoon in your mouth (or nose) unless you deliberately flaunt the law. I have net heard from them. It is JEB that pulled the strings - so much easier than parenting - and deserves the blame.
I would not blame the children until I hear more. Drug addiction is not controllable once it is full force, and sex - well, when you are young sometimes it is hard to control the urges. as long as they consent, car location not so unusual.

(34,076 posts)If Jeb was acting improperly to get them out of trouble - attack Jeb's actions. But picking on people merely because they are related to public figures is inappropriate.

But that's still separate from his father.

(34,076 posts)If our only interest in him is because of who is father is - that should be beneath us.

The daughter, Noelle, has been out of the news since her last stint in rehab in 2003, IIRC.
His youngest son is in commercial real estate in Florida.
