The defendant mentioned how her previous boyfriend "wouldn't allow" her to partake in certain activities. So when she smoked weed after the breakup she probably felt free because it was something she knew she shouldn't have been doing or something she wasn't "allowed" to do. Yes the mother seems much too lenient with the defendant because she does not seem to have much control over the daughter. She also does not seem to discipline her for her actions and gives her too much freedom, when she may not know how to handle as much freedom as she is given.

The defendant believes that it is ok to smoke marijuana because the defendant Is unaware of the dangers and the detriments on her health. I believe that the defendant'a mom is too lenient on her and this has a negative impact on her daughter. She does as she pleases and it got her into an unnecessary fight and now she smokes marijuana.

Q1 I think that the defendant uses because it’s the only way that she finds herself to be who she really wants to be. Because before she was forced to be the person who her boyfriend wanted her to be. And she’s at a point where she’s trying to figure out who she can be without her boyfriend.
Q2 I do believe that her mom is to lienent with her and gives her the benefit of the doubt but we all know her daughter still does whatever she wants and in a way she even tells her mom what bad things she going to do. So if the mom knows she should try to be strict about things with her daughter.

1.I believe smoking weed makes the defendant feel free because her mental health makes her feel “stressed”. She believes that smoking helps her relieve that stress.
2. I believe the defendants mother is too lenient with her daughter. This has impacted her behavior because she does not have any restrictions which allows her to do anything she wants.

Q1 The defendant most likely said that smoking weed made her feel free because it allowed her to relax. It also most likely allowed her to temporarily forget her problems such as her breakup with her boyfriend.

Q2 No I do not believe that the mother was too lenient on her daughter. As she is going to college next year and is leagally an adult she should be accountable for her own actions.

Q1: I believe that the defendant believes that smocking weed makes her feel free because of the stress going on in her life.Also because it is somthing that she chooses to do that her ex boyfriend can’t stop her from doing.
Q2:I believe that her mom was too giving in terms of freedom with her daughter. She should have seen the way she handles her freedom and acted accordingly to mold her into an independent and responsible person

The defendant said that she only smoked with her friends if they had the weed on them. She was also always stressed and had anxiety every morning. The mother seems to not have full control on her daughter and the things she does.

Due to her past relationship in which she wasn't really allowed by her ex to do anything smoking to her feels like she is finally allowed to live her life. Yes the mother does seem lenient with the defendent because is seems that she has almost no control over her daughter like when she goes out to smoke she dosen't really know who her daughter goes with.

Q1: I believe that the defendant smoked weed to escape reality because she said she was suffering from anxiety and it made her feel better.

Q2:I think she was, however, they they were very close to each other and her mom probably trusts her when she goes out which is why she is lenient

I think the defendant felt free when smoking weed Bc she felt like she was in control of something, and it allowed her to escape her anxiety. I feel that the mother is way to lax with her which allowed her to develop an attitude and sort of philosophy that makes her snap.

1) I think the defendant felt free from using marijuana because it gives a more relaxed feeling and may have helped her temporarily with her anxiety.

2) I think the mom is a bit too lenient because she hasn’t been able to get her daughter to stay away from the friends she doesn’t feel are good influences.

Q1: I feel like the reason why the defendant smoked weed to feel free was because she wanted to feel a sense of independence.
Q2: I do believe the mother was being very lenient with her, however, she is old enough to defer right from wrong so I do not believe this could have impacted her behavior.

Q1~ I believe the defendant felt “free” when she smoked due to the fact that she had a controlling boyfriend. After they broke up she decided to smoke which was something she wasn’t able to do during the relationship.

Q2~ The defendant’s mother was too lenient towards her daughter but she may not realize it. Her mother claimed that she has “complete control” over her but later on we find out the she doesn’t even really know anything about what she does.

Q1: The defendant has had problems with a boyfriend in the past. Furthermore, that thought mixed in with her anxiety may have caused her to outlook towards drugs. The drug may have also, as people say, "escape reality and responsibilities for a split second".

Q2: I believe that the defendant's mother is too lenient and trusting of the defendant. The mother was not communicating enough with her daughter. This may have also gave the defendant the idea/mentality that "nobody is looking over my shoulders I can do whatever I want". With that being said the defendant's behavior did change in a negative because her mother was being too lenient.

The defendant started to try smoking weed after she went through a heartbreak. She probably felt like she had a lot of problems so she tried something new to get away from her ‘problems.’ The defendants mom did seem very lenient; at the beginning of the session she stated “we’re besties.” She probably lets her daughter get away with anything she wants, so the daughter probably tends to act out more times than we know.

1) I think the drugs make her feel free because she goes through stress in her life and the way she gets out of thinking about it is smoking and not really paying attention to the world around her.
2) I feel like she is lenient with her child because fighting with someone isn’t the answer yet the defendant has fought many times before. If she wasn’t lenient, the defendant would’ve probably stopped fighting by now.

1. I think she feels free because it makes her not think about the problems that she is going through.
2. Yes I think the mother was to lenient. And if she would have been more strict then her daughter wouldn’t be in the situation she was in.

1. I think that smoking weed makes her feel free because she said she was depressed and suffering from anxiety so it was allowing her to feel herself.
2. I do believe that her mom was too lenient with her because she was letting her do whatever she wanted pretty much and didnt seem too mad about the situation.

Q1: I feel that the defendant felt “free” when smoking because when she smokes she might feel that the marijuana can make her feel relaxed which will take away her anxiety

Q2: I feel that the mother is lenient because she allows her daughter to smoke even when she is not supposed, even though she is turning 18 she still lives with the mother therefore it is the mothers responsibility

I believe the defendant uses because she finds a stress relief through smoking marijuana. The marijuana helps her feel from from all the stress going on in her life. Yes I do think the mother is too lenient with the defendant.This could have definitely impacted her behavior because it allows her the freedom of doing anything she likes.

1. She thinks that smoking weed helps her with her anxiety because it makes her calm down and also she does it with friends which makes her feel comfortable.

2. I don’t think the mom was lenient with the defendant because she stated that her and her mom are like best friends and that the mom trusts her.

I think that the defendant believes smoking weed makes her feel “free” because it relieves her anxiety and it makes her feel better.

I think that the mom was lenient with the defendant, they both have a good relationship with one another and so the mom would trust her whenever she would go out.

Q1: Maybe it’s the fact that it helps her feel more like herself since she has smoked it for a while, but as well because she has no one to tell her anything Soo she feels impower.
Q2: I mean yes In a way the daughter was able to go out with friends most of the time, but as well The father wasn’t able to be there and have a say in it but I’m sure in this case they wouldn’t be well I hope not.Yes when we see parents that don’t use discipline or tend to be lenient, their children act in rude manners or they just don’t actually think about their actions

Q1- I believe that the defendant felt that smoking made her feel “free” because she felt relieved and it helps to calm her so she didn’t necessarily have to stress as much .

Q2-I feel like the mom is too linnet and it does affect the behavior of the defendant it gives this voice that tells her daughter that if something ever happens again she would know how her mom would react towards the situation .

I think the defendant believes smoking weed makes her feel free because of her mental health and problems with her boyfriend

The mother is way to lenient with the defendant and it definitely impacts her behavior because there is no authority for her to answer to or consequences

Q1:The defendant in my opinion was using weed as a way of coping for the problems she couldn't handle due to having anxiety which made her feel "free" when she used weed to change her state of mind and feel better.

Adam Lizarraga

I believe that she was using the fact that it makes her more relaxed as an excuse to use the illegal drugs. At the end of the day it is still illegal for people of her age aswell. Yes I do believe that her mother is very lenient with her because she would let her do anything with little to no consequences. Her mom not being hard on her made her not care about doing bad things like smoking weed.

Abraham Ramirez P5

10/26/2018 01:30:46 pm

I feel it makes her feel free because it takes away her anxiety yes i feel like the mother was to lenient on her yes I do believe it had an affect on her because she knows she wouldn't get in trouble with her mom

Isabel Parada P5

I think the defendant felt free when smoking because it let her be at peace for awhile to get away from stree.

I do believe the mother is lenient with the defendant but that’s because they’re very close with one another so i suppose the mother trusts her a lot and gives her freedom.

David Bucio P.5

10/26/2018 01:37:20 pm

Q2: I do believe the mother of the defendant was way too lenient with her child as she could not control her child from smoking weed instead of talking to her about why she used weed and she should've been working on how she can talk to her child and get through her problems instead of letting her do what she wanted and developing rage which led her to the crime.

Danna Sanchez p.5

10/26/2018 01:38:58 pm

It probably made her feel free because she felt like it released her from her problems or made her not think about her problems.
Yes her mom is too lenient because it sounds like she does not really punish her for her actions but instead just lectures her.

Erick Ramirez p.5

10/26/2018 01:39:49 pm

I don’t think that the defendant feels free because after it’s done you go back to her reality.
I don’t think the mom had complete control over her daughter which impacted the defendant that she could do anything she wants with any consequences.

Q1: I felt like she was lying about how the way she uses marijuana , she couldn’t live with the fact that she has a short temper. She could’ve handled the situation a lot more calmer.

Q2: Yes, I do believe that she is lenient way to much, the mother should be a lot more strict toward the daughter. And also her behavior could have a major impact on her behavior.

Q1: The defendant feels free because after the breakup she felt as she could do more without her boyfriend as well as easing her stress and worries.She said it made her feel better.

Q2: The mother did seem like she was a bit too lenient because she dint really know what her daughter was up to and seemed like she dint really discipline her that much as well as giving her too much freedom

Q1:I think the defendant felt that smoking weed made her feel that she was in control of herself and relived of her anxiety.
Q2: I do believe that the mother was too lax or lenient because this would have impact her behavior and make her feel that she could do whatever she wants to do.

!. I do not know why the defendant believed smoking weed made her feel more freely. I have never personally smoked weed, so I do not know how it makes individuals feel. I also do not have anger issues, so I don't know why the girl smoked in order to feel a certain way. Maybe the defendant smoked weed because she liked the feeling.

2. I do not think the mother was to lenient. The defendant was 18 which means she is grown up. Lots of people parent differently, and the defendants mother did not punish her daughter which is not wrong. The defendants mother approached the situation differently and I do not believe the defendant's behavior has changed because her mother is to lenient.

Q1- I believe that the defendant feels that’s smoking weed makes her feel “free” for several reasons. The first reason being that’s she said it takes the stress away. When smoking weed people say it puts you in a more relaxed and calm stage which she probably felt as well. That is why she said it makes her feel “free”.

Q2-I do feel that the mother was too lenient on her daughter because it seemed as if she had no consequences for her actions. Her mother did not take any privileges away and by the way it seemed the daughter needs more guidance in her life. This could have a huge impact on her current behavior because now she knows she can get away with things like this.
