Update concerning Bounds, Kylen

In addition to learning new information from Facebook from a friend in the family, I received this comment on my last post about Kylen.

Ok, so I have held my tongue long enough. I am not going to sit here and read anymore slander about my son.

My son Kylen bounds is mentally retarded. He has always wanted to go into the military and when he was in high school they let him into the JROTC and he loved it. But because his mental IQ is not the level that the military wants he can not go into anything. My son would be the best for the US and the military cause he loves it so much and would serve proud.

I know that what he did was wrong and believe me when I tell you we tell him every day that he need to stop obsessing about the military and move on with his life. Now the restraining order that someone posted on here was for his girlfriend and him. His girlfriend is mentally ill as well and we wanted all phone calls and emails to stop between them that is why there is a no contact order with his name listed. As for the uniform you can call the National Guard in Tacoma and yell at them for giving him that. The patches he ordered them online. You can order them from a website and you don’t have to show them any paperwork as to your rank. now think about this people how many other people out there are doing the same thing?

Kylen was just one that got caught. He did his time for it and now is trying to move on with his life. Please as a mom of a mentally ill kid i beg you to drop all of the hateful post about him and put yourself in my shoes for once. Think about how hard it is to raise a mentally ill child,who loves the military so much that when we take him to the recruiting offices and they tell him not to cry. I hope that me posting this will help you all understand what I am going through as well as him.

Now I send my thanks to all the veterans out there that have served or are serving. I have family that is in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines right now. My father in law as well as other friends serve in Vietnam. my grandfather that served in ww2. I have had friends that I have lost loved ones in war so I know that I want to thank each and every one of our veterans for protecting our lives. May god bless each and everyone of you.

So looking back at the post with this information does put things into a different light. So with that being said I am removing that post from public view.
