    No joke this is me being very serious with all the things Mike Tyson has been through thought his life he seriously needs to be on suicide watch. This is one of those times when people of his history start thinking about hurting themselves when they fell like there's nothing else to live for. I’m hoping I’m wrong about this thought.

    I hope Mike can hold it together.

    At the same time, 4 years old is sort of that time where it is impossible to ALWAYS watch what kids get into...

    That's what I was thinking. That's the age where they can be reasoned with and they can seem so adult sometime and you think they're just smart enough not to get themselves into situations like this.

    But at that age they like to experiment with stuff. Push buttons and all that. I agree with where it is impossible to always watch but you should know when the child it too quiet that something isn't right or they are doing something they aren't supposed to. I'm not blaming the parent at all. This was just very unfortunate event and I send out my prayers to the Tyson family.

    They are updating the story as it progresses -- this comment is from his attorney, but sums up pretty well that he was really trying to change his life.
    ______

    ...

    At Tyson's sentencing hearing, nearly a year after the arrest, his attorney David Chesnoff said his client had taken 29 drug tests without a relapse and was attending Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

    Tyson had become an example of how one overcomes problems with drugs, a violent past and poor upbringing, Chesnoff said.

    "He's tried his hardest," his attorney said, "despite coming from almost impossible beginnings."

    No parent should ever have to feel the pain of outliving their child.

    My condolences to the Tyson family. May that poor girl rest in peace.

    VERY sad. Say what you want about Tyson, but I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on my worst enemy.

    RIP.

    do you think the marketing of "The Hangover" shifts its focus now?

    Man, I watched the Tyson's new documentary and then seeing him on Jimmy Kimmel, he is definitely a changed man from his boxing days. Not to mention hes in the new movie Hangover, which he said was really fun to do. Then, all this happens with his daughter. Hang in there Mike, we know you are strong enough. Although, this might be one of the toughest loss he had in his career.

    That's so terrible. :( He does not deserve that, crazy or not.
