What's Eating Ryan's Son?
Redmond O'Neal is pissed off.... either he wants to be alone, or he's in a wanky mood because he was charged yesterday with felony possession of methamphetamines, along with daddy Ryan O'Neal.

2. This kid breaks my heart. He's been in a house of hell for his entire life. No doubt he was abused by his psychotic father and enabled to do drugs and ignored much of the time. I'm sure both of his parents were too busy doing their own thing. The kid has been on drugs since he was very young. That is his parents fault and he hasn't had a chance. His entire youth was lost and it is tragic. I pray for him that he can find some way to turn his life around before this kills him and maybe he can help others like him. Good luck Redmond! Some of us are on your side!!!!

3. Hang in there Redmond. I hope something good comes from this and it's a chance to get the help you need. Stay off the drugs that kill, like meth!!! Good luck.

4. It just goes to show money can't buy happiness. The kid's life has been frozen in this drug hell since he was about 10 or 11 years old. He never had proper parenting and has probably never been truly happy. His father must be extremely selfish. With Ryan it was never about the kids, it was always about satisfying himself. It's just sad. I hope his life gets better soon.

You have no idea. He's never had a normal life. I'm sure he would trade all the toys to just have love and normalcy in his life. He has been addicted to drugs since he was very, very young. I blame his parents 100% for that. Where were his parents when he needed them? It sure looks like they were too busy doing drugs themselves. Ryan O'Neal was blessed with this precious child and he screwed up his life by enabling him and abusing him. I don't blame the boy. I feel so bad for him. I've seen glimpses of his tragic childhood play out in the tabloids over the years and it isn't pretty. His brother Griffin has revealed some very ugly things about Ryan. I just hope he can overcome the obstacles and become a better person than the people who raised him.

8. I've never understood "meth addiction" and how it makes people lose health, mental stabiliy, ect . . . . . ? You'd think as soon as thier bodies had HAD ENOUGH or A LITTLE TO MUCH thier bodies and minds would protect them from continuing. If they were lab rats or monkeys I'd understand. You'd think mind over matter would matter in these matters but I guess not. They're like dirty Cops on "THE BLUE" they can't stop by themselves.

9. God this kids a loser. Spoiled rich brat. He's one of those celeb kids that will never amount to anything. Like Christian Brando. I remember seeing a national enquirer at my grandma's house about 10 years ago with redmond smoking a bong on the cover and kind of figured how his future would progress.

11. Ryan and Redmond need to grow up.
Redmond, pull it together for your mom. I"m sure she doesn't need the extra stress on worrying about you and fighting cancer
Ryan, you're a loser. You're a old man, you should know better
Farrah, Get well and run for the hills. Get far away from Ryan. He's the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

12. Anybody that does meth with their kids or knows that their kid is on meth should just be taken out back and given the Old Yeller treatment. Shame on Ryan for being such a crap parent and shame on Farrah for being a freaking mess as well that is so out of it that she isn't trying harder to get the kid to seek help.

14. Sure, this kid's upbringing may not have been the best, but he's had much, much more than millions of other kids that haven't turned to drugs to screw up their lives. He he has had choices to make and he made them. No one puts that pipe in his mouth or that needle in his arm. I myself am a recovering addict so I know what I'm talking about. As hard as it may be, he can get clean and stay clean if he wants it bad enough. Unfortunately, it takes work which is clearly something Redmond has never had any interest in. Drugs? Hell yeah! Get clean? Nah, why bother when I have a dad that enables me? The argument that he's had a tough life make me want to throw up--stop blaming everyone but yourself Redmond, and start acting like a man! Start thinking about someone besides yourself and get your head out of you sphincter!

15. Drugs and stupidity aren't this kid's only problems--how in the world did two such great looking people ever have such a twerpy goofball for a kid? And, what's with the tats Redmond? Tell ya what--if you wanna look like a tough guy, stop doin meth because it makes you skinny and skinny guys look weak!
