DEPP VOWS NEVER TO RAISE CHILD IN U.S.
Actor JOHNNY DEPP has vowed never to raise his child in the U.S. - branding the country a truly "frightening" place.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 44, currently lives with his wife, actress/model Vanessa Paradis, and two children - Lily-Rose, 8, Jack, 5 - in rural northern France.
And despite the fact he grew up in the U.S, he is vehement about never returning to his home country with his children.
He tells the New York Post, "I'm not particularly optimistic about society. We're in an age where everything has gone too far. It's an ugly world.
"I'm truly frightened of America in terms of raising my daughter here. I don't believe that is an option at all."

I do agree with Mr. Depp except for, not just the US, but the whole world is a
scary place. The fact is we live here on this planet an must do what we can as
parents to "insulate" our kids, Not "isolate" them! They will be living in the
mess that the prior generations have created. We have been a part of it. I
believe that societies in all countries do not have a moral compass anymore to
guide humankind in what is right and wrong(I've also travelled the world Mr.
Depp)...it is just not the US. I think it is very sad that you have not lived
in our country long enough lately, and haven't been in any other "real life"
town long enough, other than LA, to know that we are still a faith believing
country and we have more towns, other than LA, that still have a fraction of a
compass, which is hopeful.
It's not just scary here. If you don't like it Mr. Depp, that's your right,
but don't dump on JUST the US because you don't like it here. I have high
regards for your abilities, but I feel you are one lost up puppy.

Why do you have this as news ?
It's not, your pathetic attempt to grab the headlines is about years to late.
