Seven Year Old Steals Car Gets No Video Games For Weekend
I have a 4.5 yo nephew and I can't imagine him ever deciding that it was ok to do something as wrong as driving a car that wasn't his or doing other very WRONG things when he is that age. I don't blame Grandparents, Parents, Aunts, and Uncles teachers coaches or anybody else for how they "made the kid do this or that" or more than that how video games made the kid not do those things. Could the child choose to do something else beside video games twenty-four seven? I know my nephew, if I could explain to him what happened, would understand what it means that someone did something wrong if I told him a child did something with an adult car--how would that have to be explained to a 7 year old? I wouldn't even have considered that an option when I was 7 years old.w As far as the addiction to tv is concerned:My almost 5 year old nephew has plenty of ideas of things he likes to do besides tv and even if he did get more into watching tv that wouldn't be a good enough of an excuse for him to do something that would be called criminal in 5 years. (and I hope has legal pumishment attatched to it. Even if it is just paying for what was broken if anything. I am so frustrated when I hear about these types of things. Makes me realize I am growing up as an adult to a nephew who is part of a general group called his generation who don't care to be told what to do or to respect that there is right or wrong. I guess I do blame someone besides the child who is responsible for their actions. I blame parents who are so ill-involved in their kids' lives that they are doing stuff like this to get negative attention on themselves. Sad world we live in when 8-11 years olds are doing things that used to be for 12-15 year olds, if they chose to, to do!!!
