Mom should have defiantly got a dousing also. I think half and half would have been appropriate.

I think he needed to wait around until she PAID for that juice/milk...then dump it on them both.
I can't stand parents like that. Her poor child is going to be in jail fairly soon, since no one (beyond a stranger) will tell him hitting is wrong, especially with a weapon like a shopping cart.

I agree with you, although my perspective has been changed recently due to the relationship I'm in. Never underestimate the power of love to make a parent completely blind and oblivious to the bad things their children do. Especially single mothers with strong maternal feelings who believe they're doing what's best for their child by never being critical of them...

On the plus side I've been experimenting with methods of child discipline, my partner now believes I've been studying parenting books since I'm getting good results, but in reality I've just been indulging my inner-scientist and figuring out what works best without resorting to a good beating

is it me or does it look staged/fake? Because really, having to deal with that and I'd be Breaking News on the local TV station.

If it happened in the US, it's staged. Someone would have gotten sued. If it happened anywhere else in the world, not a problem.

That's one of the biggest problems in this country: Parents who love their children so much that they let them do whatever the fuck they want create exactly the same type of monsters as parents, if any, who ignore/neglect/leave their children to do whatever the fuck they want.

I'm sickened by parents who just sit there ignoring their kids or occasionally ask them if they could please find it in themselves to perhaps decide to stop their bad behavior.

Real parenting means teaching your offspring to live in a society and be conscientious and considerate of others, not placating them by feeding their bad behavior with positive reinforcement and hoping desperately they'll parent themselves.

I always think of a kid as starting out as an ugly pile of soft, wet clay. You as a parent must get your hands dirty and form and shape that thing into something beautiful, otherwise it'll just harden into a horrible mess that can never be made right again.

Of course it's staged.

...or do you think every store has cameras hidden between the MARS bars and the National Inquirer?

Agreed, although I'd say the problem swings the other way too. I've seen parents who just don't give a shit about their kids and let them run riot.

Totally. I imagine I wasn't as clear as I'd hoped, but that's precisely what I meant by:

Parents who love their children so much that they let them do whatever the fuck they want create exactly the same type of monsters as parents, if any, who ignore/neglect/leave their children to do whatever the fuck they want.
