Parents of the year award

OK, SSS, what happened when the local fire department found out about this? Tell me the kid got a lecture (at the very least). Preferably the parents got fined heavily. BTW, what does CPS think about their parenting practices?

I was not there for long once the fire department arrived but I do remember the kids little sister or cousin was standing there with them. she told the security guards about what a bad kid he is and how he doesn't listen to anyone. I am pretty sure the kid got a lecture and I really hope that the parents got fined. maybe they will learn to keep a better eye on their child.

Ok, the geese thing is going too far now. He did it, he was fined, end of story. Moving along.

I'd like to give an honorable mention to all the parents who refuse to control their young in a simple way. Kids who have screaming tantrums nonstop in grocery stores and movie theaters are particularly annoying, and restaurants are dreadful when you get a family of howlers next door.

Some parents just need to hit their kids more, or something. Before people object, there is a world of difference between hitting your kid (spanking) and beating your kid. I realize some kids can be particularly hard to raise, but I can't think of any situation where it would be okay for a kid to scream like that unless they were in trouble.

I used to look around urgently whenever I heard a kid scream. Now I ignore them and wish them ill. I wonder what will happen when a kid is really in trouble? I have a hard time telling between an energetic wail and a panicked one.

These parents are far too many, but they deserve something. An honorable mention, perhaps?
