Inflamatory remarks: Kid arrested for opening Christmas Present

[jackofallgeeks]

There are not words to express the... anger I feel at reading This. A kid is arrested for opening a Christmas present early. Well, OK, he's arrested because his mom called the cops on him because he kept dis-obeying her. And I'm skeptical of how much ADHD plays into this, mostly because medication isn't doing anything.

This isn't the first time I've heard of parents calling the cops on their kids for misbehaving, and the simple fact that they would, and have, and... It's beyond my scope of understanding.

People who can't parent shouldn't have kids.

It's time to revoke a few parenting licenses... wait.


Also, let's not forget the culture that has built up the getting and acquisitiveness that is now associated with this holiday season rather than the giving, the compassion and togetherness... which culture the parents in this case are clearly buying in to.
