  1. Brady Galbraith — SOME parents don’t care. Not all. And nowadays you have to be cautious what you say. I’ve seen young kids, teenagers, misbehaving at a nice restaurant. At a table near me one of the young kids, about 10 I’d guess went up to a table and took something out of a woman’s purse. Other people nearby spoke up and when they took the kid, with the stolen item to the parents, they went ballistic. Not angry with their kid stealing, angry that they had touched their kid, that they put their hand on his back and guided him to their table to inform the parents. I started to say something but my wife held me down. It’s a weird world.

  2. Ed Denoy — Yes, it can get messy quick. But the man who took the kid to the parents just grabbed the kid by the back of his shirt because he started to run away. The kid wasn’t hurt, and once he was held stopped trying to get away. Before you start correcting me how wrong that was, let me share another story. My coworkers son was joint custody after their divorce, and both parents tried to make their son like them better, anything he asked for was a yes. Late? Rude? Ran across the car rooftops at the fathers apartment complex (thousands in damages), nothing was a problem. The kid was spoiled and entitled. Trouble is he turned 18, and got smart with the wrong person, then pissed off a cop, then attacked his parole officer. The kid is 22 now and looks like he’s 40, missing teeth, low paying job, and now he is polite and nice, because he found out the hard way some people should not be messed with. Sometimes people AND KIDS need to be grabbed by the collar and told "NO! That is unacceptable behavior." Before you get all SJW on me, my point is we try as parents to prepare our kids for life in the real world. Teach a kid they can’t be touched, and like my coworkers son who screamed "F' YOU A*HOLE!" At a guy who was in his way. Then he screams how he’s been wronged when the guy pummeled his face to a pulp. Yes, we shouldn’t hit kids, but sometimes a slap on the face can help them as much as a college education can.
