No excuse for bad parenting. However, the child seems to have behavioral issues thay sadly are tolerated. There were five in my family. All my parents had to do was give that look that we all knew too well. Payback would not be good. My three brothers were always in the doghouse, standing in corners, or worse, pulling weeds for hours and no television..
Your scenario is certainly a reflection of how the parents are and where they put discipline on the Richter scale. You may have given them pause to think about it. |
