I’m not an enemy of teaching your children proper behavior. I’m an enemy of the idea that the collective can do a better job than biologic parents.

That makes me a fool in your eyes. I’ll remember that.

When biological parents fail to do their job then we all have to clean up the mess.

In old times(or in old-fashioned churches)those people attending are reminded to help the newlyweds live up to the vows.

It DOES take a community to teach and shape a child.no ONE person or even both parents can do the whole job. If the community is good people the child will most likely turn out well;if not good people....

The American conservative embraces hard work AND working with others,else this nation would just be a bunch of selfish squabbling freeloaders....

I happen to agree with you. The man who bought 23 pies acted out to hurt the child, which made zero sense, because the issue was not the pies to start with....it was the lack of attention the boy was getting from the mother at home. The pies just gave the boy a place to divert that anger to get attention in a negative way. Evidently the man buying the pies had a similar problem with his childhood....he acted juvenile.

Schoolyards and buses are full of swearing and cuss words, and if you spank your child in public you will be arrested because some liberal will call 911. I always walked away because a fit stops if it has no audience.

In the years I taught criminal justice, the drugs and juvenile justice were most interesting, there were reasons children acted out and it wasn’t a lack of discipline but a lack of attention and love. If they cannot get positive attention then they will find a way to get negative attention.

Parenting back in our parents time was different but now the whole family can be seperated by government, and it is not worth allowing your child to be taken for a spanking in public.....other methods work too.

No you are not a fool. You observed an adult acting out just like the boy.
