So this morning I was walking out of my apt and noticed three little boys playing in the parking lot..which is normal but today these little boys that were probably six years old were smashing glass bottles all over the place. This was at eight o'clock this morning..I yelled to the kids to stop and they went running to wherever they came from. My question is where are the parents where is the supervision these day? This kids are young and at eight in the morning you bet your butt i would be with my child and his/hers friends to make sure they stay out of trouble and disipline them...I know not all parents are like this but the ones that are, why do you let your children do whatever their little hearts desire? It is WRONG! You are the adult you are the person responsible for what actions your kids make!

i could get flamed by many a parents out there for saying this but here goes, the child should be under total control of the parent and if the parent has failed to do that then this will show out in the child, rules must be set when it comes to things like this and kids should be taught from as young as possible what is right and what is wrong. unfortunately parenting skills are slowly deminishing away and sooner or later it is the child that is in control of the parents, if they dont get there way then they will act in a manner which is bad, whether turning into a criminal or just crying on the floor. working in a supermarket, i see this behavior all the time and to see the parent giving in is nearly disgusting to see. parents need to use more force within there voices and not use food or toys as rewards, instead they should use compliments with the occasional treat. as for the kids that were smashing windows at 8 am. well firstly what are they doing out this early and secondly what the hell are they doing breaking others property... its just disgusting and frankly its mainly the parents fault. all you parents out there may be thinking that you are perfect parents, but just have a think about it, not too much but just think, does my child get what they want when they want it or do they always get there way... its time to take charge back, it may show off as negative results at first but things will gradually improve from there... you have to start somewhere.

I have to agree with you..about this but just to clarify the children were smashing glass bottles in the parking lot so there was no physical damage to anyone property.

Yes it is wrong but not on the kids part...on their PARENTS part its wrong for letting them out the house at 8am. Kids need there parents to discipline them and teach them whats right & wrong so if the parents lack that then the kids grow up doing whatever they want which is such a horrible thing to say but its true. I jus feel bad for the kids. They probably see there parents at some point doing that same stuff they were doing. Its all one big viscious cycle.
