Horrible Parents or just poor parents?

Okay, so there are people who are horrible parents, they beat their children and other horrible things I do not even want to talk about. Then there are just people who make poor parents, poor as in quality. Now what type of parents are poor quality? I posted a picture of two parents on a crotch rocket motorcycle with their tiny child smashed between them, no helmet of course, overweight dad does not even have a shirt on. This is just all around unsafe and dangerous. You can get a ticket for children under a certain age not being in a booster seat or car seat (at least where I am you can). So needless to say just squishing your child between you and your spouse is NOT a safe way to ride around on a dangerous motorcycle. The poor child can't even turn their head and it does not look like the breathing situation is that great either.
Do you think these parents would be classified as bad or just poor quality parents? On the site that the picture is from there are more pictures of poor quality parents.
I've even seen pictures where a mother was posing in a sexy situation and her child was like right to the side barely off camera! There is a video somewhere of a woman dancing in her underwear and her young child is actually taping her saying "shake it mommy!". WTF? Does that not sound very wrong to you? These kids are going to have problems growing up. You just do not do those types of things, it is gross to behave like that in front of your children. I wonder if that can be considered some sort of neglect or something. I mean, some parents just need someone to sit them down (someone with authority like CPS) and just explain to them that that kid of behaviour cannot go on. I do not think they should just take their kids away or anything people make mistakes and these young women seemed to be young (probably single) parents. Anyway, what do you think about people who behave this way?

I saw this video a few weeks ago,I don't know if these was the same one and the mother was dancing with her underwear on meanwhile the children were slapping her on the but saying shake it and they were throwing money at her as if she was a stripper and they were a paying customer. Just watching that I was outraged and felt that If I knew who she was I would have called Child protecting services. The thing that I I see in this world that is crazy, You need a license to do everything but to be a parent. Being a parent is the most important roll that you could ever have in life and that is one that people should have to prove that they are able to handle the blessing and responsibility.

I certainly agree with you! I did not see that video exactly but it is sad that there is more than one, or more than one woman doing the same thing and having her children participate in it. That is just horrible behaviour. I do not care about the dancing on camera in your underwear, but doing it in front of your children and even having them participate just makes me feel sick. =(

I cant imagine people acting like this and doing such thing but it happens everyday and it's so sad. I've been blessed with 5 beautiful children that my husband and I love and cherish I guess this is why I don't have any watching my children. I stay home and take care of them I just can't imagine what goes through people minds sometimes. My husband and I do our best everyday single dayd to do right by our children and take care of their needs and wants and then to hear stories like this just makes me sick to my stomach. what is wrong with people I just dont get it I mean they make a choice to have a child at least be responisble enough and take care of them.

Yeah that is scary. I do not have kids yet but I plan to and I know I will still be in school then (working on my masters/doctorate) so I will have to be away sometimes and a babysitter will be inevitable. But I know I will have nanny cams in the common areas like the baby's room and the living room. I will let the nanny know they are being watched too, so they can't say I am invading their privacy lol. I mean I've even seen from those news shows or whatever that even people who are with nanny/babysitter companies that have background checks and references have been caught abusing the kids on cam like picking babies up by their arms and smacking the little kids in the head and stuff. I mean, for a parent that would be unacceptable, for a nanny that is ridiculously unacceptable. I mean, some kids are really bad and I could see the nanny shouting at my kids if they were being really bad or having to haul them up off the floor from a tantrum, but not hitting my kids or abusing them. If my kids were so bad that they were like spitting or hitting the nanny I would be too embarrassed to even hire one, but still there shouldn't be any excuse for the nanny even hitting your kids, they can call you if they can't handle it and then they can leave. 5 kids sounds like a lot! I bet that takes a lot of energy and time, but I bet it is good to be able to see more of your children's lives then if you had to be away from them all day. Most people do not get to stay at home with the kids so you are lucky you can be able to do that and I hope that in the future I will be able to stay home most of the time with my kids too.

I can say, these child are the product of lust. Their parents are not even thinking of educating and nurturing their kids towards a good way, instead they just want their lust to be satisfied and when happen to be borne pregnant with child, they may classify them as a product of mistakes. These type of people doesn't deserve to get their place in community, instead perhaps there's a place for them to be lock out and banned from doing such things.

Thank you for your response. I agree, these young women probably had these children with someone they were just sleeping with. I mean, it would be sad if the father knew their children were being witness to their mum acting that way. I know all the men I know would absolutely FLIP if they knew their kids were being exposed to their mum's ill behaviours and they would take their kids out of that situation.

Yes i Agree, there are parents abused their child,and it feel sad for me as parent that some children,no one will ever love their child except their parents, because we gave them life in this world.and for those parents abusing with their children, the don't have the right to become parents.

Hi there, yes its really horrible. i have also seen one video who the sun is around one half around(who child can walk at least) was doing with the mother. Child was wearing underwear but still its look really horrible. i am sure that kid doesn't have idea what he is doing but mother was having fun and laughing, and who shooting video(one another women) was also laughing. Private things shouldn't be do in front of kids. It will effect the kids and will tell to other people also because i have also seen some kids saying story about what their parents do in front of them.
