Aww, Tamstrong, that has got to be hard to watch. For your nephew, crazy is normal. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that. Nevertheless, even if it's hard for him to accept, and even if it doesn't change his behavior, the love and affection you give him will have an impact.

 

That video is old. Lamilton managed to do it again and earn him not only another time slot on the news but a episode of Boondocks too.

 

They might as well get this little guy fitted for an orange jumpsuit and teach him how to do the "perp-walk".

 

My brother had a case similar to this when he was a probation officer. A 6 y.o. kid took the mother's car on a joy ride. He was so small that he couldn't see over the dashboard and consequently hit two or three parked cars as he drove down the street. My brother said that he interviewed the kid and asked what happened. The little boy said, I wanted to go for a ride so I got in the car and put it on "D" and it went".

There was another story in the news fairly recently about a mother who gave her very young son the keys to the car to drive his even younger brother to the store to purchase school suppliers. The kids were injured in an accident.

It makes you wonder about the parenting skills of some adults.

On a totally unrelated note, thinking about the lack of parenting skills made be think about an incident involving an incredible lack of parenting. As a kid, I recall riding with my father when he suddenly stopped the car in the middle of a residential street while it poured rain. He jumped out of the car and went to the front of the car and picked up something from the street. He walked across the street to a house and knocked on the door. When a lady opened the door he handed her what he had picked up in the street...a toddler that was sitting in the middle of the street.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread.

 

i feel so sad when i see things like this. i don't think about the punishment the child should receive, i think about his upbringing and why he is like he is. children are not born bad, i think it's a learned behaviour. he obviously hasn't had love, guidance, support and direction in his short life thus far. it's a damn shame.

 

It's true..

Having a stupid name makes you stupid.

 

This is not always true. I believe that some children are born with evil traits and bad intentions no matter what. You can give them all the love and affection in the world but they're gonna be who they're gonna be regardless.

 

Lol.

 

i don't know about that. having held my children in my arms directly after giving birth to them and looking in their eyes, i don't believe there is any evil or bad in them...they are a blank slate, sponges to learn behaviours, rights and wrongs from you. they do have their own little personalities of course, but i honestly don't believe that any child is born bad.

 

Perhaps that's because your children had some very special mothers who were determined to allow them to be the best they could be. If only there were more loving mothers like you two lovely ladies.

 

:smt058 thank you tony...!!! but i must point out that i am not the only one to be praised for my children...you know the saying "it takes a village to raise a child"...it certainly rings true. i've been very blessed to have a wonderful relationship with their father, then i have my dad and friends who support both myself and my children. they are not just a product of my love, they are products of everyone that they are surrounded by.
