If I ever did something remotely close to what this girl is doing, my father would shoot me first & then disown me.

@lo

I was rooting for a car to hit her.

That's the problem. Parents want to be their kids’ friend instead of their parents. So these little fucktards are nothing but disrespectful.

@umad80

Wtf happened? When did properly disciplining children become abuse?

@lo

Sometime in the 90s, I think. Definitely, by the 2000s, you could get into trouble. Although, most don't know that an open hand on the butt is legal.

Back in the 80s, I talked back to my mom and she slapped me across the face. 😂 I never did it again!

@umad80 @lo Because the only way to disciplinate your children is to slap them accross the face or spank their butt.
@thenorthern @umad80 @lo

violence or not, you cannot teach what you don't know. An adult with no respect cannot grow a child with respect. Violence is just an illusion, like "I am an asshole, but I can teach him with violence".

@loweel @lo @thenorthern @umad80

Another factor (is this up to debate?) is the people are autonomous and not everything can be blamed on one's parents.

This moral flaw - blaming parents, not the individual - may be more detrimental than choice of discipline methods.

@SecondJon @loweel @lo @thenorthern

Utter bullshit.

If you don't teach your child anything: manners, respect, etc., they can't possibly understand what they are.

If you don't teach your child not to touch a hot stove, are they just going to go, ”Huh, better not touch that.”? Or will they touch it and learn the hard way?

We’re given the task to teach our children for a reason. It's up to them to use those lessons.

@umad80 @loweel @lo @thenorthern

Agreed.


It's up to them to use the lessons given,which coffee from parents and others. In this video, we have no evidence of parents giving or not giving lessons on morality.

Why do people rush to blame someone who isn't in a video (the parents that wet know nothing about) for the choices made by the person in the video.

I've got multiple kids. They all make different choices as children and will certainly continue to do so as adults. They're individuals making their own choices. We have limited influence over others, even our own children.

@SecondJon @loweel @lo @thenorthern

I don't disagree that we don't know the parents, but respect is taught.

My brother had a drug problem that eventually took his life. So I say this as someone who doesn't blame my parents.

But taking drugs is a choice that he did because of the issues he had.

He was never disrespectful.

Manners aren't something you gain or lose all by themselves.

Yes, respect, like self control or any other virtue, has to be taught. But anything taught also has to be learned. It's a two way street.

I am sorry for your loss.
