“Don’t be a wimp”
March 17th, 2007 | by Vinny |
I saw this article a few weeks ago, thanks to Adventure Dad. In it, a group of women in Devin, England are charged with “causing… children to be ill treated in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury.” They admitted to taunting 2 children into fighting. When I say children, I should actually say toddlers.
It’s yet another circumstance where you begin to wonder whether we should be licensing parents. As it says in the article:
The boy, aged two, is seen crying after being punched in the face by the three-year-old girl and is told by one of the four women in the room “not to be a wimp or a faggot” and to hit her back.
The more time I spend on this planet, the less impressed I am by it’s inhabitants. There are not enough islands to stick these folks on.

It’s people like this that make me feel like “Mother of the Year” ’cause I surely can’t be as bad as THAT!

I thank God for parents like you and Mrs. Bernie, Maple mama. Jax, Lisa…. I’m telling you, my faith in people is not all that high when it comes to this topic, but I find that the people I associate with tend to be fantastic parents.
That’s what keeps me optimistic.

Ugly ugly people. I wonder how these women’s parents treated them?

Jeez, cock fighting with toddlers instead of chickens. Do you think the parents took bets?
My delusional mind is conjuring images of Friday night toddler brawls in smokey warehouses.
Parked outside are empty strollers.
Inside, moms with unbuttoned Baby Bjorns dangling from their chests are chomping on cigars, holding fist fulls of cash, shouting and laying bets.
