The pussy didn't even have to walk home. His dad came back to get him.

When the liberals and "progressive thinking" were welcomed with open arms.

Liberals? This is Texas, land of the police state. Just goes to show that almost no situation is helped by calling the police.

Sure the father is an asshole, probably in need of parenting classes, but this is ridiculous.

While that may not be felony material, that guy is unfit to have kids. Leave an 11-year old at a fucking McDonalds?!? Almost back over the kid? WTF was that guy thinking?

When I was 12 I pissed off my mom at the local home depot, she left me there.

Not only did it tell me that my mom was pissed, and that there were reprecussions.. it also made me be ingenious, I called a cab and cabbed home and paid for it out of my own pocket.

Pussification. I swear.

and if you had a phone and money at 12 YO I bet it came from your mommy.
Irony/Exaggeration. I swear.

When I was 12 I probably had a total of $10 to my name - no fucking way could I afford a phone and cab rides.

While I certainly don't think this is a matter for the criminal justice system, I'm sorry folks, that Dad behaved very, very poorly.

Keeping your car in motion in a McDonalds parking lot with your 11 year old still clutching the door handle is NOT proper parenting, no matter what anyone says. :roll:

Agreed 100 percent. I'm all for disciplining kids, but I'm shocked at the number of people on this forum justifying the father's actions in this situation.

:thumbsup:



And Xylitol, I was indeed raised by a single parent, my mom. Perhaps that impacts my view significantly, I don't know.

edit: sorry for the thread necro, I haven't been on in a few days.

Yeah I didn't have anything like that. I paid for games with birthday and Christmas money 🙂 I had rich grandparents who gave me $50 each year on my birthday - oh man that was great. But my mom worked at the High School and my step-dad was a semi-travelling PC / network consultant, gone for 3-7 days at a time, so no real opportunity to work with either parent.

My kid brother acted up once and mom kicked him out of the car eight miles from home down a rural road. Rather than walk home, he walked to the post office and slept under one of the rugs on the floor. Mom called the cops when we got home to make sure she was legal and right. Their response? "Eight miles is nothing to a kid. He'll be fine." Granted, he was fourteen, not eleven.

Actually, I think it could have been when we became a nation of lawyers, where a law degree is valued far more than an engineering degree.

In any case, apparently the only acceptable punishment for children that act up these days is to give them a time-out. And if that doesn't work, you put them on prescription drugs to turn them into zombies.

law degrees have always been more valued than engineering degrees, this country was a nation of lawyers when it was founded, for ffs look how the founders and early presidents were.
