In response to "LZ Granderson: Blame the parents when their kids commit horrible acts. -- (link)" by znufrii

Of course. You go after the owners when a dog bites someone, right?

Lots of talk about how the system let psychos through the cracks, not enough talk about what went wrong with the parenting.

Responses:

A. dog owners can put a bad dog down (even if they were the cause of making the dog crazy to begin with) b. sometimes kids are just born that way - zeitgeist Aug 22, 12:16 1
- A. you can seek help or report your bad kid. I'm not so much blaming the parents for *creating* a monster (B and C)... - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 12:22
I think the response is overly simplistic and fails to take into account the resources, time, and energy it takes to be a good parent - znufrii Aug 22, 12:08 2
- You can say the same thing about being a responsible dog owner. But you choose to do both. - Dr.Vermin Aug 22, 12:26
- There are responsible parents in every economic, social and ethnic class. Many of them in fact. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 22, 12:11
