Saw a child get hurt because his parents are spineless

The kid was told no and he decided to go fuck himself up anyway.
I'm not seeing what the problem is, sometimes things just have to be learned the hard way.
 
I just glimpsed over it.

Colton you are dumb

Sam pao sam se ubijo - fell by himself got hurt by himself
 
Due to baby sit Colton at his house tomorrow. Thinking about cranking the front two electric stove burners wide open and tell him mommy said not to touch them.
 
Kids with those parents do well I think, compared to those with authoritarian parents, all else being equal. They grow up rude, but confident and not afraid to take risks, and in Western cultures those are the biggest things and they'll fit in good with others raised the same way. Fuck up and apologise, rather than asking for permission.
 
Were the parents and grandma fat?
Yes a little. Not huge, but chubby.

I take it we can assume these were white people?
Yes, and that's funny how obvious it is even though I didn't mention their race.

Bet if Dad was there, it wouldn't have happened
That's what I was thinking. Dads have less patience and I think that's viewed by modern society as a bad thing, but I think it's by design.

A dad issues exactly one warning, and if you don't stop, then he makes you stop. That's it. End of story. And you learn real quick that when Dad issues a warning next time, you'd better listen.

And I'm not even taking about hitting your kids or using force. It's just sticking to your guns. If Dad said he's going to take away the stick, or toy, or candy, or video game, then you bet your ass that he's going to do it. No spanking required.

And you can use rewards too, as long as you stick to your guns. If Colton was my kid I would've just said, "Hey if you sit still for rest of this line then I'll get you ice cream." And if he doesn't do it, then no ice cream. Period. No exceptions.
 
Interesting story thanks, but in the end the kid got a lesson nonetheless. He got hurt playing with fire in a way. So it might make him hesitant to do things as careless and reckless as he was.
The kid got a lesson about climbing on broken fences, but I doubt he learned that he should listen to his mom and grandma.

This kid is going to be like "I hate math" and his mom will just throw up her arms and be like, "I can't get him to do his homework. I don't know what else to do."

Colton will move to Portland and die of a heroin overdose at 19.
 
My kids act up in public, I whip they ass right there.

Had one old bitch stop one time and ask is everything ok. My wife walked around me told her "Mind your fucking business unless you want your ass whipped too"
None of this really happened.
 
You could’ve tried to help the situation by confronting the mom about the danger to the boy.
I was at a coffee shop where I was close to the entry and there were people walking in for a bit so they were holding the door open and while it was open some fat ass native chicks 2-3 yr old sticks his fingers in the hinge side gap and I had to literally run over push through some dude and prop the door open after the last person walked in otherwise this kids fingers were gone. I told the kid to get his fingers out of the door and immediately turned to his mom who started to curse at me for talking to her kid and before I could say anything a mob of people who watched it happen took over for me haha.
I also watched a kid walk right out of a store and into traffic where I had to drop my baskets, run out and jump in front of a van that was going to run the kid over, at least that parent was extremely embarrassed and thankful, but jeebus.
If you see a kid in danger, try to help.
 
I think it is natural for children to test, at some point, whether adults are full of shit with their warnings and admonishments, because frankly, sometimes they are full of shit.

God stepped in to teach this particular child that those particular warnings were useful.

If the child was not permanently injured then I think this was the best possible outcome.

If the child is engaged in seriously dangerous behavior (high risk of permanent injury or death), then the slap really needs to be hard (as in just short of permanent injury) to cause first time learning.

If the adults delivered that hard of a slap then the child might have incorrectly learned that the adults are abusers with avoiding of the adults in the future (and their useful warnings).

Because God delivered the slap, the child is more likely to learn the correct lesson, that these particular warnings from these particular adults are helpful.
 
Why didnt you man up and make sure the kid didn't get fucked up?
 
1. Of course the kid is named Colton. I think every child born after 2015 is named Colton or Hunter, or some other gay shit they think sounded super masculine.

2. That kid just learned a valuable lesson. It’s good that they let him learn it, but not good that they allowed him to continue doing whatever he was doing after they had told him to stop.

3. When my grandmother was in her 80s (maybe late 70s), I watched her put my brother, who was around 8 or 9, in a fucking ankle lock because he wouldn’t sit still and do his homework. And it worked (the ankle lock worked, not his homework. He’s dumb as shit).
 
Every child is different. many would have listened to a certain extend to their moms warnings. Some like Cotton need more guidance it sounds like. I hope the mom does a better job next time.
