Seriously, what the hell is going on out there?
Twice this month, we’ve already told you about parents driving their kids around to help them commit crimes. First there was the Florida judge who chauferred his kid around to burgle houses. Then there was the Indiana mother who drove her kid to the place where he was to execute a gangland killing and even told him when to shoot. Now, for the third time in just over two weeks, we’ve got another such story for you. I think this makes it some sort of ridiculous epidemic.
The model of modern parenting this time was a Los Angeles woman who used her SUV to drive her kid around to spray paint some walls. But this lady stepped things up a notch by not just driving one of her children, and not just driving two of her children, but by driving two of her children and three of their buddies. The kids are believed to be part of a tagging gang and possibly responsible for up to 100 different graffiti tags of “HIV” or “HIVC.”
The best part of the article is where it mentions that the cops involved don’t know what the mother’s motive was. Clearly she’s following the advice of parenting experts everywhere by being more involved in her kids’ lives and really finding out what they’re doing. Digging deep and getting involved in their lives, you know? And if that means caravanning around at 4:30 in the morning so they can tag some walls, well nobody said parenthood didn’t come without any sacrifices.
