Children running wild unsupervised in Target

[WeLoveLilo05]

Of course I have.

But from the responses I've been reading on various Dis threads lately, it's apparently MY problem.

care to elaborate? Not sure what you mean?

It seems the kids were pretty safe from anyone taking them... they seem to be so bad that whoever took them would bring them back!

Just kidding there but for real, you can't imagine the things someone working in retail sees day in and day out! I worked at a grocery store for over 7 years and had to go to court one time because a kid was standing in a buggy and I told the mom to make him sit down and she snatched the buggy throwing him on his head on the floor. She refused treatment for him and then later sued the store for her making him fall! OP, it sounds to me like you ran across Bebe's kids!!

Never Mind ...

I've decided not to elaborate ...

I've been saying for a while now that the most peaceful and quiet place to be when there are unruly kids around, is by their parents.

Wow! Never thought of this! I'll have to keep it in mind for future use!

I know I wouldn't keep kids who acted like this!!

Do you know how the law suit turned out? Hopefully the mom didn't get "rewarded" for being a jerk. It is sad for the little boy tho. I hope he wasn't really hurt. You do feel bad for kids who don't have a chance in this world, with parents like that.

It is really too bad that people do not have to pass some basic competency exam to be a parent.

OUCH! Poor child. People just have no sense.

I was in a big store a couple of years ago (not name it, but it starts with W and ends in Mart ) and there were these kids running with a cart from the back of the store by the dairy dept all the way straight through to the meat dept (one big main aisle). The kid pushing the cart lost control of it and a toddler that was in it came flying out. Mom had a fit and started yelling at the kid. Where was she when he was running with the cart in the first place?

Oh I hate that! I was in walmart the other day and there were kids that were totally out of control, opening cereal boxes, opening bags of candy. I swear the mother bought $40 worth of that stuff. It was INSANE!

Control your kids in public spaces! PLEASE!

The mother wasn't upset that one of her kids might have gotten hurt, she was upset that she got caught being a neglectful idiot. IF she and her offspring had been in the store alone and/or no-one else was within hearing, she most probably would not have cared.

agnes!

It was kind of cold last night to be barefoot in New Jersey! Good thing she was looking at shoes.

When I read stories like this I wonder why God gives children to some people and not to others?

Tell me about it. Here I am, a college educated, happily married, professional woman who may never be able to have children of her own and I see people out there who let kids run wild and aren't even appreciate of what they have. I went to a store today and there was this woman with THREE kids who was preggo with another and was yelling at them the whole time she was in the store. I tell you, it makes me question my belief in God when I see something like that.

Those are probably the same type of parents that take their kids to the beach and pay no attention to where they are. They could get kidnapped, drown, lost, etc. and these parents haven't a clue where their kids are. I guess they just wait until everybody leaves the beach at the end of the day and find their kid that way!

ugh! My daughter always tends to gravitate towards those children at the beach and I get stuck watching a whole bunch of kids and saying to myself....once again...where is this little one(s) mom?
