Breeders putting their kids in danger

Went out on on the sailboat today. Speedboats were pulling those things for kids, like an inner tube with a line well behind the boat. They were doing this in an area where one speed boat after the other was coming out for the afternoon, half of them drunk probably. DH asked how can they take a risk like that. Funny how the cf are concerned about kids in danger and there parents will take a chance like that.

Have you seen the story about the kid falling off a cruise ship? Dad was reportedly taking a picture of her "against a railing," but no one seems to know how she actually went over the railing into the damn ocean. I'd bet anything that he sat her ON the railing and she fell off, but there's no way in hell that he would ever, ever admit to that.

I'm sure it was going to be a great photo, though.

Breeders will gladly put their brats in danger if it means the breeders themselves can have fun. Then, if/when the kids get hurt or killed because of the parents' dumbassery and neglect, the breeders can sue the store/venue/property owner so they won't have to accept blame themselves.

These are the same kinds of people who will take their very small brats 4-wheeling without helmets or let them ride on a lawn mower. A broken neck for a day of fun is always an acceptable trade!

Well well well....

Passenger Gar Frantz said he was on the fourth-floor deck when he saw a child sitting on the rail of the Disney Dream cruise ship while a man was taking a picture.

This story is going around reddit right now, and I'm starting to see the comments turn from "what a brave dad!" to "what a dumbass, it's a combination of luck and seamanship on the part of the ship's crew that they survived." Now I've finally seen an actual news article that leads with "cruise ship rescue team saves" rather than "father jumps after daughter."

I agree he should have tried to save his daughter. But I do think he shouldn't be praised for that when he's the reason she needed saving in the first place. That credit should go to the crew who had to fish the two of them out of the Atlantic.

Maybe the parents subconsciously want to perform a PNA to get rid of the brat and perhaps receive a tidy sum of insurance money.

Breeders have zero sense. Most pignasties are not planned. They don't think ahead...they just kind of let life happen. And if their kids croaks, they will just make another one or they already have another one. And they can also sue the place the "accident" occurred.
