We all say that this wouldn't have happened when we were kids, be it the 80's and earlier. Back then our parents were able to spank us without the fear of having us taken away by child services. Back then, the fear of having my mom whoop my ass for bad behaviour (even in public! was enough make me behave myself.
Breakfast provide at school for low income families....if this family is classified as low income, why do they have a game console that is clearly not a low priced item? These people should have their kids taking away from them.
This made me feel both sad and happy. Happy that you were able to give these kids and the gentleman wonderful memories. Sad that I am unable to do the same, though maybe I could in time. Sad that with these modern times of growth that children are still living like that. Who's to blame? Their own government? Our government? Or us and our need to constantly consume and waste frivolous items?
