Kids these days!

What would you guys do in this situation?

My wife and I along with our 3 young children rode our bikes to a local park last night. Not long after we got there two boys around the age of 12 rode up on thier bikes and immediately began to trash a bench swing. Some time goes by and the whole while one of the boys was talking on his cell phone, cussing up a storm and acting all tough to some younger boys that were playing on the swings.

My wife knew I was geting po'd as she was trying to get me to head back home, but I had already had a crappy day and decided that I had heard enough f'bomds from a little snot nose brat. I asked him nicely to clean up the language, that my kids didn't need to listen to that. The little smart A$$ then proceeds to ask me "What are you gonna do about it?" /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif I walked briskly towards him and asked him what his name was and who his parents were? No answer just a "Back off or I will call 911" As he dialed 911 I told him to hand me the phone so that I could push SEND.

My wife told me to come on so I headed back and climbed on our bikes and headed towards home. The little SOB kid did have the last word as I rode away as he called me something that rhymes with SAG.

I know if I would have even touched his hand I would have been in BIG trouble but damn that kid needed an adjustment in a bad way. Who is raising these kids?

Am I just getting old or what? /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif
 
It is scary what we are going to have to deal with in 20 years with the lack of respect kids have today.
 
No one raises these kids. T.V. & video games do. IMO they come from families that the parents don't have their priorites straight and don't have the time or day to even act like a parent.
 
They're everywhere. I have come close to jack'n them. IF they were to disrespect me in front of my family I will just let the cards fall. I mouthed off to an adult when I was younger....happened one time and he scared the shit out of me. That's the problem.....someone needs to care enough to knock some sense into them. Welcome to getting old.

and we're all going to pay the price I'm afraid...very sad /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif
 
Thank God we live in the Mid-West.....

How would you like to try and raise kids in California?

Go to U-tube and do a search for "gangs"...

Back to your post...generations of poor parenting.
 
Kids these days have absolutly no dicipline, most likely due to a lack of parenting as previously stated. I think you were OK in confronting him verbally but in these sue happy days that's as far as i would take it.

It all comes down to parenting and parents these days have got thier priorities all screwed up. When you're kids are being raised by the internet, video games and the TV what else do you expect?

Big story up here the last couple days. A family was in the parking lot of an ammusement park and a "thug" slapped this guys 12 year old girl on the back side. He confronted him like any father would do. The punk got on his phone, called 6 or 7 of his friends and beat the guy to a pulp. The midwest isn't even safe for a family anymore.
 
Yup, bad parenting and the inablility to discipline kids anymore. When I was younger, I'd be afraid of getting smacked for doing anything wrong. Nowadays, the kids call the police on their parents if they hit them.
Its a sad deal

You said a mouthfull there.
 
My parents beat the HE!! out of me and im looking forward to beating the HE!! out of my kids...... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

seriously tho, it is a lack of parenting but that is not an excuse for personal behavior, they make the concious decision to be "bad", just as easily as they could choose to be polite! at that age, they know the difference!

in today's day and age, you made the right call, but i would have been sooooooooo pi$$ed it would have been hard to handle as well......

dang kids anyhow......

/forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif
 
Wow, you handled that better then I would have....

It would have taken everything I had not to insert my boot into his backside.......

Nothing that ticks me off worse then a kid that lacks respect... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

Somebody needs to put that kid over their knee.........

We finally agree Thomas. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

Parents have the initial influence on their kids but it is not always a lack there of parenting that make them act that way.
A lot has to do with their peers,the kids themself and what society will let them get away with. My boy backed talked me and called me the fbomb once and I back handed him in a heartbeat. DHS was threatened to me by him and my Ex. I said let the chips fall where they may.
He does not mouth to me anymore.

Kids that can get away with it know this. Shoot in California you can not even spank a kid and in time it will spread here. Teachers can not even disipline them anymore.

In regards to the mouthy boys in the post you did well. You can not touch them and he knows it.
The kid will either change his behavior or have a long road to go. Hopefully something helps him wake up.
End of my book sorry.
 
I think I'm going to take a tough kid out hunting. Maybe one that likes to beat the tar out of punks. Get on his good side. That way if something happens like this story, I can just dial a number of my own. Bad assed Tommy would come and put the fear of God into that kid. About your only option in that case. Oh, and if some punk put his hand on my daughter's backside like that one post, I don't care how many punks that kid called. I'd die swingin'!

I agree 100%. At least MN passed thier CCW law so I can defend myself. It's just distrubing that society has hit such a low point. It sounds like this guy almost did die trying to defend his family.

The pussified punk that put his hand on that guy's daughter wasn't even a kid - he was over 18, as well as many of the little punk bastard friends he called to come help him jump that dad from behind and beat the living crap out of him causing skull fractures - all while in front of his wife and the 12 year old girl in the parking lot to Valley Fair.

Who knows what a guy would do in that situation if you were a bystander that saw those events unfold but I can't help but think that any man with a sole would have done something to help that dad if anyone was around. The sad thing is that if anyone jumped in to help and put the hurt on one of those little mother effers (tire iron, running one of them over, a beater in your truck, etc.) the courts would end up frying you instead of locking up the little punk and throwing away the key. AAAAGH! It enrages me with what kids/people get away with because of what society as become.

It is highly unlikely that he would have had time to get his phone. Sexually assaulting my daughter is going to get someone put in the hospital. Perhaps that someone is me but there would have been no talking in that instance had it been me.
 
ditto......

my brain would have shut off and things would have gotten ugly!!!
