Did She Go Too Far

I love how so much of the "new" parenting methods are simply do nothing at all, and NEVER anything the tiniest bit negative least you stifle the child's creativity or some other crap... -.-
 
Man,

That is just bad parenting. If the child protection center knows about this, the parent are going to be in really huge trouble.

Where did this story come from?
 
The children might have needed to be taught a lesson, but that is not the way to teach it.

So you'd rather let them get a beating? Please, that thing their mom did was tame compared to what asians get.

That's the problem these days. The kids are spoiled too much. Why do you think kids are more of delinquents drug users and actually do premarital s3x? It's because child protection blah blah blah spoil the kids too much like, "My parents won't be able to do anything with this. So I can do whatever I want."

Sure, spanking is bad if you do it ALL THE TIME. But once in a while should be able to get it through the kid's skull.
 
Ok, wow. I can't believe what I have read here.

Why in the world would a parent do this to their children. First of all, while some people have pointed out there can be bad people there that could have potentially done something to these children. I don't care that she came back after driving around the block, she endangered the lives or existence of her own children. And this to me is completely unaccetable. As a parent she is their to protect her daughters from things like that not basically play the russian roulette wheel of "I hope my children will be safe while I try to teach them a life lesson of don't bicker in the car by dumping them in some area and driving off". and lets face it there is so many other things they could have been doing. Who here on this forum has never had a fight or arguement with a sibling (unless you a only child). I bet there is not 1 single member that can claim that. Does this mean that this is the correct stance to be taken by parents to stamp it out. HELL NO

I had a horrible horrible childhood, that not only involved many instances of phsical abuse but also mental. There were many times when i was forced into the car and then driven to random places while being threatned with exactly what happened to these girls (i do not even talk to either of my parents any more and have not for many years). I know what they have been through and for people to post on here saying its ok is so morally and socially WRONG. It is not funny, try being in that position and i bet you change your tune pretty fast. Also working in retail I see lost kids every day. The pure terror in a lot of there faces followed up by the relief of when they see their parents shows that its just not a humane punishment

And as for the beatings, trust me after a while it doesn't hurt as much and so the beatings get worse. Is this what you intend to do to your children to prove that you are god. Its not right what this lady has done and it makes me sick to my stomach Yes the girls should never have split up but they should have never been in this situation in the first place if it were not for their irresponsible and bad mother.

I did not say anything about beating the children. Please read what Devastator has to say. I had friends that were beaten. They were afraid of their father, but that was the climate back then.

My guess based on the actions of the children and their mother is the whole family needs counseling.
 
Did She go too Far? No she only drove a block. (Ignore the bad joke.)

I would say just because they are bickering doesn't mean you kick them out and drive off no matter how far.
A good parent would tell them to stop it (nicely) and if they do it again ground them.
It's that simple.

God, parents these days.
 
Kids just need to listen to their parents more. 10 Dollars when you tell a kid nicely not to do something, they'll do it again in less than a week. In the end, parent wasn't wrong, kid wasn't wrong. They both just happened to be stupid.

This acctually happened to me[although it was not intended to happen the way it did and I did wander off. I was left at a K-Mart since I was cyring for a toy or game and I bugged my parents to take me to buy it. I go inside and my parents drove around the parking lot waiting and to scare me a bit, but I almost had heart attack when I walked out and no one was there. Some people helped me and I had a new family for a few minutes. I think I was about 5-7, not exactly sure, but it scared the bleep out of me.

All of you are basicily saying the kids were stupid for roaming, but think about it. You are in a car doing something bad and the next thing you know, you get kicked out of the car and your mommy and/or daddy or whovever takes care of you drive off. I bet none of you at that age would think to stay first, you'd be losing your minds and freaking out, so I do think the mom is to blame. Yes the kids could of acted smarter, but that's just it! They're kids!

You do know they were 10 and 12 right?
They should know to stay put and not wander.

That young? They are freaking 10 and 12 years old.

That's a bit strange. I mean, the one girl is only 10 years old. They might've thought they were being abandoned. Although it's pretty normal for kids to stick up for other kids, in any case, that does seem like quite a harsh thing to do if you get tired of your children bickering. Anyways, it isn't too suprising because strange things like that are seen on the news pretty often. It just overall seems like an extreme thing to do. I still don't know why the 10-year old would wander off. That's even more frightening. I just think they were too young to be put through that. If they were older, it would make more sense.

Yea, she went WAY too far. She should have learned a lesson to never leave your children in somewhere you dont know. The 10 year old scared me at the fact she wandered off.
 
Dude, in this age, 10 year olds are already old enough to swear and say bad words, they are already old enough to get kicked out of the car for misbehaving.
 
The kids needed to be taught a lesson perhaps. However, there are better and safer ways to teach. ;p
 
I agree. There are other ways such as grounding or taking away privileges that are safer and just as if not more effective.

Sometimes it isn't. I get grounded and yet I manage to sneak past the groundage :p.I'd rather give them a scare -__-

Though it really depends. You have to adapt your punishment style to your kid's character. If you knew your kid was like the girl who likes to roam around, then the mother's punishment was stupid.
 
How about we scold the mother for letting her kids go that far at that age. People really need to learn how to raise kids in a way that doesn't involve swearing and such.
 
It's the media, children tend to learn much from the media. Heck, they learn more from TV and Internet than they do with their parents.
 
The parent is pathetic. Just because they were arguing, they suddenly frighten the kids to their skull. I call this child abuse, me and my mum talk about bad parenting now days, even I a 12 year old know its crossed the line. Flashback to 20 years ago, you would never hear this. I blame the goverment too, they should take action and open their eyes.

I saw dumber actions than this, that long ago. About 25 years ago a friend and myself saw a woman leave her infant in the cart, while she loaded her shopping bags in the car. That cart was not too far from a curb and a sloping parking lot.

Flashback to 20 years ago, it was worse. Ever heard of kneeling in salt? Whipped with belt buckles and sticks? Getting beat up? Seriously, this is really tame. Also, have you ever heard the the side of the mother? the children could have been doing it for God knows how long and she got so fed up with it. Siblings fighting is not uncommon.
