I know that parenting is an inexact science.
Just trying to get a consensus.

Sounds somewhat of an overreaction, but if it was a Peanut Slab that would be a different story altogether.

No. Lol. But I’m never surprised by these kinds of stories. As a teen I knew a guy who lived in group homes, and his mom called the cops on him because he stole two dollars from her van. Of course, group home kids are all troublemakers, sarcasm yo, settle down and she wasn’t his real mom…plus he was always going AWOL and shit, so I suppose it didn’t look like much…but bitch wanted her two bucks!

Yeah I wouldn’t do that. When something like this happens, the parent’s job is to discipline their kid themselves and all o dat. I mean, at least wait until they make off with your car or some shit before calling the cops.

But that will never beat the story I heard about how a mother called the police when her young daughter was having a fit. The police came and tased the daughter. Fuck the mom, fuck the police, and fuck this world, man! :D

What does surprise me is how come the police actually arrested the kid though. What the fuck, if I was the cop, I’d charge that bitch for wasting valuable police time.

@johnpowell where have you been? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you on here!

Here is a video with more background on the case. Charlotte has started a Juvenile Diversion Program for kids age 6 to 16. they are trying to educate them and prevent bigger problems down the line.
Maybe Lateesha or Shaneequa needs classes on buying vegetables instead of PopTarts . It might help the family avoid sugarbeetes.
All joking aside she might have actually done something positive about the kid’s future.

My daughter knows full well what will happen if she ever touches my goddamn cookies.

I’d share them with her, of course. :^)

To celebrate this question, I am going to make cookies for a party we’re going to tomorrow. I’m going to make peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips in them.

Is that a mugshot of the mother that goes along with the story? That ‘splains it.

What kind of pop tarts were they? Because I just tried the new peanut butter poptarts yesterday, and they were pretty fucking fabulous IMO. I wouldn’t call the cops over them, but I would kick someone’s ass.

@jca: So, ahh… Where’s this party?

jca's avatar

@cookieman: Southern NY region.

@jca: Hmmmm, not too far from Boston. If I leave after my wife falls asleep, drive four hours, extract cookies, four hours back…
