Has the world gone mad? When is it that parent's take responsibility for their children's actions and use this opportunity to teach them a lesson before they are killed in a senseless auto accident?

Oh, all of a sudden the kids were "scared" because they didn't know who was following them. What about back there when they were going double the speed limit and passing cars like crazy and driving recklessly They weren't scared then were they?

We have stopped police car chases here in LA County because they are dangerous. Now the police just follow the person at a safe distance.

This reminds me of a very minor accident that happend on our street. Boys were skateboarding and one boy fell off his board and hit his head. The boys had bumped each other and he was hurt. The mother arrived and started screaming at the father of the other boy. I am going to sue you! I am going to sue you!

I calmly asked "where is your boys helmet?" It is a law that skakeboarders wear a helmet - where is his helmet? No response. In the meantime the father was comforting the boy, covering him with a jacket and checking his injury. The mother kept screaming about how she was going to sue him for everything he had. She was not tending to her son. So what was her priority?

It is a shame that there are not mandatory classes for good parenting.
