Pathetic. The parents don't want to parent, and would rather the gov do their job for them. And what of those who don't mind their kids getting a treat at the park? These parents should be ashamed of their foolishness.

Isn't that the mindset of most Americans these days ?
Liberals think they are supposed to be their childs best friend and that they can't ever do something to hurt their childs self esteem. The little ones are just to fragile to hear the word NO or to get their backside whacked a couple times. What happens? They end up being spoiled brats - who think the world owes them something - wait - isn't that part of the definition of liberal?
Your so right, and this why there is so many spoiled brats, hate saying this but that is true.
Too many parents today do not want the responsibility of discipling their children, are they too busy, just want to be a friend, don't have the answer, but see this happening way too often these days.
I see some children in department stores, or a toy store, when told no, they cannot have that pitch a screaming fit, throwing the legs, the arms, punching, what is this crap. The screaming got so loud, my ears actually started hurting.
And your right when a child is spoiled so badly from when they are younger, they grow up, thinking that they are different and special. And that the world revolves around them.
For those of you who do believe in discipling your children, good for you.

I know a few conservatives who buy whatever their kid asks for, doesn't have to be a special occasion, the kid asks for something and the kid gets it.
Sorry, but this is democracy in action. If those parents can generate enough support to effect a change in the city or state statutes, that's their right as free citizens to do so.
On the other hand, this is the kind of stuff you'd better be prepared for when you buy into the obesity "crisis" hogwash.
These are the same adults who expect their 3 year-old to sit perfectly still for two hours at Olive Garden while they have their meal - then act surprised when the child starts to fuss.
Wow, a 4 year-old got upset because they couldn't have ice cream??
I mean, the nanny probably had to stop texting for 30-40 seconds to deal with this....

Ah, no. These are the people who let their child run all over the Olive Garden, take food from other diners' plates and then act surprised when they are asked not to come back.
Parents who actually expect their child(ren) to sit still are few and far between.

Sadly, there are a lot of people with children who have absolutely no idea how to manage their child(ren)'s expectations or behavior. Or, they just don't want to bother.
Easier to make it someone else's problem and fault then to parent one's own children.
