“Crystal’s Soapbox,” published each Thursday, is a column by conservative Texas mom Crystal Arcand who loves to rant about issues that relate to her kids….and yours.
You know, some people just shouldn’t go out in public – or have kids. Or maybe take their kids out in public? Whichever it is, the people in this picture definitely fit the parenting fail bill. It boggles the mind how someone could actually have the idea to put a child in a shopping cart and perch boxes atop it precariously, let alone actually do it. I mean, come on. Really??? Even my usually-oblivious nine-year-old son could see the wrong here. His words? “Well, it could fall on him and kill him!”
Okay, he was a little melodramatic there, but you get the point.
You think the picture above is frighteningly bad? You should see the whole thing at People of WalMart.com – there’s a shop vac stacked on top of the scooter box! (Don’t even get me started on the whole “you’re buying a motorized vehicle for your kid” thing – there’s not a soapbox high enough.) The amount of danger that baby is in just really astounds me. The source says it was taken on Black Friday at WalMart. As if WalMart shoppers aren’t crazy enough, can you imagine (or remember, if you went) the amount of pushing, shoving, and jostling that was going on? I seriously wonder if the child actually survived the shopping trip.
Man, I’d love to see Supernanny or Judge Judy go off on these parents.
