A woman was carrying her infant in a carrier into which she was stuffing items. Kids have been trained to be distractions so the adults can pilfer at will. If a child is crying and clearly in distress, everyone's attention is on the child.<br /><br />Parents teach their children all sorts of wrong things by example. The home that is always stocked with printer paper and ink cartridges that come home from the office teaches a serious lesson about stealing as a perk of employment.<br /><br />Kids listen and they understand more than the adults give them credit for. When a fender bender turns into a suit against the other driver and the child hears the parent describe something other than what really happened, then lying for financial gain is a lesson learned.<br /><br />Parents commit acts of child abuse all the time and it has nothing to do with physical punishment. Like the line in the song from "South Pacific" about prejudice, "you've got to be carefully taught...before you are six or seven or eight", felonious behavior can be a family value, too.Bethhttp://www.murderbytype.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-29176519207847155982011-08-22T08:30:01.676-04:002011-08-22T08:30:01.676-04:00Leighton, you make my upcoming trip to São Paulo t...Leighton, you make my upcoming trip to São Paulo this week seem more and more like a bad idea. Gangs of kids on the street really aren't anything new though. If memory serves me right, the frustrated reaction from the police in the past has been to shoot the kids. But then, as you have recently written, the police get caught and the judge who is going to prosecute them is murdered. Why can't the laws about dealing with youthful offenders be modified? Oh, I forget, this is Brazil where the nuts come from.Howard Mardernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-91405887596442358812011-08-22T03:22:25.643-04:002011-08-22T03:22:25.643-04:00"Oliver Twisted," Lenny."Oliver Twisted," Lenny.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-86043798726932080532011-08-22T01:53:20.673-04:002011-08-22T01:53:20.673-04:00What's Portuguese for "Damon Runyan?"...What's Portuguese for "Damon Runyan?"Lenny Kleinfeldhttp://www.lennykleinfeld.comnoreply@blogger.com
