Don't you know that kids are naturally evil?

Maybe I'm crazy, but immediately going, "Hey Parent, you fucked up here and it's the fault of your long term parenting." Seems to me like the person saying it has never interacted with children before.

I can easily see the parent just looking away for a moment, and the child just going for it BECAUSE IT'S A CHILD. A friend of my father's had a kid who threw a puppy off the balcony. (Puppy lived.) Why? Not cause the 5 year old was raised wrong, but because he's A FUCKING CHILD AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND LIFE YET.

The fact that the parent is out, taking the kid to fun shows like this makes me think they are good parents, but the kid just got away from them in the moment.

My sympathy comes from a weird place, but I have an autistic brother, and he basically acts like a 26 year old child at times. There are times, all the time, where we just miss a moment where he'll go up to someone and do something mortifying, and we'd have to apologize and do damage control. I imagine that's what raising a child would be like. Too many people are so quick to jump on their high horse and go, "Ugh, that's not how you should raise a child."

Fuck off.
