Parents teaching toddler to swear is awful, sickening but not a crime

Jan 9, 2014, 4:46 PM | Updated: 4:46 pm

This is a slippery slope. I get the shock value of a toddler swearing and gesturing lewdly, but removing a child from a home for it sets a dangerous precedent.

No doubt a segment of the population will see this as evidence and proof of a complete breakdown in the black community, but the same could be said for a lot of other communities and races. Dare we see how Honey Boo Boo acts when the cameras are off (on top of what she says and does when they are on!) and don’t get me started on the Kardashians.

There are bad parents and guardians everywhere and I wish for a world in which they realize the negative impact on the children under their care. But until we start licensing parents, videos (and children) like this are the price we pay for a free society.
