Fighting On The Playground
What is wrong with our kids today.kids use to go on the playground to play
with an occasional fight but none of this gang mentality where they are jumping on kids to put on Utube.
I was very upset when I read about two young girls accused of brutally attacking another girl on a playground. The girls, ages 10 and 11, face aggravated assault and other charges for the attack on another 10-year-old girl at an elementary school playground, the girls are accused of stomping on her head and legs and breaking her hip.
The girl said the other girls pulled her off the monkey bars and attacked her after she told the girls to stop splashing water on her 8-year-old sister in the school playground.
The child remains hospitalized and is expected to undergo at least one week of rehabilitation at a hospital. She has three pins in her hip to keep the bones in place and may eventually need a hip replacement, her mother said.
Now their attorney clasms that they are only 10 and 11 years old and are good students and shouldn't be tried as a deliquent, they didn't know the consquences of their actions. I don't agree, kids as well as adults need to know that when you do something so terrible that you will be held responsible for it.

How does this happen Lady? More and more you hear about this kind of thing and it is baffling to me. Those aren't little girls, they're animals. Political correctness and an overzealous and detrimental push for "self esteem" has removed all consequences. Remember the threat of going to the principal's office for a "whack"? This is where is has gotten us.

I saw this story and it made me sick.
Truly horrible kids. I have to blame the parents. I would have never thought about misbehaving because I knew the consequences.
I am just sick that kids have to grow up in this type of environment nowadays. It is truly, truly sad.

It's one of the many reasons my husband and I don't want to have kids.
