[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wow you people are nasty and your kids are no different. so glad we moved abroad. what a hell hole the US has become.[/quote]

Seriously. This thread is appalling. Op, I hope you’re able to take advice from the handful of people who offered it.  The rest of the posters should be ashamed of themselves. [/quote]

Agreed. I don't know what OP's kid has allegedly done and I don't really care. The piling on, rumor mongering, nastiness I see around kids -and their parents- is truly appalling. There is no need for any of it. If you want to "cancel" (warranted or not) do it. But the piling on and public shaming is in the VAST majority of situations, just as bad as the offense.

The schools, parents, . . . .[b] we teach all this touchy feely, mental health protective, stuff and this is the country and community we get despite that?[/b] This country is absolutely becoming a 3d rate, sh-- hole version of its former self. We treat each other appallingly. There is no forgiveness. No grace. No kindness. And save for a few posters on here giving helpful advice, OP should ignore everyone else. And you folks should be ashamed of yourselves. If this is what you're passing on to your little darlings, then god help us all. [/quote]

it's not despite it but because of it. instead of doing the hard work of being kind and tolerant people are embracing platitudes about kindness while indulging their worst instincts. it's precisely those cheap words that give them the license to be cruel.[/quote]

That's just a lame excuse. Have we come to the point in society that this is how people feel? Real parents use those "platitudes" and teach their children how to be decent human beings. Others, apparently, do as you suggest. [/quote]

[b]we have evidently come to the point where, when adults hear that a mob is harassing a child, they automatically side with the mob. i teach my children to actually be kind and tolerant, not to cover their cruelty in righteousness. but for this reason, we moved away from the US. where we are now, children speak there minds freely, and while ugly words can often be heard, this is the only way to actually practice tolerance.

[u]but don't worry about your precious platitudes. you can bathe yourself in your them and not worry about the faintest note of dissent, which is clearly so traumatizing[/u].[/b][/quote]

This has to be THE most dramatic post ever to be written on DCUM.

PP, you've stated multiple times in this thread alone how thrilled you are to have moved away from the US and how thankful you are to be away from here.
So I'll ask you again... WHY do you still post here?

It seems you're incapable of writing a post without denigrating & disparaging the US in it... so why not move on to a message board where you live?
Why stay at a board from a country you're so critical of??
I imagine there are thousands of other message boards just like this one outside of the US - why not post there?

Are you gonna run to Jeff again to have my post removed, or are you actually going to answer the question this time like an adult?
