[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think parents are encouraging DDD, I think many of us remember playing it as kids. Yes, the neighbor might rat us out and our parents would lecture us but it wasn't that big a deal. We also were not likely doing this late at night and we were not banging on doors like we are trying to bang them down. We rang a doorbell and ran away. We were not kicking the doors and slamming the doors.

The biggest difference is that more people are willing to shot someone and when your kid is pounding on someones door at midnight, they are at risk of getting hurt or killed because someone might take that as a serious threat to their home.

Are the people who are shooting the people running away in the right? No. Best way to avoid that? Tell your kid not to play DDD late at night and not to be pounding on the door like you are trying to break in. And yes, the idiots shooting people for this should not be shooting people but, again, the best way to prevent yourself from getting shot playing DDD is to not do it. Or not do it in such a way that you sound threatening and not just annoying.[/quote]

You are justifying your and your kids poor behavior.  Its not funny, its not fun, its inappropiate and could be harmful to someone else.  Don't blame someone feeling threatened and shooting another person when that person should not have been on private property doing something highly wrong.[/quote]

My kid is not out playing DDD. That is not his thing. I don't see DDD as being harmful, at least not the way we played it when I was a kid. You rang a door bell and ran away giggling. You thought you had pulled off some amazing prank. It was stupid and we all ended up getting in trouble because someone saw us and called our parents. Mom and Dad told us to stop it and we moved on to kick the can or some other ridiculous game.

What some teens are doing today is totally different. It is late at night, disruptive, scary, and over the top. I have no problem with people sending ring footage to the police and kids getting in trouble over their behavior. I did not have a problem with the tweens who played DDD in my neighborhood at 4 PM, it was the same stupid thing I did. If you can't tell the difference between the two then I don't know what to tell you.

I get why some people are showing up at the door with a gun in hand. Kids pounding and kicking on my door late at night is scary, it is not a prank. I also know that I would call 911 before a used a gun. I sure as heck wouldn't shot someone running away. I have showed those reports to my kid as a reminder that you have to be careful with what you do and told him that DDD is not a good idea. But this type of crap, the escalation from a stupid but harmless game to something deadly because it is "fun" to post out of control behavior on tic tok is one good reason my kid doesn't have a phone yet.
