[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if this same toddler is in a store and pulls down a display shelf of expensive items.... oopsie?

We are raising a generation of dipshits because we've abandoned all sense of accountability.  And I'm not talking about the children... it's the parents more interested in their selfie with their pinot gris and the ahi tuna than the child across the table with a tablet pressed to their nose.[/quote]

This is a good point, without the name calling and over dramatic scenario. If a 2 year old pushes a lamp or  vase down in Target or tosses a ball in a store and breaks something, parent should be responsible.

Something being out and accessible doesn't give a child the right to touch it. The child may not know better, but that's how it goes. Parent has to take the heat. [/quote]

But a vase in a store is supposed to not be touched.  The child is in the wrong there. 
A BABY pool is surrounded by water splashes, puddles, and toys everywhere.  A child is conditioned and taught that items around the pool are waterproof, before they even know what that means or is.  The mom who put her phone in this wet area full of toys and expected it to not get wet is in the wrong here, not the child doing as he has been conditioned to do. [/quote]
