[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the mother had left the phone some distance from the edge of the pool and the kid had dug it out of her bag, walked over to the pool, and dropped it in, that would have been the fault of the boy's parent, because they should have been watching him better.

[b]But if you leave your phone in a perilous place and it comes to harm, that's your fault. [/b]

Good answer[/quote]

So if you walk down a dark alley, you deserve what you get, right?[/quote]

The victim blaming here is gross.[/quote]

It's not like something happened to her body.
If you leave your car unlocked and someone steals from it, the cops lecture you on locking your doors.

If you leave your wallet somewhere and it gets stolen, you shouldn't have left it.

If you drop $100 and someone else picks it up before you realize, that's your fault for dropping it.

If you leave your phone in the puddle next to the pool and a kid picks it up, it's YOUR FAULT[/quote]

Agree with this. This thread is interesting and I used it as a starting point for a conversation with my kids to see what they thought.  Parental responsibility vs personal responsibility.  [/quote]
