[quote]I don't think it's the end of the world (or even necesssarily shocking) that these kids emptied the bowl. 
 What's terrible is for parents to be defending it as no big deal. It is not okay to do this. It is entitled behavior. 
 If I found out this was my kid, I would make him write an apology letter to the home owner on principle. 
 I'm just surprised (or maybe I shouldn't be) that so many parents think this is no big deal.

I don't think that anybody here has said that it was OK ... unclear why you are so worked up about it.

The article quoted numerous adults excusing the kids behavior. THAT is the story, not the fact that idiot kids took at the candy. It's one thing to say "kids are going to do stupid stuff, that's why happens when you leave out candy." It's quite another to suggest that maybe the kids don't have involved parents and their behavior should therefore be excused. Or that the homeowners are at fault for not leaving a note telling kids to only take one piece. [/quote]
Yes indeed - bad parenting.

The typical DCUM response is "myob!"

That is, unless someone believes in "free range" parenting - then the pitchforks and mobs come out demanding arrest of the parents).[/quote]
