I think the offending kid will remember your admonishment a lot more than whatever his mom would say to him. Just be sure to look menacing when you say it. Make it stick. I am not kidding.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Welcome to being a teachers. Newsflash - many parents don’t know how to tell kids no any more.

I though about saying something but the moms looked so proud of their boys so it would have been a lost cause. Plus the moms all had matching yeti wine tumblers with vinyl monogram stickers, which I took as a warning to not engage.

People are animals. That’s all you need to know.

This was nasty and unnecessary. You just sunk yourself to the same level as the moms you're complaining about. And no, I don't have a Yeti with vinyl monogram stickers on it.

Those moms are the same which scream "SN-child" when their kid is terrorizing a whole class.
signed mother of a SN child which is terrorizied by such a brat every day

Those poor kids will be arrested someday for defacing public property.

This only happens in privileged areas, thank goodness.

Mr. Wilson?

You are all falling for an obvious troll. Ridiculous.

And why yell at other people's kids? Too coward to approach the moms - in a diplomatic manner if course - and get context (maybe it's permissible in their culture, maybe there's an SN issue) or let them know?

They need to adapt to the park culture.

SN Kids still need to be taught right from wrong. Blaming their disability for their bad behavior just equals bad parenting.

Jerks.

I mean, boys will be boys, right? #boymom #soblessed

The flowers in Public parks belong to the city and are not there for your brats to pull up. Someone should have called the police. They should have to pay for the plants and be barred from the park. Whose culture condones destruction of public property. If your SN children are feral then keep them at home. Before you say the police would do nothing, I remember a woman digging up plants in a park and she was arrested. Lazy and incompetent mothers.

Look OP! Here’s one of the moms.

Ugh. I loathe lazy mothers like that. Glad you told the boys to stop, OP. At least someone is teaching them how to behave in public places.

My DH scared the crap out of two boys who were throwing rocks at squirrels while the parents just watched them. He’s a huge guy with a booming voice and yelled at them to stop.

Stop trolling. You’re just embarrassing yourself.

It wasnt literal silly. I am the parent who lets her kids play snd be a kid. Im not telling you how to parent your kid. More parents should mind their business unless it is directly harming you and yours. What was your kid doing during while tending to others kids?

My kids were glad they weren’t your kid.

Then your poor kid is going to get yelled at by strangers. Try being a better mother.
