The comments you quoted previously were referring to boy in the forest.
You do realise this thread has 2 cases.

But don't feel too bad Greta. I am sure that something will pop up tomorrow that will put a smile on your face and a spring into your step. After all, tomorrow is another day.

I don't feel anything for the boy at all. Neither relief nor worried. But I think the parents got too lucky.

We don't know how the kid got loose. Do we even know how many kids she was trying to watch. I was once one off the parents on a field trip to the Zoo.
I was watching 6 3rs grade boys (they always gave me my son and the troublemakers) I looked towards one and the worst of the bunch was sticking his fingers through the mesh trying to touch the tiger. He looked at me like I was some kind of monster as he took a (controled) flight back to where he belonged.

Okay, we were referring to Japanese boy intentionally abandoned in a forest filled with wild bears by his parents, with the intention to scare him and punish him. And now he is found to be safe and fine despite being alone for 7 days in the forest. That's why I say the parents got way too lucky!

No you were also talking about the kid that got into the gorrilla enclosure, saying the mother was to busy getting a picture on her phone to watch her kid.

No try to follow properly. Wayward was sarcastically comforting me that unfortunately the boy in the forest did not get eaten by wild animals.

There is no excuse for not understanding that I was blasting your assesment about the zoo incident.
In the US the family forest family would never see thier kid again and almost cirtainly do hard time.

Except the quote that you quoted me saying was in response to Wayward to talking about the forest boy and me and Wayward were discussing forest boy.

So if you quote me talking about forest boy, you can't expect me to understand that you want to talk about gorilla boy.I would automatically assume that you mistakenly quote a quote that was meant for forest boy.

All I can say is; glad you are not a mom, and, even though you are the quintessential poster child for compulsory sterilization, I wouldn't vote for that here in the states, but only because you are safely half a world away from us.

How's that for an "even if"?

I totally disagree, I'd be a great mom! And if I fuck up on my kid, I will take responsibility for my actions and not blame it on them, claiming it's impossible to manage and watch over them and be like you who is sooo uncreative that apparently keeping them safe involves putting them in a cage or prison.

I have never birth my own child yet, but there is a significant age difference between my baby brother and me. And I have taken care of him since a baby, doing everything a mother does, fed him milk, burp him, change his diapers. I took him everywhere with me where-ever I went. Even when I am out with boyfriends or girlfriends, I take him along. He was more of my baby than my mom's baby. My mom never never fed him milk or even changed his diaper before in her life. Needless to say there was never any breast feeding. Within 48 hours, she was discharged from the hospital, and never bother with him again.

So he was my baby. When I moved out of my parents home, he moved in with me, I basically took him along, when I got married, he carried on living with my x-husband and I. His basically my child.

And yes he has lived a great and fun life! When he was 8, I took him to concerts I usually attend, and he got carried and crowd surf. I taught him how to swim, how to ride his first bike, took him fishing which became his first love for his hobby, I taught him inline skating and got him interested in aggressive skating, took him for that too when he was as young as 8, as young kids pick up these things like magic, and with full protective gears, they are fine. I watched over him, I took him everywhere with me and included him in my life for everything.

I believe you can have fun in controlled environment. As long as I am watching over him, everything will be okay. And now his going to be married soon and will have his own family. I am very proud of him. And I know I am more like his mom than his own mom was to him. He will always come to me first.

So no, while I have not birth my own kid yet, but I did have a baby to raise from birth. The only thing I wasn't responsible for was bringing home dough to take care of his financials. My parents of course took care of that. But I think everything a house wife does with a baby, and raising a baby, I did it.

You assume that I was talking about the forest when I recount a zoo related incident.

You then tell me we aren't talking about the zoo incident?

quote:

You should be angry about what happened to the forest boy and be hoping for him to get to a good help that can help him heal.

And you should never condemn a woman because one of her kids took off while she was dealing with another one. How can any human being not feel for the forest boy or jump to conclusions about the mother in the zoo case? That is terrible.

Any and all of which could have gotten the brat killed at any time, especially as how you've related how eager Singaporean drivers are so eager to run down kids and cats.

But now you're telling is that it is the responsible thing to take a toddler in the car with teenage boyfriend, ...

I took my brats (whichever ones in my charge at the moment) out on the streets, to the park, to the bike or hiking path, swimming pool, whatever,

But never, never with a teenage driver. Much less in any (teenage) bf/gf situation. (Well, maybe once or twice there, but was hyper-alert all the time)

Walking a lot with teenage gf with younger brat (or her with mine) or niece or nephew was a part of the process. But not driving.

A brat then, a brat for life. That's you. Congrats on the faux child raising when all the heavy lifting was done in advance.

I involved you that the quote that you quoted was not referring to the zoo incident.

quote:

Forest boy incident, getting him good help to heal WILL NOT help the gazillion Japanese parents to get a wake up call to not do the same things. It's not uncommon for Asian parents to do these things in many different variations as punishments. You see it as just saving one boy. This boy demise could save many more kids. I am against child abuse, but there isn't enough consequences to parents, and that's why it will perpetually keep happening.

From the internet, there are plenty of mothers with multiple children that are condemning the zoo mom as well. So clearly there is some validity to thinking that the mom was not being responsible.

If you are correct then Japanese society is sick and needs to be changed.
In the U S these parents would be in jail even though the kid was found.

Would US parents really be jailed for this, abandoning the child in the forest as punishment? That I totally approve of! This will never happen in Asia. Those Japanese parents certainly will not even get into any trouble.

Even where I stay, I often see screaming toddler thrown out of the house, left outside alone, kicking and screaming outside begging to come back inside the house.

Fucking annoys, and then when I see it, I wish the kid got into harm or something, because I am sooo frustrated at stupid Asian parents doing shit like that with NO consequences.

For change to happen, something bad has to happen to rock the nation, then the government will start taking action or making laws to make shit like this illegal.

Maybe not jailed, but at least fined, and likely the child would be removed and placed into foster care, which may be better, or all too often it could be worse.

Dude, we take taxis everywhere we go in Singapore. You know, cabs are everywhere. I don't live in the US where cars are necessity ya know.

You think my teenage boyfriend can afford a car when the license alone to own a car for 10 years cost 60k to 80k.

You claim that Singapore is so low in income taxes. How do you think they make up for it?
