Parenting

In the various papers today I see the parents of the child rapist are sort of blaming themselves.

The “mother” was a Black Power moll and the “father” a Mongrel Mob member…life’s winners they are not.

When you go through the Facebook page of his “mother”, some especially great parenting photos are revealed when she was tagged in on 4 December (most of the children holding booze appear to be her kids).  It is quite painful to read the way she types. That is Lavinia Wall in the brown leather jacket.

 There are also links to her other children, most of which appear either drunk, stoned or in wanna-be gangster style poses.  Charming.  I wonder what the total cost to the state for funding this family will end up being.

Do-gooder crim hugging lawyers who suggest this kid can be redeem are deluded and dangerous.

The other day I posted a video of a father shooting up his daughters laptop. Now the wowsers are all up in arms accusing the father of child abuse:

The above video of Tommy Jordan shooting his daughter’s laptop in retaliation for a nasty Facebook post about her parents has gone viral, with over 22 million views in five days. Mary Champagne excoriates the dad:

One does not have to demand respect through fear, maintain leadership by crushing opposition, or convince oneself that iron fisted authority is an expression of love. There are many examples of fathers who garner respect and obedience from their children through authoritative rather than coercive parenting. These are not laissez faire, “hippy”, disengaged parents who abdicate responsibility for limit setting and leadership. But they achieve the balance of raising healthy and capable children while still having their love and respect as they reach adulthood.

Elizabeth Wilson goes further:

If a husband shot a .45 into a wife’s computer, I have no doubt it would be considered an act of domestic violence.  But there seems to be a lot of support for the father out there.
