How NOT to Raise a Looter

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve more than likely caught a glimpse of this “Mom” taking care of business.

She is his mom, right? Who really knows the truth? The media does such a great job of misleading, bating hate and twisting stories to fit their SELL SELL SELL agenda. For me, I’m going to hold back on claiming this lady as his mother. For all we REALLY know, she could just be some ticked off lady whose had enough and this kid was in her line of fire.

You have noticed there are quite a few folks down there in Baltimore making their voices known. How does a mom happen upon her own kid in that chaos? Possible? Yes, but still…. Should we jump to conclusions? I don’t know. I can’t, just not sure.

However, I can tell you our society needs parents who give a rip about what their kids are doing in the real world. Besides it being a reflection on them (don’t give me that garbage that your kids are not a peek at who you are) WRONGO BONGO! We are all an extension of the ones who did or didn’t invest in us! More reason to be the best danged parent you can be, huh?

I don’t believe anyone who brings a child into the world starts out with the intentions of raising up a crazy, out-of-control, rioting looter. I mean, really? Who does that? Barbarians? Perhaps.

But what happens? Where do these destructive, hate-filled, outrageous people come from? Where are their mothers? Their fathers? Who taught them to do such a thing? What in the world ever convinced them that behaving like criminals was a way of seeking true justice?

It’s not civilized behavior.

I’ve been really mad before and I know how anger can escalate to something not pretty. I’ve never crossed the line into criminal behavior. Why? Because, I knew better. So, why is it that our society is so rampant with this crazy reaction whenever something goes wrong or a mistake is made?

I’m convinced that it’s a direct reflection of the lifestyles of the family.

Live like hell. Live. Like. Hell.

The old cliche, treat others like you would have them treat you…seems to be a thing of the past. Almost. We now live in a world that finds abuse, unkindness and illegal criminality normal. It feels like the thinking is do it to them before they do it to you. Only, not all of us want to smash your car windows to steal your ipad out of your car. Or rob someone’s grandma as she leaves the Piggly Wiggly with her oatmeal and buttermilk.

It’s a sad world. But this is the world we live in, a violent and hateful world.

So, how do you keep your kids from running wild and turning into a news fodder picture?

YOU LOVE THEM.

You love them enough to do the hard stuff like; DISCIPLINE THEM, HUG THEM, SPEND TIME WITH THEM, TEACH THEM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG, HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, GIVE THEM CHORES, SPEAK KINDNESS TO THEM, COVER THEM WITH PRAYER, EXPECT HONESTY FROM THEM, BE HONEST WITH THEM YOURSELF, LIVE A LIFE OF INTEGRITY IN FRONT OF THEM, REFUSE TO LET THEM RUN WILD, ENFORCE FAMILY AND SOCIETY RULES, TEACH THEM RESPONSIBILITIES, SHOW THEM MERCY, COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, PLACE BOUNDARIES ON THEIR FREEDOMS, MAKE THEM A PRIORITY….EVERY SINGLE DAY! AND, BE A REAL FREAKIN’ PARENT TO THEM!

The world has enough of pathetic human-ing.

I don’t even know where to go with what is now becoming popular among the American society. Riots, looting, fighting, stealing from innocent businesses, assaulting others, destroying property/police vehicles. I can’t wrap my brain around any of it. This is NOT sticking up for what is right, on any level. Ever. It’s criminal, it’s evil and it’s coming to your town soon. Why?

Don’t let the media tell you injustice needs a screaming violent voice. That’s not the way to handle anything. The picture, up top….that could be his mom. But, why would a mom need to beat up her kid? If she was doing her part in his life to begin with? Maybe that answers why he’s down there doing what he’s doing.

Love your kids. Our world needs it.
