Kids Acting Out on Train in Philly

1st why weren't the parents or an adult supervisor riding the train with the kids aren't the kids too young to ride by themselves? Look the parents know their kids are hood lol. I remember being a teacher and talking to parents about their kids bad behavior and they tried to act surprised when I told them about their kids. I had to tell one parent you know your child does this at home don't act surprised they just nodded their head lol. If they do this in the street full of strangers you know they will do it in the house in front of their parents. "Monkey" or not my mother would of beat my a*** just for embarrassing her on tv. I remember being late for the bus in grade school and a curse word slipped out my mouth; my mother slapped the pi** out of me. I dont curse in fornt of her still to this day. Im surprised the children were not arrested. I wonder how their school grades and school behavior are?

 

"I remember being late for the bus in grade school and a curse word slipped out my mouth; my mother slapped the pi** out of me. I dont curse in fornt of her still to this day."

When I was 11yo, apparently I slipped up and said ass in front of my mother. Quite frankly, I don't remember any details. I don't remember sayin' ass, I don't remember the subsequent repercussion, I don't even remember being a "curser" among my friends at the time. All I remember is being in the car, so that must have been a Slap Heard 'round the World that my mother gave me to wipe my memory totally clean of the incident. smh. LOL

 

I'm still trying to figure out how to get my students to go home from school instead of hanging out at the dang on corner stores so they don't get in trouble for stupidity.

 

I was finally able to view the video and I have to say unfortunately that this isn't that unusual to me.

As much of a grade A professional abusive a@@hole that my father was, I was disciplined and knew how to behave.
My Mother never once raised a hand to me, she only ever had to raise a displeased eyebrow and that was all the silent check I needed.
Outside of the home and not under their eyes, I was the same kid with the same self control and self discipline.

In another post I spoke about one time being in a mentorship program through my job that dealt with kids from overwhelmingly single parent, economically disadvantaged homes.
All the mentors and mentees, some who had never left their block or boro, went to an upstate retreat and it was 24 hours of sleep deprived heck trying to keep the destructive wildlings in line.
Being out of their comfort zone onto something new brought out the worst in the kids but with the exception of one irresponsible adult, we all were of of one mind and kept up and on them.

Parenting is a 24/7 day a week job that takes full time, effort and energy.
My Father used a lot of curse words in between every other word in the home but I knew not to and he wouldn't have made an excuse for it if someone came to him and I had.

On the other hand we don't know what was done or said to set the kids off. It still wouldn't make it right but further insight couldn't hurt.

There was an adult with them but based on what little you see of her, I can't tell if she wasn't trying hard enough or just wasn't successful at reigning them in.
