Parents Behaving Badly

St. Petersburg Schools Taking Care Of Abandoned Kids

by joelnet on October 3rd, 2005

Bus.jpgProving once again that intelligence is not a prerequisite for parenthood, some Florida parents are shocked! and angered! that local school bus drivers are refusing to abandon their kids at bus stops. Apparently, an outbreak of common sense has struck St. Petersburg school officials, who are taking in kids whose parents don’t show up to pick them up from bus stops after school.

Insert your own “No Child Left Behind” joke here. Bravo to those school employees who’ve taken the time and initiative to do the right thing. There’s probably not a simple answer to this, although…what the hell? St. Petersburg parents - PICK UP YOUR KIDS, PEOPLE. And if for some reason you can’t (you’re homeless, incarcerated, or in the case of one Angela Young, a complete fuckwit), how about a simple “thank you for not allowing my child to be abducted or run over”?
