Gorilla killed

[Aroura]

I read a post that really sums it up for me.

Parents should be responsible for their kids actions! I’m not going not call these people bad parents because as a parent myself I know you can’t watch your kids 24/7 … BUT you do (or should) accept responsibility for their actions! If your child breaks a neighbor’s window, you’re responsible … if you’re kid’s action kill a gorilla, you’re responsible. Does made you a bad person – but being a parent comes with responsibility and consequences as the adult of a situation.

So there you go. I'm not saying she's a bad mom. I'm not saying parents can watch their kids every moment of every day. I am saying people need to take responsibility for their children, even if there was no lapse in parental judgement involved. This woman has expressed no regret for the dead gorilla, not one response she has made had one iota of that, and she has certainly said nothing that makes me want to defend her.

I'd be happy to defend her if she showed a mature emotion herself, but her reactionson are just completely off putting.
