Mom drives son to rob jewelry store
BERLIN (Reuters) - A 36-year-old German mother-of-five drove her son to a jewelry store he wanted to rob because she was afraid he may come to some harm, Bild newspaper reported Wednesday.
While her 17-year-old son and his two accomplices stabbed and robbed a jeweler in the eastern city of Dresden, the mother waited outside in the car.
"I knew he wanted to rob the shop and I was very worried about him," top-selling Bild quoted the mother as saying.
A court sentenced the woman to three years and ten months in prison, a spokeswoman for the court said.

I wonder if she also testified in her son's defense?
The scary thing is that she would think this is normal behaviour.
The scarier thing is I’m wondering what else she’s taught this kid.
The scariest thing is that she has made five – count’ em – five babies! :eek:

I know a woman who once ratted out her son for possession of marijuana. He was arrested, but luckily was able to get out of it. He lives in India now and seldom speaks to his mom.
A case with a happier ending, but a mom -- in my book -- just as crazy, only in the opposite way.
Man bites 3-year-old nephew all over his body to warn against biting, police say (http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/070518/K051817AU.html)
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A man was charged with assault for allegedly biting his 3-year-old nephew all over his body to teach the toddler that biting people is wrong, police said.
Hector Pulido, 40, was arrested Tuesday after day care workers discovered adult-size bite marks on the boy's chest, stomach, shoulder, back, thigh, leg and buttocks, police said.
The boy told officers his uncle had bitten him. When questioned, Pulido allegedly admitted that he did it "to teach him not to bite anyone," said Lt. James Viadero, a police spokesman.
Pulido was charged with assault and risk of injury to a minor. He was being held on $100,000 bond after a court appearance Wednesday. A message seeking comment was left with the public defender representing Pulido.
The toddler was evaluated at a hospital, and the state Department of Children and Families was notified

Daughter #1 once bit me when we were in church. I bit her back, and she never did it again. :rolleyes: Let me stress that that was the only time I EVER had to do anything like that.
I find your confession both unnerving and unsettling :eek: but at least we now have a clue why you hate eating meat so much.

Calif. toddler OK after accidentally drinking margarita out of plastic sippy cup at restaurant (http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/070615/K061525AU.html)
ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP) - Kim Mayorga was confused when her 2-year-old started making funny faces and pushing away the apple juice he had ordered at Applebee's. The explanation came when she opened the lid of the sippy cup and was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec.
The restaurant staff accidentally gave Julian Mayorga a margarita Monday. He grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital.
"I wasn't going to make a big deal about it," the mother told the Contra Costa Times on Thursday, "but then he got sick."
The apple juice and margarita mix were stored in identical plastic bottles, and the manager mistakenly grabbed the margarita container to pour the boy's drink, said Randy Tei, vice president for Apple Bay East Inc., which owns the franchise restaurant and nine other Applebee's in the San Francisco Bay area.
The Mayorgas will be reimbursed for their medical bills, and Tei said the franchise group's restaurants will no longer serve apple juice and margaritas in similar containers.
"We absolutely believe it was an honest mistake," Tei said.
The serving appeared to have been accidental, Antioch police Lt. Pat Welch said. Mayorga said her son is now doing fine.
She said the company has been very apologetic and offered free meals, but she added, "If they think I'm going back there, they're ridiculous."
There has to be a better way to teach a 3 year old not to bite!! Like what about teaching him how to handle his anger and control himself, or help him learn to express it with words.
I don't think that it is that unusuall for really small kids to bite a couple of times before they get that it hurts other people. I have 4 kids and most of them bit me when they were babies around 9-20 months old. Old enough to have a few teeth. It sounds strange but it is true. It usually would happen when I was just be holding one of them up against me close over my shoulder (like when burping them-or just snuggling peacefully) and they would just happen to get a little bit of my skin on my neck and bite it. Ouch!! man would I jump.

I may have mentioned this before, but a few years ago we had a judge who was presiding over a hearing involving a juvenile who had kicked her probation officer. The judge ordered the probation officer to kick the girl, and when he refused, the judge came down off the bench and delivered the kick himself.
Judge wound up being censured by the Bar Association and a huge civil suit was pending, while headlines rolled everywhere. Strangely, the whole thing suddenly dropped from view and the suit was dropped without explanation. Would love to know the "whole story".

Yes of course there is Sky, but as the examples above illustrate, some people don’t think about how their actions will affect a child, or don’t seem to care. Worst of all, there is seldom anything anyone can do to intervene without being seen as interfering.
Reasonable, thinking adults know implicitly that hurting children is never okay.

Now I feel guilty about tossing my son. It was a reflex he didn't bite so I really wasnt expecting it. But his twin sister bit me all the time, but never did I bite or toss her. She after many times telling her that you don't bite and touch her teeth. She eventually quit all on her own with a little help from Mom.
Peace, Darlene

The mental vison of an adult biting a child makes me giggle...was there a quarantine period after and a rabies vaccination check?
I guess I can understand the reflex of tossing or pushing away someone that is biting you...but biting them back?!?!
I'm gonna try that on my cat!
:p

Will there be video of that? :p
