WTF Friday: Playing With Knives

We often complain that parents these days will let their kids do, say and wear just about anything. Where is the supervision, we ask. Who ever would let their tween dress up like a Victoria’s Secret model, we wonder. What the heck is the modern world coming to, we scream! But just when you thought yesteryear held the all the wholesomeness of an Ovaltine commercial, think again.

Domestic violence was not a problem, people. It was exploited as a fun, let’s-throw-knives-at-the-kids-for-fame activity! Seriously, take a look at this lady. Did you see how closely those knives are going to her daughter’s vital organs!? And wait, there’s a crowd gathered around ooh-ing and ahh-ing, not running to the nearest phone to dial 911.

Basically I’m left horrified, wondering if good parenting ever existed or if it was an illusion perpetuated by The Cosby Show.
