Irresponsible

Introduction

Should parents be blame for their children’s action? My answer is YES. I believe that if a child is not taught up right, then the parents might face a few issues in the future which are disciplinary issue, bad attitude etc. So by paying attention to your child when young is a very critical issue. Parents have to lead their children to the correct path and correct their mistakes. Fail to do these few basic steps? There will be consequences. These are the 3 examples of irresponsible parenting consequences that occurred in the real world.


Cyber Cafe

An 18 years old boy collapsed and dead at an internet café after playing an online computer game for 40 hours straight. The teenager from Taiwan, Identified only by his surname Chang, had reportedly gone without food for almost 2 days. He booked a private room at that cyber café and began playing a popular game, Diablo 3. This incident happened because their parents totally did not care whether if their child came home or not. Maybe their parents were too busy earning money and have forgotten that they have a son. He could even pay for a private room which logically is quite pricy so this proves that his parents just gave him money to entertain himself without disturbing them.


Gorilla Incident (Harambe)

I’m going to talk about an incident that occur last year that cause people won’t forget about it and still talking about it. A boy that visits the Cincinnati zoo in Ohio, United States of America fall down into a gorilla enclosure. The boy survived with serious but not life threatening injuries but in return of it, the gorilla was shot dead. What I want to say is, this is parents fault or also known as parent’s negligence because the parents of this boy did not raise him properly which make him doesn’t realise how dangerous an animal can be. The reason that this incident occurred is because the parents was also watching over several other children and do not have enough hands to watch this boy closely which leads to the boy falling down to the enclosure. After this incident, the lesson that taught us is, if you are unable to take care of so many children then stop giving birth to so many because it would just further burden ourselves.


Drowned

Their mother was in the shallow end of the pool with a 3-year-old child and didn’t notice the older children go underwater, police said. Unable to swim, she began screaming for help. The 10-year-old girl drowned and her 9- and 11-year-old brothers were in intensive care after they were pulled from a murky swimming pool at an Irving apartment complex Wednesday, police said. The mother is to blame for this incident because she should not have let her children swim in a deep pools when there is no lifeguard or guardian that can swim and watch over them. Even if her children were able to swim on their own, there is still a possibility that an accident may occur. So it is always safer to swim in swallow water which your feet could reach the floor and your head is above the water.


Conclusion

If a couple chooses to expand their family then they have to commit and be responsible. Having a child is not a toy that you can throw a side when you get bored of it. It is the responsibility of a parent to ensure their child does the right thing and makes the correct decisions. So it is no use to cry or regret when your child is already injured or dead because what’s done is already done.
