Parenting 101

Now, I generally think that society's tolerance for anything fun, if mildly dangerous, is at an all-time low. I think the nanny-staters have managed to make illegal a lot of the things that I enjoyed as a kid.

Like lawn darts.

That said, even I know that this was a bad idea:

...12-year-old Frederick Duthoy, and his friend, James Patrick Wright, 11, had asked to ride in the trunk of the car after the parents and boys came out of a restaurant near Annapolis, Md., Chandlee said. It would be just for fun, the boys said. The Dulthoys, knowing the ride wasn't a long one, obliged.

Bad parents. Bad. Bad.

Read the story.
