What are your examples of Baffling Entitled Parenting

What is the most out-there examples of terrible parenting you have seen.

I have just watched this video of a 19 year old in Florida who evaded police for 5 hours on a motorbike- taunting them, driving at over 130mph and running red lights. They catch him, arrest him, his mother turns up at the scene trying to re-posess the bike and then asks the police if he knew that he was being chased THEN says well you probably scared him and he was just trying to get home.

Its wild ride and a long video but he finally gets arrested at 30:30 and the conversation with the mother is first at 36:20 and then at 48:30.

I am baffled by the statements she is making.

Over 10 years ago now but STILL pisses me off regularly.

I was working as a manager in retail and had just finished putting together one of those huge Christmas displays of chocolate tubs - where they’re all stacked in this huge circular tower. A couple of local teens who’d caused trouble with us before came in and one filmed the other running and crashing into it, knocking the whole thing over, causing £100ish in stock damage where some of the tubs ricocheted off to a wine display and knocked some bottles, not to mention the tubs that burst when they landed. It was a proper mess. I asked them to leave and not come back unless they had an adult.

Next day, we get a fuming visit from one of their mums. I explain the boys aren’t allowed back in without someone supervising, and assume she doesn’t know what they’ve done so explain the stock damage and breakages. To which she LAUGHS and tells me she’s seen the video, it’s hilarious, boys will be boys and that’s not a reason to ban them 🫠 She got louder and louder and more and more aggressive til we called the police and she got herself told by them not to come back in either.

Jesus did you ban her as well?
