@@Majestic469 What the mom SHOULD be teaching her child: -Honor/obey/respect your parents -Be responsible for your own safety What she instead taught her child: -Mom needs the police to do her job -The government actually cares about your safety (they don't)
This is a good idea. Its scary, my mom did it for me. She found out i was bullying someone in middle school and called the school cop and asked him to scare me good to get me to stop. It worked, i never bullied anyone again.
When police get involved in the community it fosters respect and people trust them more. If your kids only interact with the police when there is a crisis they are always going to be wary of them.
She made an appointment to teach her child the safety of wearing a seat belt, 1. million people die in car-related incidents a year.. tbh she wasn't being a bad mum at all.
Whitney Pyant you don't call cops on a little kid ...Cops don't need to explain the parent should ! If you can't control your 3 yr old shouldn't be a mother ...Mother is stupid as hell ...When that child gets older she have to call cops again ..Parents need to be parents no expect someone else raise their kids ..Mom needs to get to teaching !
Penny Burris What? With that logic then we should not allow our children to learn anything from anyone other than there parents. What about teacher or doctors should we not let them teach our children either. She didn't called the cops on her kid, she made an appointment and ask if they could explain to her 3 year old why it is important to wear your seatbelt. Police, Firemen etc. come into the schools regularly to teach kid about dangers of drugs, stranger danger, bike safety, how is what this Mother do any different. Sometimes being a good Mom is admitting when you need help with a situation, we have to stop trying to be Know it all Super Moms.
Really????? A mother can't get a bleeping three year and calls the police? AND gets Screen time for this?? Are you kidding me? Talk about helpless parents.
When I was little, the officers on our beat knew all of us, always brought baseball cards, stickers, or just a hi and wave. EDIT: that was back when community meant more of a I watch yours, you watch mine thing. Now we don't even know who the heck lives on our street
Why don't she parent her own kids instead of the cop doing it? The cops are supposed to catch bad guys not help you parent your child lady. This was not cool in my opinion.
Sometimes the kid doesn't listen to the parent or the one they are riding with. One time I was asked to drop my little brother off at the soccer field when I was about to go home and My little brother unbuckled his seat belt on the highway ( I was driving my 92 ford truck) and so I pulled over and tried to explain to him about why he needs to wear his seatbelt, I told him if he doesn't there is no airbag to save him and he will go flying through the windshield if someone was going to rear ended us. Since my Truck wasn't manufactured with airbags because back then it wasn't required when it was made. And it took a lot of struggle to get it on him. So after I dropped him off I called my dad and he wasn't pleased because of how my little brother acted.
If mother doesn't have enough authority with the three years old to buckle up, then she has failed as parent. Imagine if you have to call police to teach the child simple thing?! I think this is very stupid idea
I agree cause that’s just wasting a cop time cause they have other important things to do instead of telling a 3year old to buckle the seat belt even tho that’s a mother’s job
Keeping children off drugs is a little more pressing than helping a mom win an argument with a toddler. It's not a police matter. The real problem is that this mother doesn't know how to get basic control over her little girl. A cop scaring her into wearing seatbelt won't fix that. She needs to spend her own money on books or parenting classes, rather than directing tax payer resources towards winning am arguement.
Young Professional I completely agree with you. It is better that she learns when she's young and if she's not willing to listen to mom... Plus, the mother made an appointment with them so it wasn't costing anyone any money.
This is not a good safe, at least in the psychological sense, a good disciplinary method for a kid that young. You have no idea what you're talking about shut the f****** up.
Don't have the police parent for you lady!!!!!!! There are other non scarring ways that you can teach your kid a lesson!!!!!!!!!! Especially a toddler!!!!!!!!!! A toddler!!!!! get that?????!!!!!!!!! A toddler!!!!!! Try looking at it from a toddler's point of view, instead of the point of you you're looking at it through, which is that of a fully grown fully mature adults point of view, although with this lady her maturity and adulthood certainly comes into question. Not a suitable non-scarring way to discipline a kid this young. This is a toddler, a three-year-old not a 12 to 17 year old. I remember how frightening it was a couple of times when my mom called the police on me to quote unquote, and that is a huge quote-unquote, called the police on me when I was young. People, please don't tell me that this is non-scarring because I lived through it. Keep being ruled over your emotions you quote unquote parents. Because it's worth so well in the past before.
There's nothing wrong with what she did.. She called non emergency, and they did this after setting an appointment.. I think that was cute.. Now granted, all my mom had to do was give..... The look!! That look was of death! 🤣 I would have felt safer with the officer..
thank you for clearing that up I was going into a rant thinking she called the police after the child only did it once and I wasn't even thinking about the officer coming in on taxpayer dollars but that she needs the police to parent her children because she's not an authority figure and is probably embarrassing the s*** out of her too which I'm okay with because psychological torment over spanking is so much more effective it gets to the brain and stays there for a long time but I still think this is a little excessive and even if you did call for a non-emergency appointment for a one-on-one with the police officer for him to explain the situation to her child I think it's silly on her part
Swnsasy _ So true, that mum _Look_ was like a thousand threats delivered in an instant. Dad's was worse, that was the _look_ backed up with the ''pointing finger'', that would send shivers and also stop any carry on instantly. The only words spoken from either of these were usually my apologies!
Anthony Butler Omgosh give me a break.. Stop over thinking something so small. The officers made the appt and felt it was something to do because it is apart of their job description. Protect & Serve, did you forget that? You've never seen a video where a cop is on duty and pulls over a little kid on his/her bike and writes them a ticket? Jesus you guys act like a cop is only good for shoot em up and writing tickets. I work with great officers that take time out of their day to help at risk teens and there is nothing wrong with that. Thank goodness you aren't a cop! You would be horrible at it...
So, mom was unable to exert authority over her 3- year old daughter??? I hope mom will consider counseling for parenting skills, with emphasis on how to establish consistent boundaries. Otherwise, cute little daughter will be a cute little monster at age 6, a not-so-cute little nightmare for any teacher at age 7 and unmanageable during middle school.
Mom: She promised to not ever unbuckle her seatbelt again.... Kid: Damn right I won't. So I don't have to talk to you stupid people. Also, shouldn't she be in a carseat anyways?? Is that what she unbuckled?
To those criticizing the mom for what she did..... First, she did not call the emergency #. She called the non-emergency #. Second, the officer who went was most likely one who was not in the middle of anything except maybe driving up and down streets. Third, the mom most likely stopped the car and told the child to buckle up with no action from the child. Finally, this is about the safety of the child. THAT is why the mom called the police.
I do not believe that. The reason why is because I had the same conflict with my strong-willed child when they were younger. I had done everything I could think of to do but that child outright defied me no matter what about the issue. So, I had called the police. The only reason was because it was a safety issue. That was the one and only time it was necessary too. After that no more seatbelt defiance.
If you can't gain basic control over your kid's behavior in unsafe situations, the problem is way bigger than seatbelt safety. And winning a seatbelt argument with the help of police, won't fix it. Kids like to cross streets, run around in parking lots, climb things, taste things, and that's just the early years. What about when they're teenagers? Can a parent call the cops every single day to make sure their kids stay away from sex, drugs, and criminal behavior? Perhaps it'd be more realistic for parents to educate themselves on how to get their children to listen in important situations. I respect the mom for not being on a tyrannical power trip (which seems to be a tempting option for many parents), but she needs to read some books, or pay for a parenting class.
I think EVERY parent can learn from reading and/or participating in a class or two or three. Some parents think they know it all and are quick to judge other parents.
I did that. My son kept unbuckling his seat belt. There were some police parked a few cars away and I asked one of them to please come and talk to my 3 year old. They were very good and he never did it again.
@bugger imposing your will on another human being is an act of violence. Seatbelt laws should not be mandatory and if your kids don’t want to wear them then just don’t drive. If they take their belt off after your driving then just find a way to keep the buckled in until you get back home safe and later make it to wear the seatbelt cannot be detached after driving. No need for the cops.
Or maybe have a positive influence on the kid today so that 13 years from now you don't have problems with that same kid in the future. This cop knows that getting involved in a positive way with the community will make his job easier.
Lol learn math first hahah, if cops get 22.50 for hour then for 25 mins it is 9.37+ dispatchers 2 mins lets round up to 0.25 cent and it is under $10 . Everybody pay taxes so don’t worry about government’s $10 . Joke is on you lol copes does not get 200 or something for 25 minutes . 😂
Actually when my son was 3 he stuck tweezers in an electrical socket. He was in the bathroom and the electricity shut off in that room and maybe another room at the same time. In a very old house that would've been extremely dangerous. In most homes home there is an automatic shutoff. Thank God , it's not as dangerous as it once was. ETA: I just did some research. It's still considered hazardous so best to put safety caps on the sockets if you have small children in your home.
If that's what if takes yes, we need more parents like her. Parents now a days allow kids to listen to music that encourages adultery, lying, profanity, disrespect, and many other things. They allow children to watch movies they are not supposed to at their age and because of all that, kids grow up thinking that that is ok. They look at it as something normal. So these kids grow up into adults that do not benefit our community and are the problematic ones.
UnSq You sure are an ass it’s called having a authority figure to help out since when kids are young usually they look o to police officers it’s called teaching a kid a lesson when they young so they won’t ever do it again it wasn’t a emergency called but a apportionment to teach....
Well teach your own damn child. So unnecessary to call the cops, just do your own parenting. Read a book on how to teach your child about safety. Explain it clearly. No need for a call to the cops. They didn't fine her for taking up time of the police important work?
There's a difference between calling the police officer standing on the sidewalk for a quick talk and having an appointment to call a police man over to explain things to a toddler which she won't grasp
The most stupid lesson for 3 years old!! Three-year-old child and mom called the cop to teach a basic thing, why?! So that mom can have more time to go and do some more make-ups for her man?!! These basic things and with such-aged children supposed to be handled by their parents and not by cops who get paid for more responsive duties! Have a life!
Mom made an impact! This kid will remember that incident for life, and respect for authority is a major parenting factor that is missing in today's society.
She's three; they'll be lucky if she remembers it next month. Parents bailed here; they did not teach their child to demonstrate good behaviour and obedience, by nurturing it in her all the way along. Parents get a huge failing grade.
@@vapingcatnightcore1110 What the mom SHOULD be teaching her child: -Honor/obey/respect your parents -Be responsible for your own safety What she instead taught her child: -Mom needs the police to do her job -The government actually cares about your safety (they don't)
I would let her get arrested too, rolling her eyes like that. Let her stay in one of those holding cells with the piece of metal as a bed for a few hours. Talking doesn't work on kids, you gotta act.
so let me get this straight the child had unbuckled her seatbelt and you call the cops on her because you didn't want to explain the situation okay I get if you're not wanting to go in great detail about the situation but you need to reword it to give a clearer picture of what happened because what I'm hearing sounds awful and your child is going to resent you at an earlier age and is going to be scared of the police not to mention she's not going to see you as an authority figure and neither would I if you always have to call the police on your child for misbehaving
now every time she does wrong shes gonna expect a cop to show up,,,when she gets older shes gonna really love cops...parent ur own kid,,,wtf,,,we don't need the government to intervene in everything,,smh
...which is why you teach the lessons early. So they learn. So, they are less likely to put themselves in a risky situation later, when there's no one there to redirect them. It's called early prevention. Costs less than dealing with cleanup later from a lesson never taught or never learned. Smh.
That's like saying it's not your kid's teacher's job to parent your kid. It's fine for other trusted adults to reinforce the difference between right and wrong to a child. Actually all kids are taught some morals from other adults unless you're homeschooled.
Thatsswell2012 He meant that its her job to show her authority if the mom couldnt manage a buckle just imagine how she cant enforce even more serious things
"Did you understand what the police office was talking about?" Umm, no...because she's fucking THREE! Kids that young aren't thinking about their safety; that's why their parents need to be extra attentive.
Kids understand a whole lot more than we suspect. Kids push boundaries. The best behaved kid in the world would try to push boundaries with their parents, because that’s normal and part of learning. Or perhaps you think a screaming or beating parent would be better. She calmly took the matter into her hands and taught a good lesson to the three year old. More parents should be like this.
1st world problems in America are just heart breaking. I hope everything works out great for this family and the child learned her lesson. God bless the good U, S, and A.
Oh holly sit!!!!! REALL?! THIS PERSON SHOULD NOT....NOT BE A PARENT ....Calling the police (irregardless of it being non emergency apt) WOMAN....YOU....ARE SUPPOSE TO BE THE....PARENT..... if you CAN NOT get "the message"across to a three year old......sheeeesh!!!!!! Really?! This is what is wrong with society....when parents do not Maintain Consistant Discipline with not only thier kids ....but with Themselves!!!! I Swear....All People who think they want kids should have to take a year and a day couse....to "Qualify" to become "Parents"! Period.
Should of detained the child for disturbing the peace. I doubt the kid gets any form of punishment for her behavior. 12 hours of no toys or sugary snacks might change the child's behavior.
Depends on the neighborhood. We are grateful that the police have so little to do where we live. Also, the mom called the non emergency number and made an appointment. Schools do similar things all the time- having police officers and firemen come in to talk about safety.
If you can't get your child to WEAR A SEAT BELT....How do you expect to get them to do anything in life. I was an independent Mother(dislike the word single) of two children for many many years,my kids listened to ME. Never had to call ANYONE for backup. Seriously.
What a WASTE of police resources. It's not their job to teach and discipline a 3 yr old on seatbelts.. What upsets me is they never came out when my bag got stolen or when my friend was stabbed... I'm personally disgusted by this
A black 3-year-old would have been treated like a dangerous criminal, approached with a gun, handcuffed and put in the back of the cruiser and be intimidated.
This is not a cute story. Toddlers don't need lengthy explanations from cops to buckle their belts. Why do we pander to toddlers? If I say, "Sit!" both dog and kid obey. No further discussion needed. Any kid misbehaving would get a good whack on the butt or head. Sit down, buckle up, and keep your trap shut! Buckle your belt or you get belted. By me! Parenting is a facist dictatorship, not a democracy.
This is for the readers who automatically think the child needs punishment or spanking. My grandson was very resistant to wearing a seat restraint. He was borderline autistic but mostly had sensory issues. One year everytime he went out he would strip down and get in the dogs waterbucket. One year he kept taking his clothes off. One year he wore two or three layers of clothes. He went througha spell of wanting to break thinks. The occupational therapist had us keep him a stash of twigs, popsicle sticks to satisfy thae cracking feeling and sound. He is finishing second grade, loves routine, reads above grade level, can add up a restaurant receipt faster than I can. He wears t-shirts and soft athletic pants, never jeans. I've listed examples so instead of thinking a child automatically needs a spanking for not staying in a seat belt, think about other possibilities, especially if it is repetitive. One thing I did when he was older was to carefully select a youtube video of someone being throw out of a wrecking car. It was a police car going over and the backseat occupant disappeared through the rear window. He is such a concrete thinker the visual helped him see what could happen.
I agree this is terrible parenting. You can't run to the authorities every time your kids don't follow the rules. I would have just pulled over to a side road and wait till she was ready. I always tell my toddler "Mom and dad want you to have fun. But safety is more important. If you are being unsafe, then all the fun stops". Should have just pulled over to the side of the road and just waited for the kid to understand this is not acceptable
Better she waste 15 minutes of taxpayers money now than a whole lifetime of medical care money to care for a paraplegic at age 4 for the rest of her life!
The Blonde Solution youre either slow or dont gave kids nor been around them. It's a child's job to push the envelope to see how far they can get with a parent. She's for she's at that stage of learning what's acceptable and what's not. Most kids that age try and defy their parents. There's not a parent around that was not tell you that their kids have not tried to push the envelope. On another note kids think you're just saying things cuz your mom and its mom's job to constantly keep saying no. Mom is always the bad guy that's why children using love daddy more cuz Daddy lets them get away with things. Did you always listen to your parent? She did what she thought was right so she wouldn't have to constantly tell her daughter as she was driving to put her seatbelt on once and it wasn't just mom being MOM!!!!!!
SEAT BELTS CAN NOT HELP IN ALL CONDITIONS , AS FAR AS HIGH IMPACT Accident ARE CONCERNED ,CAN IT HELP NO ABSOLUTELY NO SO DRIVING WITH RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED NOT THE GIMMIRCY OR HELMET AND SEATBELT
MJ D yeah she should have given that three year old a good beating on the side of the road so that next time she would know better than to try and disobey...
That is the responsibility of a parent, not the police. So what, she needs to call the police in the supermarket to teach her child it is not OK to take stuff. Do your own parenting and read a book on how to teach your child to wear a seat belt when they don't want to. No need to beat a child.
Kawaii Potatoes, it is passing off parenting to someone else. The child needs to obey the parents and having someone else coming in weakens your authority. Lots of parents have forgotten to use a look or a tone of voice or a stance to convey the seriousness of the conversation.
No Kawaii, it wasn't a good thing to do. I don't know any parent who has this problem. Why? Because they nurtured good behaviour in their children from the word go. This child has not been taught to respect her parent's instructions and that is the fault of the mother. What a joy this kid will be when she hits puberty. SMH
I agree kids should learn to respect parents first,havi g 3 kids now grown,I just had to look or speak in a certain way that they immediately know they are doing something wrong.Now my children would laugh and say 'remember when mom used to say or do this or that'.It helped them to instilled the same with my grandkids.
Teaching your child about car safety or safety in general isn’t abuse .. get them started young .. hearing it from others then just mom and dad is not bad at all so stop accusing her for trying to keep her child safe
Lol all the people in the comments jealous that this mom found a creative and probably more impactful way to discipline her child than whooping her ass like how they were beat as kids 🙄
J Munjalll Go ahead waste tax payer dollars to be creative with your child stfu if she couldnt enforce something as easy as a buckle just image the serious things she cant handle either
No Footy Skater Bruh ... if you think your tax dollars aren’t being wasted on stupid shit by the government anyways then I don’t even know what to say /: Sorry to let you know but money is going down the drain to the point where it doesn’t even matter anymore and that isn’t gonna change anyyyyytime soon
J Munjalll I know that but just because its already being wasted doesnt mean we should flush it ALL to shit just because its not being spent well to vegin with people like her arent helping😂😂
Three years ago my son was in middle school the vice principal called to let me know that my son stole a laser pencil from the teacher , after he finish with me I drove my son in the police station when he notice we were not going home and were going to the police station he panicked I took him in and talk to a police lady and told her the story she took us to a small room and talk to him about the result of stealing and the consequences of the act, he is ok and I don't have that much problem if ur kids do not listen just take them to authority they will deal with them
John Lamphier if she is not listening, she can’t tie her with seatbelt . Can you get simple point how about if she will jump out of the car? May be she tried otherwise no parent will do such thing
When I was 5...before seatbelt laws were enforced and before I even knew what a seatbelt was...I was in the front seat of my Grandmother's car when she had to slam on her brakes. My face hit the dash, I busted my lip and no one ever had to convince me to buckle up from that day.
Erin Jackson um sometimes I never fall and sometimes I put my legs on the seat hands besides I have a big body I'm taller than my parents and sister and I'm 14
It doesn't mater how old u r or even how tall, fat, or muscular you are. If you get into a roll over (like my dad did last week) that's not enough to save u. The seat belt had saved my dad's life and they can crash into u from ANY direction when their drunk XD also Why do you keep bringing up your age? age doesn't determine weather it safe or not without the seat belt, not wearing the seat belt doesn't make u cool
I see what your saying but you can also be jostled to the side u can go flying in any direction no matter how hard the impact and like I said that's not enough to protect you in a roll over
It’s not a cops job to discipline a kid. Be a parent and discipline your kid. Sorry. They don’t have time disciplining your child. Calling the police to discipline your child should be illegal and a charge of misuse of 911. If I were a cop, I would go “ have people who have been robbed, shot, assaulted etc “ and then leave
OMG, that little snot was looking at that cop like some teenage valley girl. In my head, I can hear her say "whatever" while twisting her hair. All she needed to finish it off was popping a bubble gum bubble...lol I say good luck to that mom because she is in for a while ride for the next 15+ years.
