Dropped a headphone in a supermarket and someone’s kid stamped on it ON PURPOSE and instead of apologising the mum said “he’s a child it’s not his fault”

“Yeah! It’s yours! “
What did she say when you said “I don’t give a fuck, give me my money”?
That child is going to grow up a menace to society.
She’s right. It’s not the kid’s fault. It’s the mother’s. I was taught to respect others and their property before I started preschool.
I think I would see red. As the parent and as the headphone wearer. That is so gross
“I know its not the kids fault, it’s yours, since you’re the parental guardian taking responsibility for them. The headphones cost £100 I take cash, thank you”
I’d tell that little shit there’s no Santa then steal whatever looks like the kids favorite food out her basket!
I hope your response was “I agree. It’s not he’s fault. The responsibility goes to the fucking idiot who’s not able to learn him to respect other people’s belongings. Do you know who’s the moron who think she educated well that poor kid”
And that my friends is how people grow up to be A/H’s. Teachable moment lost; and you can bet it’s not the first, or, the last one either.
I had this happen with a kid maybe 8-10yo slamming a car door into my car repeatedly as hard as they could screaming while the mom stood there complaining about them “throwing a tantrum.”
Sure, don’t stop that, nice parenting. The mom did the same thing when I confronted them about it- blamed the kid and said it was just what kids do.
*Stomps the kid* oops sorry I didn’t see him. Not my fault!
She’ll regret that shitty parenting when she really starts reaping his consequences
As a minor the mother is responsible for his actions and is liable for damages caused by her child.
And my parents didn’t raise me well either…as I stomp her phone to dust.
Should’ve called the cops for destruction of property
Can you just snap them back together? Looks like they were designed to come apart. Note the copper connector with a bulbous head on it and the 2 plastic guides.
The mom was wrong, but even if clips broke, a tiny dab of crazy glue will fix that
Sadly, there is not much you can do now. If I were you, I would have asked her outright to pay for it there and then. And if she refused, I would follow her to her car, get the license plate and call police (likely just end up filing police report). Destruction of property is not okay and headphones can be really expensive. Parents are responsible if their child destroys someone’s property.
But I understand that in the moment shock/surprise can make if hard to think /act in your best interest. I once had a grown man grab and yank my bag, breaking it in the process. I was too shocked to act then. It’s only now that I’ve had that experience that I now know you need to act immediately if someone breaks your property. Doesn’t matter if it’s a child or adult. They break it, they buy it.
follow them out to get the plate number and contact store management for the video footage
Zero chance I let this happen without getting even in some way
He is lucky he did it to you and not me because he would have learned that day.
Get video from the store and take them to small claims court.
Nah fuck those parents, that’s irresponsible af to be a parent, and have that kind of mentality
Like those who “want’s the best for their child” and spoils them, in the way like: “i don’t want to be too harsh on him”
And while the child acting like nobody can happen to him, and can do whatever they want.
It’s sad af when they realize, that the world isn’t like what they think it is, then the world suddenly crashes around them, then it’s just natural selection from there
thats when you’re supposed to say “ik, thats why you, the parent have to pay for your child’s mistakes”
God i wish this happens to me someday so i can kick the kid in the chin and say “i have aspergers, its not my fault”
Where is Freddy Krueger when you need him?
She’s right – it isn’t the kid’s fault. It is hers.
Yes it is absolutely his fault. He’s 7 not 2. Little shit knows exactly what he’s doing.
The kid is like that since the mom is an s$$ as well. Even 4-5yo knows what’s wrong and right
