Actually, we are with Elly on this one....follow the logic:
SCENARIO 1 - Kid falls down a well. A neighbor hears the childs screams for help, and grabs a couple of other neighbors who rig a rope to the tow on a truck, and lowers down their thinnest person fondly named "Crack-head" Nancy. Nancy is lowered into the well, grabs the kid, and gives the word to pull them up. The kid is rescued, they repremand the parents for not watching their kid, and they all go to a bar to celebrate.
SCENARIO 2 - Kid falls down a well. A neighbor hears the childs screams for help, and calls the media before calling emergency services. She immediately removes the curlers from her hair and does her makeup. She then checks on the kid right when emergency vehicles arrive. The sounds attract other members of the neighborhood. The woman gets her 15 minutes of fame. The local polititian sees an opportunity for media attention and promptly sues all local well construction companies for not building "child-safe barriers". The parents finally noticing it is their kid after seeing the rescue on the television..put on their best dress, rig up some fake tears, and get their 15 minutes of fame as "the concerned parents". Other folks see the story on the news and also generate a lawsuit against local well makers....all the while their children are running around unsupervised....the madness continues.
Our point? You are all contributing to making this story a "SCENARIO 2"....You are merely feeding the attention frenzy which makes it bigger then what it should be. Want to help the problem? Ignore it ...or if you do need to feed the beast...feed it poison... get your parents to see things logically ("Parent responsibility"), and have them write letters to their senators saying this guy is a moron. Get some kudo points in school by convincing a teacher of "Parent Responsibility (if anything..teachers may get it more because they are always getting crap because parents refuse to be parents and leave teachers to do their job)..then maybe with their help put together petitions saying this guy is a moron.
or ignore it...and get parents and others to ignore it...there are bigger problesm in this world then this.
Hope you enjoyed the creative scenarios
