Parenting

Yesterday Lynn went up to Lowe's to get something we really didn't need. In the parking lot, there was a kid of about 4 who was directly in the path of an oncoming truck, and Lynn grabbed his arm and pulled him to safety. I forgot to ask if this was after his shopping trip, or on the way into the store, but I think it was afterward, because he had heard the kid's name a number of times in the store. As in "Parker this and Parker that". Parker's mother thanked him, and when Lynn said that it seemed like Parker needed some intervention, she said, "Oh no, we don't belive in that".

Really? They don't believe in teaching a child safety rules? Interesting.
