Not surprisingly, the Internet showed its horrible side and ripped the family a new one, saying that they should be jailed and even that they should die. Then a guy in Utah who owns a Lambo reached out and offered the kid a ride.

It’s a term for the internet loving someone, then finding some new info about them, then hating them.

Thereby letting the kid know that doing stupid, dangerous shit is profitable. Lovely.

Well, he’s 5, and 5 year olds aren’t exactly known for making thoughtful decisions (see: Donald Trump). The article says that he understands that what he did was wrong.

Yeah I posted about this last week too - I found the front page article on Jalopnik to be pretty shitty, essentially fat-shaming a poor kid -

I’m just glad he’s 5 and hopefully
sheltered from these press pieces making fun of him.
Would’ve been much more intelligent to do some digging and verify their sensationalism before running with it

He does not understand squat at 5. This is the age of where you cannot simultaneously tell a kid something is bad and then reward him for it and expect him to sort it out correctly.

Like when I found out Jerry Lee Lewis never apologized for leaving tire ruts on Elvis’ lawn? Total low class move, never forgave the guy for that.

Now, I think it is despicable for people to be attacking, actually vilifying, or threatening people in any way. That is just as destructive as a lack of discipline, and actually SHOWS a lack of discipline on the part of the people attacking that family or the Lamborghini owner.
That said, I don’t condone that, either, and I posted this on another thread about this topic.
Maybe all the comments about not rewarding bad behavior are because it is a valid point.
A day later, and this kid is getting national attention, and positive re-inforcement of getting a ride in a Lamborghini.
This is the roots of entitlement and narcissism, an un-healthy view of consequence, and a twisted lesson in cause-and-effect.
What if the kid had HIT ANOTHER CAR, or become an unavoidable obstacle on the road, causing an accident that injured or killed someone while swerving all over the road? It is difficult enough without parsing out that sort of responsibility or lack thereof. That is aside from possibly the child being injured or killed himself.
A 5 year old should be getting negative reinforcement for crossing the street without looking for traffic that could hurt them, not crossing the highway without being able to reach the pedals or signaling a lane change from the driver’s seat.
This kid won’t even be old enough to legally drive in some states ten years from now. That is not a reason to excuse this, and sugar coat it with affirmations.
It is almost too late by the time a 5 year old decides to STEAL A CAR to begin the discipline process and start to introduce the concept of consequence and the first mentions of responsibility, if it hasn’t been started from the time the kid first grasped the concept of “NO.”, which IS the parental responsibility.

To be fair, you can’t really do that with most adults, either.

I think it’s pretty obvious that child has likely never been told no in his life.

And neither have the people who make threats against them... which is the sad part about lack of discipline from the beginning, leading to lack of personal responsibility and maturity puts so many people in that position.
Even the well-intention of the Lamborghini owner... nothing wrong with giving a kid an experience with a supercar. Being aware of the context and the implication on that kid’s behavior, however, is a factor.
Many people don’t seem to have a ‘dad’ anymore, whether they have a father in the picture or not, likely due to the onslaught against the “patriarchy”.
Someone who will lay down the law judiciously and righteously first, to ensure immediate safety and propriety, and educate immediately afterward to foster self-evaluation and good rational thinking and decision making skills.
Not intersectionality, not self-esteem, not participation for the sake of adulation. Not SJW agitation. Not virtue signaling, humble-bragging, or anything like that.
Responsibility. Discipline. Respectfulness. Propriety. Safety. Service to others.
That is what DAD, and Mom also , used to teach, especially with a slight dash of emotional detachment, and dealing with the circumstances factually.

This morning he stole the family car again, drove around the block, and said he was on his way to buy a Ferrari.

That’s true, unfortunately. But at least (some) adults are more aware of what they’re doing and can be held accountable.

If oppo was to punish the kid with giving him a ride in a horrible car, what car would it be?

Careful, my friend. You are perilously close to triggering a rant about personal responsibility in our current age, where everyone looks for reasons for their failures and then morphs those into excuses.
