Exclamation Irresponsible parenting

6T9PONY:

I can understand your frustration. Of course you have more sense that this kid's parents, which, while a compliment to you, is pretty sad when you think about it.

Obviously, this kid doesn't 'deserve' the Challenger and he'll probably wreck it and possibly kill himself, or, as often happens, others.

The parents are idiots and culpable for what may happen.

In most cases, they are usually just plain stupid, trying to be their kid's 'friend' or just buying him off so he'll not 'bother' them. Whatever the rationale, it's wrong and possibly tragic.

That you see the foolishness of this is, again, a testament to your maturity and understanding that giving an immature, ungrateful, inexperienced child a powerful automobile (or any automobile) is a dangerous and irresponsible mistake.
