Well if your really going to get upset that their precious son or daughter is being cursed at, where the F are they and why arent they monitoring their kids activities on the computer?
+1 to that... It's like the whole watching ur kids watch tv. The do the stupid stuff that they see on tv and the producers get sue'd. THen the argument of parents watching what their kids watch on tv. Thats why parental controls are made!
My 3 rules of tradin
1: lower rep trades first(IF I AM THE lower one, i will ship first!)
2: will not trade across the pond
3: If i need something that badly, i will work the trade in your favor. I believe in Kharma...

I agree with that, but I am also realistic. Just because that is what parents SHOULD be doing, doesn't mean it IS what they are doing.

True. But I tend to hold the belief is that if your not doing what your suppose to, you forfit your right to complain about it. But thats just me.

Yeah, I just tend to look at it from a business point of view, if a child is injured in your store (regardless if the parent was doing their job or not) you're still potentially liable.

Business isnt the same as private. I know what you mean, since I have a small business, and constantly chase unattended kids out. Dont need them getting hurt or in trouble because mommy is next door getting her nails done and not watching her kid.
