Even before the dangerous part comes in - how about not letting your kids run around in a cemetary because such a place demands a little respect and decorum?

Bolded the part that's lacking in modern society in general...

I recently asked a 13 year old son whose mother is a friend of mine, who is one of the most obnoxious and disrespectul little punks I've ever met, what he thought RESPECT was. He told me it was the title of a song.
I'm not sure if I want to pound him out, or his dad for letting him get that way.

At least he has decent taste in music.

The blame rests squarely with the parents. Etiquette and decent behavior are not instinctive.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Go for the parent. The kid can't be expected to just learn morals all on his own. He needs someone to teach him what's right and what's wrong.

You may be right. His dad's an ass. His idea of effective parenting is to play World of Warcraft while the boy raises hell, and then laughs it off as boys being boys, acting proud of his little "hellraiser"

Yup, sounds like the perfect candidate to test out my "baseball bat to the balls" theory of population control.

Heh........where were you and your bat 13 years ago? My friend just called me last night freaking out. She was driving home and saw him and two of his friends breaking car windows and slashing tires for the hell of it. She screamed at him to get in the car, and according to her, he informed her, "He'll be home when he's ready, and because of her, they'd have to go find a new spot to HANG OUT."
Then, she got home and told her husband Dan, he started laughing, saying "That's my boy."

She SHOULD have pepper sprayed the little schmuck, I told her.

She should've run him over with the fucking car. Not like it'd be a major loss to society, from the sound of it.

Certainly not. Think of the mess that would make for someone to mop up. Not to mention the strong possibility of damage to the car. The downsides outweigh the benefits.
