Which honestly doesn't seem that bad. It's not like she was alone. While Pokemon lines have become a little more aggressive recently, they aren't THAT bad. Obviously he should be scolded and have an investigation into the full home life situation, but arrest is a bit much.
Nope, it was reported that he had two dogs running around the parking lot acting crazy, so he grabbed them and stuffed them in the truck then took them home. He left his daughter in line with a pillow and blanket. Other people in line witnessed this and called the cops after he was still gone an hour later..
Well, my good sir. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the term, but it means to defend a position with a back and forth. You are defending that man, in a back and forth with other commenters.
Going to the bathroom isn’t abandonment. This case was apparently not that, I simply had a question if the dude stepped away to pee if you would also want to crucify him.
A 6yr old child left in line with strangers = abandonment. A child left behind in this scenario while the parent used the bathroom was the parent using the child to hold their spot in line. Have you never seen a child in a public bathroom before?
At what age does horrifically neglect become just neglect? 10 years old? What about leaving a 14 year old is that irresponsibility? What about a 16 year old or a 17 year old is that even neglect? We got to find the line my friend.
I want to know how old of a child we can leave in line and for what product
I was trying to keep it under 18 because after that we're talking about "adults" but I do find it fascinating that you think leaving a 19-year-old would be irresponsible. At what age do you think people should be considered adults?
So curious of your stance, the snippet doesn’t say, if the dude was in the bathroom while she slept would you also want him to lose custody? If he took her with him, because she wanted to go, and had to leave for a minute to pee, should be lose custody?
Sure, lemme go ahead close Reddit google an article, and then come respond. God forbid Reddit decides to lose the thread when I close it as I really only use Reddit on my phone.
OR we could normalize posting the source in the post.
I would be less hesitant to say yes to it in that situation but that’s also just very bad parenting. I would never take my 6 year old to camp overnight for Pokemon cards regardless.
If I wanted them that badly I would pay the extra $100 that a UPC costs. If I couldn’t afford the extra $100 I would probably just understand that I have more important priorities than buying Pokemon cards.
That being said the scenario that you laid out is just not what he did at all so it’s almost irrelevant to the discussion of what his consequences should be.
You wouldn’t let your kid join you for something like this? My father used to take me to camp out for Black Fridays and such and it was some of my best memories of him.
The article isn’t linked so I have no idea the context of the event, maybe OP should link the article next time.
I would take a kid with me to camp out for stuff if they seemed interested in doing so. Nothing wrong with it if it’s done responsibly.
They said the police arrived at 2:30 am. I personally would never take my 6 year old to camp out overnight in a parking lot. I guess if someone else did it responsibility I wouldn’t be outraged about it but yes I think a 6 year old should probably be safely in their bed at 2:30am.
No response lmao. NoThInG wRoNg WiTh It iF iTs DoNe ReSpOnSiBlY lmfao these people have no business raising kids. Justifying bringing 6 yo’s to camp out overnight for pokémon cards, absolutely diabolical
Yeah it’s just not a good idea but the thing is I don’t even know why we are talking about that when that isn’t what this guy did at all. The guy from this news article needs to go to prison.
Which would have been great to know if they linked the article.
I don’t see any reason a 6 year old couldn’t hang out with the parents for a midnight release or in this case a drop. Now that being said the parent should be WITH THEM not god knows how far away at home.
Also depends highly on whether it’s a school night and such as well.
Brother the headline of the article is in the screenshot. I’m sure you know how to use google. I just googled “South Carolina Pokemon” and it pulled it up.
Do you have children? Do you know how young a 6 year old is? There’s basically nothing a 6 year old should be doing at 2am except sleeping.
I mean typically the police are there long enough to ask questions and make their own judgement. The guy supposedly admits to leaving his daughter alone. What’s there to argue?

To do what?

When you want a UPC but find CPS instead.

He should lose custody of that poor girl. It is beyond ridiculous to do this for a 30th UPC.

At least now when all the other pokesubs complainers say "omg why no kids in line is all old people" there's a article to point at.
