Another parent out of touch with reality

Okay, I am not a parent but when I see stuff like this it just pisses me off. Those of you in the Des Moines area probably remember the big brawl that broke out at the Roosevelt Hoover basketball game this past winter. During the melee that insued a female police officer was injured quite seriously by at least one high school girl. The girl in my opinion ought to get about 20 years for that, maybe she will learn something from that. But that part that pisses me off? Her apparently delusional mother saying in the story (at the link below) that her daugther is being "villified" by the media, but just made a mistake and is a good kid. Hey lady, if you think someone that repeatedly punches a cop to the point of the cop needing to be hospitalized is a good kid, you have some issues, get a clue. Looks like she may have set a good example for her daughter huh?

It's funny how the parents always believe their kids "are good kids."

Typically, if you have to defend someone with the line "(s)he's really a good kid" more than once, then it's not really a good kid.
