What is it with parents today?

I don't understand parents today. Of course I don't have kids and perhaps if I did - I might think differently, but I just don't get it. Tonight on our local news a mother was complaining because her child was taken off a school bus by the driver after the child was beating the other children with a broom stick. The parent didn't seem concerned that her child might have killed one of the kids or put them in the hospital. Nope, instead she was concerned because the bus driver dragged the child off the bus to get him away from other kids. When did parents decide that no matter what - it is never their child's fault? What did this woman think the driver should have done? Talk nice to her child and ask him not to do it again? Then the news has to show the little boy and you can tell he thinks the whole thing is hilarious. I bet he will be one of those kids on tv one day that shot a gun off into a crowd or beat his girlfriend up. He already knows he can get away with that kind of thing. I just don't get it!
