If your child has a debit card shouldn't it be your job as a parent to make sure they are using it responsibly? - 5150

No, silly, the VILLAGE is responsible for how your kid uses his/her debit card.

I dont understand how parents are incapable of watching over their own accounts or children's use of them...That should be the real worrying thing as vape gear isnt good but there are mujch more dangerous things they could be buying online, or things that they could try to buy online and then get tossed into prison for just for paying...the kid may not get charged but the parent sure will....I find that a bigger concern then "They might buy vape gear online!?!?!?"

Who gives a teenager a bank card and access to a bank account full of money? Whatever. Its not like those kids couldnt just go to the corner store and grab a green dot card. If teenagers want something, they can get it. Its that way for cigarettes, its that way for alcohol, its that way for drugs, and its that way for vape gear. Weve all been there. Going into a shop hoping you dont get carded, and if you do hanging around out front and asking someone to buy the shit for you or going to the neighborhood loosey dealer lol.

However, we should recognize that it IS all too easy to buy vape shit online. Its like ordering anything else. All you gotta do is click the "Yes Im 18+" button and your good to go (just like the porn sites back in the day, my first trips to vape shops online brought back some memories...if only there were hundreds of popups and intrusive automated program downloads, and 20 minute downloads for a picture because videos didnt exist online lol). It is what it is, its gonna keep happening until theres a crackdown which there will almost certainly be sooner or later. Weather its as "simple" as sending a copy of a drivers license, or a flat out ban on internet sales.

I feel like the problem nowadays is parents dont beat their kids anymore. When I was a kid you got a whoopin if you did bad. Its not abuse (though I recognize it can be), its just teaching a lesson. Kids now dont get beat enough and have no fear of consequences.

I agree with this more then most should...I see the end result of no discipline all the time and its because the kids can get their parents into real problems if they do use physical discipline, the power has been taken from adults and given to kids...this is why the last couple generations are the way they are.
Ive had my kids go into school with bruises from just playing around and teachers seem far more concerned then they should be...Ive had police come to my door after my kids were sick and home for more then 3 days, Ive had DCF investigate my home multiple times from older aged neighbors with nothing else to do then to make up stories and bitch and scream and bang on ceilings all night..

We dont need babysitters, kids dont need rights or others watching out for them and people should need to pass testing to be able to have children-people should be tied and clipped at birth and need a license to have children...we really would solve alot of issues if this was to happen.

Word man. I agree even though its a really unpopular opinion. When you have half the population of the country being stupid as all hell and doing 90% of the reproducing it doesnt take long for society as a whole to go absolutely insane. I feel like its happening now faster than ever. All this stupid PC culture and the everyones a winner attitude just cultivates a population of lazy hand out seekers who you have to baby and tiptoe around because they get their feelings hurt quicker than should be humanly possible.

And its amazing that the solution to the problem is to just slap your kids in the mouth once in a while. Beat your kids people, for the good of the world!
