Parents are rising up against the onslaught of powered scooters

#msg5920492Chow : They're no different than bikes, only more popular. Some old folks don't like them cause they're the latest "new-fangled gizmo". Let the kids have their fun. Their parents should teach them the rules of the road. Not a bunch of old-timers on a local message board.

#msg5921625StinksMcNulty : Oh for fux sake really? I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread and started reading comments.

#msg5921528StinksMcNulty : Question: Do you have children?

#msg5920121Parents are rising up against the onslaught of powered scooters AND RIGHTLY SO. They are out of control dangerous. I asked a police officer just today what can be done…..he said mam, we're working on it. It's being addressed. I suggested schools outright banning them would be a great start.

#msg5921750StinksMcNulty : Just a query that I think might make a difference, if you Do have kids. Your prerogative not to answer. wykyk

I feel like my comments will be a part of a minority viewpoint, but here goes. The kids in Kingwood are such lucky young ones. They have most anything they could ever want, but there is one BG item missing. They ARE NOT entitled to do anything they want just because they are kids!!! I see so many comments of "kids will be kids," "they are just kids," and the list goes on. There are rules of life that we all need to follow, and so many of the kids today are not being taught those rules. I hope I am not the unfortunate driver who hits one of the kids on their e-bikes or scooters, but if I do, it damn well won't be my fault. I am an 88 year old driver and I follow the rules of the road. I can still drive 85 mph with the best of them, but the streets of Kingwood are not the place for that. I recently saw a young girl driving a golf cart with two maybe 4 or 5 littles ones, with their legs dangling off the back, laughing and having fun as she swerved down the middle of Forest Garden. I pulled up beside her, rolled down my window and nicely told her that if she kept that up someone was going to be hurt. Her comment, "I don't care, it's fun." I think this type of attitude is the way so many young people of today think. I'm sorry, but rules and laws are for everyone, young and old alike. Parents please wake up and teach your children that actions have consequences and sometimes they are not pleasant ones.

#msg5921748LittleTexas : Why do people keep asking the same question? It doesn't matter if I have kids. My opinion is what it is.

#msg5922250StinksMcNulty : If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and acts like a duck then it is probably a duck. You are acting like a duck with no ducklings. 🐤🐣🐥

#msg5922886StinksMcNulty : It's not that you don't have kids, it's that you're wrong lol lol. Saying parents should teach them and citizens shouldnt discuss it is just ridiculous. That's the whole problem, parents aren't teaching them squat.so where do we go from herein your theories?

#msg5922911MissAmericanPie : I don't accept your premise. Parents DO teach their kids. Every parents here on KDC would say they taught their kids. So what's the answer? Some times kids **** up. So we all need to watch out for them. That's what I've been saying to you and everyone else who's disagreed with me. Hows that for being wrong?
