A lot of people commenting on how the kid is stupid, but nobody asking if the parents had it coming. A lot of kids have abusive, neglectful, or otherwise shitty parents. If this isn't a cry for help or spiteful revenge I'd be surprised.

Oh come on. It's obviously just another stupid thing done to get clicks on social media. Don't even try to justify this.

You don't know that, you do not have any proof. That is pure conjecture on your part.

While this stupid prank is photographed and documented.

Now I'm not sure who did this. But the person who did it is pretty stupid.

If you had shitty parents you'd know this would only make things worse, this is blatant disrespect and another attempt to get views on tiktok.

One day, you too will be old and understand that kids aren't always blameless and treated terribly, and you'll see your peers whom you know to be good parents being treated terribly by their kids, and you won't look back on this moment because you'll have had hundreds of thousands of more important life experiences... But you will have an interaction like ours from the other side, and you will be hit with a strong and deep sadness that extends far into the future.

If you're lucky, they'll apologize for saying something so devoid of empathy for the people who actually have to deal with the damage caused in favor of a hypothetical person who was hurt by them. But most likely they'll double down, because they're 14-25, and the only thing more important than being right at that age is proving that age doesn't matter

Bruh I had neglectful parents and never once did I do stupid shit like this. Mostly because I knew if I did I'd get an ass whooping and it'd make my life 10x worse.

A cry for help? Maybe. But doing this is just making it worse, not better.
