I agree with omg. Children TEST their limits, that has nothing to do with what their parents teach them. Its called being a KID!

Its sad when these so called parents refuse to teach their kids simple life saving skills like looking both ways when crossing a road or swimming. The parents need to be thrown into jail for blatant negligence!
