Bad Parenting: Dad Brings Toddler to Work; Unfortunately he’s a burglar
This one slipped by us as it happened over the summer but we just learned that a Florida father was arrested after police say he took his young daughter with him to rob a pawn shop. Police say Richard Byrd was arrested yesterday after stealing several Sony PlayStation games. (AP)
This almost, but not quite, tops the hooker who took her kid to work with her.
You want to be a criminal, fine. You want to have kids. Fine too (regretfully). But don’t mix the two. A baby sitter can’t cost more than $10/hour can’t a burglar or hooker afford that?
