   Seems like done in poor taste by the association eager to stereotype based on a single disturbing case that confirmed their biases.

   Wish I had a video of the three year old with his grandfather in my doctors waiting room this week. After encouraging the child to say "roll Tide", he complied, then acted out a bit as is usual for a 3 yr old but then topped it off with emphatically saying " I hate Jews", "We hate Jews, huh Pawpaw?". Not just once, but several times. I'm guessing Pawpaw finally started listening to what the child was saying and told him to hush. Eventually, he called his daughter to come to the doctors office to pick him up. I was mortified and disgusted. Children learn to carry the hate, disrespect and intolerance that they learn from their environment. You can't take every child out of his home to fix the problem. It has to come from a truer moral compass within their parents, grandparents and friends of the family.

   This video is a PERFECT example of the kinds of ppl that influence children. Now the truth is out. Stop blaming tv shows and society.

   Please...don't talk. Your makin the hole deeper.

   No 2 year old swears and uses racial slurs unless REALLY trained up.

   Face it. He has a better chance being adopted than living to 18 with you as a mother.

   There is no excuse for the raising of a foul mouth child. It is ALL the responsibility of the parent/parents. Kids watch, hear and imitate their parents. This woman should be ashamed and embarrassed.

   Nope, every child does not do this. As a parent she allowed her child to be exposed to this kind of behavior. We have a word fir that where I come from. It's called stupid....

   Sad cycles of self destruction.

   That the 16 year old mother would even consider all children doing this confirms where the problem is. Parents, it is their responsibly to teach them right from wrong. Clearly the mother doesn't even know what that is.

   Cycles of self destruction as previously stated in the comments section do perpetuate themselves. Look no further than the destructive polices of the Liberal agenda.

   Must we always bring the "Liberal agenda" into any and everything?
   This is clearly about the actions of one person and her inability to properly rear her child.
