Man denies coaching 8-year-old boy to swear for YouTube video

"I didn't provoke him at all," says the 24-year-old man. "He just came out and said it on his own. He swears like that all the time." The videomaker has been charged with impairing the morals of a child -- a neighbor. (Hartford Courant)

I like this story of child mayhem better. 3 Yr old shoots shotgun at local fire house (twice!). With a muggy of the offenders red headed mum. http://cbs3.com/topstories/Christy.Smullen.Seaford.2.1881789.html

...turns out, the kid was just repeating some rap lyrics.
Mom and Dad need to wash the kids mouth out with soap, and instruct Jr to not talk to the neighbor anymore. Problem solved.

Sometimesilie - that mug made me LOL here at work.

Now I've to share it with my neighbors.

He's a old-looking 24. Nothing says class, intelligence and dignity like coaching a child to use profanity and obscenities.

One more thing...

And what's even funnier is the top banner on that story (at least with my IE cookies) is a link to "Hottest Celebrity Redheads".

The Gingers are on the rise this August 27th!

Any talent agents out there looking to put together a Sam Kinison tribute tour?

I got the hottest redhead celebs too, LOL. I don't know why but my first reaction to that mug shot was to LOL in the office too. Yup, I though, that's the face of a mother whose 3 year old fires a shotgun into a firehouse.

[RockyMtnMac]

Yeah, STIL, but the most disturbing part is that she is an 18 year old mother of a 3 year old.

Too bad that extreme stupidity isn't a felony. Otherwise, YouTube Swearing Coach and Ginger Shotgun Mom would be cooling their heels in the clink and society would be the better for it.

Only 18, already a mother of a 3 year old, and prohibited from possesion of a firearm? The 24 year old asshat neighbor is chump change compared to this mom.

Sometimes little kids swearing is hillarious... like Pearl:

love that the family of the child claim he never hears that sort of language at home
he's 8 yrs old, he has heard that language EVERYWHERE
