Is Your Baby In The Right Gang?

Maybe it’s time to pass a few “You Must Be This Smart To Be A Parent” laws. According to upi.com:

Police in Commerce City, Colo., said a man who created a disturbance at his ex-girlfriend’s job was upset about her choice of street gang for their child.

Officers said Joseph Manzanares, 19, who was fined $810 after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct, knocked over a computer and a magazine stand at the Hollywood Video, which employs his ex-girlfriend.

A police report said the woman told officers she split with Manzanares, the father of her child, because they have “different ideas about how the baby should be raised.” Officer David Swift said he asked the woman to be more specific, and she explained that the parents belong to different street gangs.

“They could not agree on which gang the baby would claim,” Swift said.

Some parents spend their child’s formative years prepping them to get into the right pre-school to help their chances of getting into Harvard or Princeton. Others want to make sure their child is a full-fledged member of the Crips before it can walk. You say tomato, I say pleasecallchildservicesimmediately.
