    The parents should be arrested.

    The signs of massive social deterioration in our society are evident not merely in the huge numbers of parents who fail to discipline their children, but also in the large number of inept parents whose attempts at discipline are simply stupid, counterproductive and possibly life threatening.

    It would be nice to find out more about where this was or whether there were any consequences for the parents.

    I agree, and the child should be taken from their custody.

    Holy crap! I would not have believed this if I didn't see the video. At least they looked panicked. But why in the world?

    I don't understand how, once they realized they couldn't open the door, that neither parent thought to get to the power source at the back of the machine. I hope they were high or drunk because I don't like to imagine people that stupid sober raising kids. This kid has a long sad road ahead in life either way.
