Parents these days!

What is the world coming to? The following is an occurence that happened quite awhile ago that has still go me fuming. When "300" came to the big screen some friends and I decided we would go and see it - we're always in for a good Spartan flick. Arriving at the theatres at 11:30pm for the 11:50pm showing I was shocked and disgusted to see a man dragging his very upset, very tired three year-old into the theatres with him. He kept telling her to stop crying and calm down! How could she possibly calm down when it is 11pm and she's not tucked safetly into her own bed?!
Then, as if this did not enrage me enough, I get into the theatre and sit next to two preteens who look like they're there alone. Then I figure out that thier authoritative figure is sitting behind them with a kid who could not have been more than 10. Within the first 20 minutes of the movie there is so much nudity that even I avert my embarrassed gaze. I averted it to the 10 year old who was staring wide eyed at the naked woman on the screen who is being "pleasured" in various different positions. Does the dad even attempt to cover the boy's eyes or speak to him in any way, NO!
The parents of these children should not be shocked when their sons becomes womanizers and their daughters don't come home at night.
