RULES FOR RAISING DELINQUENT CHILDREN
1. Beginning with infancy, give them everything they want. Then they will grow up believing the world owes them a living.
2. When they pick up bad words, laugh. This will make them think they are cute!
3. Never give them any religious training. Wait until they’re 21 and let them decide for themselves.
4. Avoid the use of the word “wrong.” It might develop a guilt complex. Later when they are arrested for shoplifting, they will know society is against them.
5. Pick up everything they leave lying around, toys, books, shoes and clothes. That way they will become experienced in throwing responsibility on others.
6. Have plenty of fights in front of them. Then, after your divorce, they won’t be surprised.
7. Give them all the spending money they want. Why should they earn their own and have it as tough as you did?
8. Take their sides against neighbors, playmates and teachers. They are all prejudiced against your child.
9. Satisfy all of their cravings for food, drink and pleasure. Childhood should be fun. Denial may lead to frustration.
10. Prepare for a life of grief that you will probably have. —Houston Police Dept.
