i have to watch my snakes starve as punishment

[Eric Alan]

This is terrible. I have a 4-year-old daughter and I'm getting a degree to teach pre-school and I can honestly say that the lot of you are unfit to raise the next generation of children. There was nothing that implied the OP was incapable of taking care of the pets. I personally interpreted this as a simple asking of advice and that his/her parents were actually forbidding them from feeding their animals, which is a crime. Anyone ever heard of benefit of the doubt? No? Well then look it up. There's no proof as to whether this post is a troll or not and therefore, you cannot claim it is. Innocent until proven guilty, right? As for contacting the store, what exactly did you mean "resolved"?

Unfit to raise children because they believe a teenager was in the wrong to knowingly purchase and hide an animal from their parents? Madness!
