Inappropiate behavior on Vanderbilt Avenue
Comments

just because i don't agree with your opinions that naked kids should be allowed to piss on public property, and parents have the right to physically abuse children doesn't mean i'm here to cause conflict. i was actually agreeing with majority of the posters in this thread, but disagreeing with you.
amazing you complain and whine about someone who differs in opinion with you, but the previous two situations are a-ok. -
not going there, so please don't try to bait me

hyperbole much? If the boy turned in your direction and purposefully pissed on your shoes while the parent's laughed in your face, then yeah sure. 'most atrocious, irresponsible behavior' -
I think other people have noted that this is unacceptable and should not be encouraged by responsible parents. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops on Vanderbilt Avenue to take your child to. It looked like they were just being lazy and careless. Show respect to those around you.

So you would let your kid (assuming you had one) expose himself in public and piss on a tree in front of a busy, commerical street? terrible. -

Just because you're passive and let parents illegally beat their children infront of you without interjecting, doesn't at all make you a good citizen of a community.
Can't believe you're proud to write something of that nature.
a smack is not illegal. you cannot hit a kid WITH another object nor can you hit to leave a mark. but a spanking or a slap is not illegal. is it what i will do with my kid? no way. but i see it all the time, and that is that parent's choice. until it is a BEATING,...then i'll do/say something. -
We should start a coalition to end public urination. This is an outrage!
-
It is. I suggest there be a public watch on Vanderbilt Avenue this weekend. Methinks this kid will probably mark the same tree. I will have my cell phone handy with the police on speed dial.

jokez or real?

is prospectheightsyo secretly a member of the upright citizens brigade?

:twisted:
If a 4 year old has to go that bad, directing them to a tree is far better than the alternative- letting the kid piss himself and dealing with that. From the sound of it, they would have to go back to their hotel room to clean him up. And I see adults pissing everywhere, all the time in our neighborhood. That would be a better thread in my humble newbie opinion. -

Hey brooklynian- have you ever tried to get a parent to stop hitting their kid? Doesn't go over very well, I can assure you. No, I've not done it myself but know people who were blatantly told to "mind their own fucking business" when they've tried in intervene. You talk a big talk, do you walk the walk? -
Didn't this forum already have a debate on this topic a year or two ago?

Just curious about this thread's general opinion as to how old is too old for daytime public urination? When does it go from being "just a kid" to "ugh, cross the street." Because if there was a old man standing on Vanderbilt doing that, I think that a lot of people might have a different reaction. I'm of the opinion that it's disgusting either way, but I'm curious what others think.
It's going to be sad day for that kid when he has to figure out how to hold it till the gets home. -
it could have been a 3-year-old.

You are not a lawyer and you are wrong. Smacking a child is illegal, go ask Ichan Christian who was arrested last year in staten island for smacking his kid.

I know you think it's okay to hit a child, but in fact it's not, and it's illegal. I'm stating the laws, i'm not trying to argue your perception of them. -
I was offended by some people’s comments here.
1. I am from Europe and WE DO NOT PEE ON THE STREETS, not even when you are a baby; sorry…we are more civilized than that.
2. These people allowed their kid to do something that he shouldn’t have done but they didn’t commit any crime. I’ve seen worse things like a homeless guy shitting on the 7th ave Q station…THAT’S GROSS!
3. I don’t think it’s a behavior that you need to encourage but I don’t think it’s something that deserves 3 pages of this blog.
Get over it! -
hahahaha

Sometimes doing the right thing in life isn't always the easiest - this logic fails to make the act of a child being hit acceptable by my standards.

To assume someone smacking a kid is their parent fails to acknowledge the possibility they are a nanny or other trusted person who is doing this behind the parents back. I feel sorry for the kid who was being hit as you just watched and walked away. -

Yup, the most "atrocious," "digusting" and "animalistic" thing I've seen on Vanderbilt was a guy masturbating (on a Saturday afternoon, right on the sidewalk) who asked if I wanted to watch.
Given the choice, I prefer public urination. -

In NYC it is a violation of 16-118(6), public urination.. it is a crime.

Mr. Met is a public-pisser sympathizer in those other threads as well. He seems to be an avid defender of this barbaric behavior. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he too guards his kids while they piss all over the sidewalks!
-
I witnessed grown men pissing on the street last week in 2 separate incidents. Way grosser than a little kid.
-
No one said that adults engaging in public urination was more or less gross. In fact I find them both equally appalling.
Howdy, Stranger!
