Fake Tattoos Should Be The Only Kind For Kids
Now I’ve heard it all! According to MercuryNews.com, a California man is charged with aggravated mayhem and street terrorism for forcing his 7 year old son to get a tattoo. And not just any tattoo, but a symbol for a street gang. Wow. You see, in California it is illegal for a person under 18 to get inked. And maybe dad didn’t know the law…poor guy. That’s probably why he’s pleading not guilty. And it’s not like dad actually put the body art on the boy himself. He only held down his 7 year old, while his friend tattooed the dog paw on the boy’s right hip. The friend, by the way, is not actually a licensed tattoo artist but he does tattoos for the Bulldog street gang. He’s also pleading not guilty. Now, I don’t know much about gangs but I figure that they want to recruit people they trust and young people they can manipulate and control. Well, if that’s the case, your own 7 year old child would be the perfect candidate. Good thinking dad! Crazy. All kidding aside, I hope the judge in this case will give the maximum penalty, life in prison. Maybe then the poor kid will have a chance, if he’s not too messed up already.
