Ah, the decisions we make as parents

Whether it's letting a child sit in the front seat of a car unbuckled, letting them in a boat without a life jacket, or get on a skate board without any pads, we parents make important decisions about our children's actions to protect them. They're simply incapable of making those decisions themselves as they're ignorant of the consequences. This kid doesn't stand a chance:

A couple can't agree on which gang their 4-year-old toddler should join.

A fight about the decision led to a public disturbance with the father's arrest. Joseph Manzanares went to the video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over several video displays, police told KMGH Denver.

Police arrested Manzanares at his home, Commerce City police Sgt. Joe Sandoval told KMGH Denver.

The girlfriend told authorities they were fighting over which gang their son should join. The girlfriend, who is black, is a member of the Crips while Manzanares, who is Hispanic, belongs to the Westside Ballers.

"They have different ideas on how the baby should be raised," Sandoval said. "Basically, she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would 'claim.'"

With parents this stupid I doubt the kid will see 21. Reminds me of a great quote from Parenthood:

You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.
