We're pretty sure we've found Wonkette's Parents of the Year for 2015. At least we hope nothing tops this: In Lincoln County, Missouri, police have arrested four people in a fake kidnapping plot intended to teach a 6-year-old boy about "stranger danger" because the family thought that the boy was "being too nice" to people he didn't know. Tell us,
Can't wait to hear their parenting strategies for teaching the little ones about STDs, gunz, and drugs. And is this going to be a Reality TV series?
Used to work with a guy who said once when he and his brother were arguing in the back seat of the family car, his father pulled over to the next exit, pulled his brother out of the car and left him there, saying, "That'll teach you to fight all the time!" and got back on I-whatever.
Those of us listening to this story, after closing our mouths, asked, "Then what'd he do?" and our friend said they just went to the next exist, turned around and came back for the brother.
The guy telling this story was laughing and still didn't seem to know how wounded he was by it.
If this is how they lecture on "stranger danger", I shudder how they would approach issues like lying or playing with dangerous items.
Or "too sane".
It's OK, the story is not as bad as it sounds. Turns out, this was Brian William's kid- the story might be a touch exaggerated...
I came here to make this very comment!
"And that's why Wonket doesn't allow comments."
The most amazing thing about this? Not Florida.
At least they aren't gay.
The grandmother looks like she was kidnapped and taught a lesson by the Manson family. #grandmothersknowbest
Dude, this is Missouri, the :Show Me Your Hands" state. Fits right in.

They seem..... not "too nice".
Or provide immunity from diseases!
They have a very different concept of "quality time".
This might cause trust issues.
Wait until they bring in a flock of angry condors to teach him about the birds and bees
Also too- flock of angry condors, worst new wave band reunion idea ever...
