NUMPTY

Lo and behold, a peice of television history that embodies bad parenting and being a total numpty. A sub-story of bottom-lip-biting dimwittery amongst the heroics of a passing through Canadian canine.

The 'Smoke' episode of The Littlest Hobo.

Towards the end of the first clip you see the little boy eat some poisoned meat off the floor outside of a hunting store. Of course the little boy (around 3) is there because he was left outside (alone) after his dad told him to wait outside.



The second part shows the owner of the store take all the heat for what has happened, and the boys father feeling no remorse for leaving his toddler son unsupervised like it was normal to do.



Sure, the store owner has enough guilt of his own for being cruel to animals; but why should he take the flak for someone elses stupid parenting decision? This is bad writing, surely.

BTW. Enjoy The Littlest Hobo. I do love this show! The guest protagonist is recognisable from appearances in The A-Team.
