  A parent is using his daughter's behavior as proof of a national decline in morals. He's making a federal case out of a glitter pen. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

  This parent is trying to solve a 21st-century problem with a 19th-century mindset. He's trying to use a butter churn to fix a computer. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
