Talk about parental enabling. . .

Here's one for the 'what-were-you-thinking' books: the Madeira mom whom police say pulled a fire alarm so she could get into Madeira Middle School to get a book from her daughter's locker.

Police say the doors were locked so Dora Wood pulled the alarm then slipped into the building while others were evacuating. The officers identified Wood -- not some incorrigible sixth-grader -- as the culprit from security films.

Two fire trucks, a squad car and police cruiser responded to the alarm. Police say Wood had her daughter with her.

This is either ultra-arrogance or ultra-stupidity. And what a way to train a kid not to take responsibility for herself. Maybe it's time to say, "Mommy can't fix this."

She'll get a wrist slap for all the obvious cultural/social reasons.

What, there isn't a doorbell to ring so the office can let you in? How stupid is that?

Good grief, and we wonder why our kids are such idiots. Because they have idiots for parents!
