Parents of the Year
Don't get me wrong - I cringe at helicopter parenting, and fully support parents who give their kids freedom to express their interests, and learn from their achievements as well as their mistakes, but imo allowing nine year olds to strap themselves to the top of an airplane pretty much crosses the line into ridiculously reckless territory. If that isn't off limits at nine years old, then what should be?
I wonder if the parents read this story before they made their decision.
Wicker was a contract employee who worked as a Federal Aviation Administration budget analyst, the FAA said. She was the mother of two, and engaged to be married.
A video posted on WHIO-TV shows the plane turn upside-down as Wicker sits on top of the wing. The plane then tilts and crashes to the ground, erupting into flames as spectators screamed.
...
"I'm never nervous or scared because I know if I do everything as I usually do, everything's going to be just fine,'' she told the station.
Famous last words.

No, honey - you are not allowed to skydive into a dormant volcano filled with cobras.
Then we are on the same page. I'm not advocating for laws against it, I'm simply pointing out some horrible parenting. I wonder what the reaction would have been if the plane that crashed was one that was carrying a nine year old.
Some people shouldn't be parents.
Just tell 'em to go get some fresh air andtoss the hatchet around.
Lol - it takes a village gang to raise a child.
...another reason for Eugenics.
