Jon Gosselin Criticized For Bad Parenting?

Now theres a shocking revelation for you. Bet you never thought you’d be reading that did you? And here we were thinking that he was about to be nominated for father of the year. Say it ain’t so!

Seriously, embattled King of Pimps Jon Gosselin has been called many things, but few more accurate than bad parent. There are many, many reasons one could cite for this.

Picking out a particularly obvious one, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is pointing a finger at the dad of eight for having his little ones on his ATV.

Jon has been frequently photographed allowing his sextuplets, age 5, to ride in his lap on his big boy toy and the folks at the CPSC are calling him out on it.

They insist it is unsafe for any two individuals to be riding an ATV at the same time, and say it is especially dangerous for any person under the age of six.

Seems like these days everyone wants a piece of Jon Gosselin these days, and not in a good way.

The most frightening information, the USCPSC says: “Children are involved in one-third of all ATV-related deaths and hospital emergency room injuries.”

Meditate on that in your next yoga class.

You might want to try getting them helmets too, Jon. Then again, it’s hard to expect a guy with the brains of a five-year-old himself to think like an adult.

What do you think? Should parents allow their kids to ride with them on an ATV? Are the folks at the CPSC just a bunch of busy bodies? Have you ever let your child ride with you? Do you think other people should mind their own business when it comes to raising your child?

Let me know.
