Honey, Which Gang Should Our Baby Join?

I've heard about parents fighting over which school their children should attend. Ditto for church, day care, and extracurricular activities. But here is another issue that makes me scratch my head . . .

Patrons at a Hollywood Video store witnessed a man tearing up the area around the checkout counter as he argued with the teen mother of his child. They were members of different gangs - she was with the Crips and he was with the West Side Ballers. They were arguing over which GANG their 4 year old child would join when old enough to do so!!! Read the story here.

Now I'm not one who generally prefers to get DHS or the court system involved in people's lives, but this is ridiculous. The phrase "detrimental to the well being of the child" keeps coming to mind as possibly neither of them is fit to be a parent.

What do you think?
