It happened to me recently after a clean body work and total repainting of my car.When I saw the drawings and writings on the bonnet I was angry but as a father I had to let go.If I had seen the culprit maybe i would have spanked him or her.Its a general habit among children. |

Yes, the boy was even happy to tell me that "mummy I'm helping u to write your name on your car" infact I was dumbfounded & angry, I didn't know if I should beat him because he didn't even know what he did was bad. |

If he's not suitably punished, he won't know it's bad, and will do it again and again, probably not just to your own car either. |

Siena: Its not that they don't know it is not good but I remember as a kid daring all sorts of dangers, warnings, threats and beatings just to catch some fun. Apparently pleasure stimulus seems to override the pain memories. New fun stuff can be highly irresistible to kids even on the pain of suffering "corporal" punishment. |

Funny thread and an inevitable act by most kids but to be honest I won't take such from a 13years old kid,not in this century!...Even from the age of 6, i reckon most kids have started knowing right from wrong, even at the age of 3years you are sometimes stunned at what some kids ulter and do, they are wiser than we think now. Any kid that carries on doing this kind of thing at 6years max should be seriously scolded cause i will blame it on inadequate parenting and exposure, at the age of 6 and above,no i wont take it! Well, some kids get mentally and morally mature at earlier age than others anyway but my argument is i won't take this kind of thing from kids age 6 and above, that is grossly dependent on how parents have tried to help their kids get mature and gain exposure. 6years and above is either wickedness or plain mischief, as we know how mischievous some kids can choose to be! Funny thread though, made my Sunday morning, to that fella who thinks we should be thinking of Naija issues instead of having a good laugh on this thread, where is your sense of humor and we can't sit down moping over Naija all the time,while we contribute our bits, we need to move on and have good laughs most of the time, if not na early grave mt brother. cheers! |

If a child between the ages of 4 - 13 scratched my car, then their parents would get a repair bill, it's that simple. They would have to cover the cost of a respray, and any other expenses, such as the hire of a car, while mine's being fixed. If my kids scratched a car belonging to someone else, I would do the responsible thing - punish my kids severely, and pay damage costs. If they scratched my car, they'd be punished, forfeit their treats, and the repair cost will be deducted from their pocket money. |

begwong: Then you don't really know me, bro. I believe children are products of their parent's upbringing. I will not cover the costs from damage to my car, incurred by wayward children, regardless of how impoverished they are. |

cgift: Is there something like a scratch resistant paint for cars? This is really a menace Yes. Some paint have self-healing ability for scratches that are not really deep. Not sure if they sell such in 9ja. Learnt this is the factory paint for Infiniti FX. |

Very interesting thread. Now I am not by any means a child psychologist, but I will try to offer an educated guess: 1. The kids are probably unaware of the significance of their actions - I dont think we have a bunch of evil kids running around! That is, except the Nlander who broke off the antenna on the dirty car. Thats just pure evil ![]() 2. This is a direct indictment on the state of parenting first, and second, education in Nigeria. Too many kids running around without instruction, values and structure. 3. Is it possible that kids resort to writing on objects because they sincerely wish to practice learning, but do not have appropriate writing material? If I use my 4 year old son as an example, he now knows (yes from a few spankings) not to write on walls etc, but once when he was about 2 yrs old, he drew a stick picture of me, and proudly called my attention to it. How do you punish such a child? I calmly told him it was pretty, and explained how he had done wrong. Now, I would be lying if I said it never happened again, the next time I spanked him but then made printing paper readily available, and left coloring books and pencils at strategic locations around the house. It has never happened again. |

Two4Two(m): 1:10pm On Nov 02 Dude, no be child abuse be dat? There's a difference between spanking and "i beat the living day light out of her", and you locked her a while in your car? If I were the parent, I would have you charged with kidnapping. Well, at least you admit that you feel bad. |

Twice now, someone has thrown some form of sticky liquid on my car! The first incident happened a few years ago and looked like milk shake but not really sure as it stuck to the paint and damaged it. The second incident, which happened last week, looked like starch (ogi). I tried hosing it down but can still see the imprint on the pain and windshield. I’m calling the cops the day I find the little bastard! I’m not even going to bother taking him to his parents; I’m getting him arrested before making his family pay for re-conditioning the paint! |

A kid wrote ABcd -z on our 405 in church, he wrote it all round the car. We saw the one on one side in church and complained to the catcheist , it was when we got home we saw the concluding part. The saving grace was that it was not too legible. I love this thread, let's reawaken it jare. |

Hasn't happened to me. I have this friend however, whose neighbour's kids were fond of writing and drawing on his car. They would leave their father's car and face my friends own. He'd complain to their father, he'd shout at them and even flog them but after, sometime, they'd start again. One day, he saw one the kids writing on his car again with a piece of stone. He came out, caught the little girl, took her to her father's car car which was also packed just across from his, and forced her to start drawing and writing on it. Big and very visible marks. Soon after this, they stopped. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
