This article is a great read. I see it as a very relevant link to insane parental behavior. The article is describing "helicopter parents". Hovering over EVERY facet of their kids' lives, including time spent in organized sports. That mentality manifests itself quite nicely when little Trevor or Joshua or Ashley is called for a foul...and mommy and daddy have to jump right in and "fix it". Their only option is to make the official the problem, not their little prince or princess' behavior. Maybe we should carry business cards for a local mental health pro and hand it out when someone fouls out.
