Parents debate whether it's OK to let kids pee in public

Yes, but only in an extreme potty-training emergency.

• For everyone that says that peeing in public is always o.k., I would really like to see what the reaction of just that group would be if someone relieved themselves in front of their home, either the frontlawn, the fence, the parkway.

• I would like to see the reaction of only those who state that peeing in public is fine, if someone relieved themselves in front of your home or business, i.e., the front lawn, the fence or wall or the parkway.

• Not only did horses do it in the old days, Josh Brogan. Old cities like London had terraced levels of apartments, so that dwellers could throw it out of the windows and into the streets.

Were the parents of a 6-year-old cheerleader right to complain about a 'booty' cheer?
