Star-Telegram columnist "leaves" his 11-yr old son at McDonald's after a fight

He should not have lost his cool and just waited out the son. Perhaps he should have gone to the car and waited for the son to get in the car or sent the mom up there to pick him up. I don't take my eyes off of my girls. We all get our "buttons pushed" and probably lose our cool but it is our job to set the example and nowadays EVERYONE is watching. The whole world is watching how you rear your kids so you always have to be on your best behavior.
