The Power of Guilt

Parental guilt can make you do many things. Like have a big family wedding when you didn't want one (my sister). Like participating in college graduation ceremonies when you've spent the last 2+ years saying you weren't going to take the walk (me).

Oh well. They provide love, shelter, and interest-free loans. Walking down an aisle or across a stage is the least we can do, I guess.

Obviously no one at TMZ understands the whole ATV thing. The last thing you want is for a kid to be strapped onto a vehicle that can potentially roll over. But, yes, he should have been wearing a helmet.

I have taken many rides on the ATV with my niece and nephew, and as long as you stick to tame terrain, there is next to no danger. I always make them wear a helmet, but there is no way I'd bungee-cord them to the thing. (Seatbelts are not exactly standard on an ATV.)
