Hold on right there. Do you mean you let your kid bring a realistic looking toy gun in a bank and expected nothing to happen? Really? I wheep for humanity...

You are a ******* moron...you're actually blaming the teller for doing their job? Nice parenting job, Springer!

What does OP mean?

I mean if it was realistic then I understand the teller's pov but maybe you are right that the teller is dim witted if the gun was obviously fake (plastic, different colors). You didn't specify anything else in your fml.

You didn't specify in your fml but if it was a realistic gun then I understand the teller's point of viee, if it was obviously fake (i.e. different colors) then maybe you are right and the bank teller was dim witted. You are responsible for what happened because he's your kid but sometimes it is hard to keep an eye on EVERYTHING they do/have

That teller is a mega idiot. First of all, why would he think an 8-year old would have a gun, and second, why would he be stupid enough to push the silent alarm because of an 8-year old?

The only dim witted one in this post is your kid

Why is it that the teller is dimwitted? Wouldn't be the first time that a child was used in a crime. Sounds like she did the right thing.

Don't blame the teller for your mistake as a parent. I've worked at several banks and the staff is trained to take every threat/robbery attempt seriously. I've seen stranger robberies than an 8 year old and they were all serious. YDI

No kid should own a realistic looking gun. That's just asking for the kid to get hurt.
