Idiot son? Don't you mean bad parant? Any parent or responsible adult knows to keep dangerous materials and chemicals out of reach of children, you should have had that stuff in a high cupboard or in a locked shed. He could have died and you call him an idiot because you never taught him what was dangerous, I mean wow!

Parents who call their children "idiots" should get some parenting books.

hahahah, great parenting

YDI for calling your son an idiot.

Your son isn't an idiot. He understands that baking soda has that kind of reaction but since he's little (I'm assuming this based off of the use of the word tummy) he doesn't fully understand. This is perfectly normal! Kids get into things, my brother ate poisonous mushrooms from the yard, I ate a bottle of baby apsrine and we are not idiots! So cut your kid some slack because he is just being a normal kid who actually sounds intelligent for his reasoning behind consuming baking soda.

#23, You're the idiot here, you're hardly literate.

Seriously, if you are able to call your own flesh and blood "idiot" just because he did something like that, YOU are an even bigger idiot. Wtf? I doubt you've never done anything during your childhood. And be a better parent to that kid, you moron.

yea! i agree with #30. not cool, man :/

you're calling him an idiot but.... where the he'll were you when this happened?

Well.. you know what they say about the apple never falling very far from the tree. ;-)
