Pillock of the week: dad takes 14 year old son on 122mph bike ride

If anyone thinks that the bloke on the superbike is the ultimate example of irresponsible parenting, then try this for size. Here's an extract from page 166 of the book 'Air America', about the CIA-owned airline that did some seriously dodgy shit in Vietnam and Laos:

'Bob Murray, who was shot at thirteen times and shot down twice, took his eight year old son all over Vietnam in his plane. 'He's been to all the forward bases and seen all the troops and collected all kinds of souvenirs from them - a compass off a North Vietnamese officer, helmets, flak vests, ammo belts. We'd land in forward airstrips where they were expecting nothing but Vietnamese and there was this eight year old American kid climbing out of the plane. He's got eighty hours of combat time in Vietnam.''

Not exactly conventional parenting, I think you'll agree.
