.IDIOT ! why would he have the butts in places of easy access to the lil kids. He is the one who made them do it. Give him a harsh sentence. Also its child abuse he need to be dealt with properly IF other parents are to learn a lesson or two

TRUE!

Children imitate parents. First of all the father should have smoked in front of children. Don't you think that the father's lips should have burnt.

Ban smoking inside houses and allow them to smoke outside. Problem solved.
