Anthony Kiedis not being considered for father of the year

Categories: Babies, Health & safety, Celeb parenting, Behaving badly, In the news

I like Anthony Kiedis. I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I don't think Anthony is close to honing his parenting skills. Recently Kiedis was spotted riding around in one of those electric gem cart type thingees with his son Everly, eight months old, strapped to him in a baby bjorn. So, in other words, the kid wasn't in a car seat.

According to TMZ, who has picture perfect proof of the whole incident, the RHCP lead singer clearly learned nothing from Britney Spears. Does he not realize that every single parenting move Brit has made since she was photographed allegedly fleeing the paparazzi with her toddler between her lap and the steering wheel has been called into question and grilled under scrutiny?

And, not that this is any excuse, but it's not like Anthony is a young dude with no clue. He's in his forties (and still looking mighty fine, although less so now that he's pulled this stupid move) and, I'm sorry, should just know better. He has no excuse for being this unbelievably careless and stupid. And no, Anthony, it didn't look cool. I don't care how many drugs you did back in the 80's, it's no excuse for endangering your child. What a _____________.
