Occupy squalor: the ultimate test for helicopter parents

Since heli-parenting is oft discussed on GC, i thought this article would be a good read:

Occupy squalor: the ultimate test for helicopter parents
Washington Post

These are the mothers and fathers who demanded laws for bike helmets, car seats and warning labels on every plastic bag and bucket in the universe. They had the home number of every teacher from preschool to college. And they’ve even been known to call up their grown kids’ new bosses after junior didn’t get a promotion.

But what happens when these highly groomed offspring go off and join the hundreds living in the Occupy movements camps? To whom do you file a complaint? Who gets the irate phone call?
