It is very sad that you have even gone so far as to reassign the blame to not just another individual, but an entire culture. Wow! Piñatas or BATS to be more specific, can be dangerous when parents allow children to go unsupervised. I have 3 children and my wife and I carefully gauge/consider everything they play with, because we, the parents, should try to control behaviors and environments, within reason. If we changed the context to baseball, would you also assign blame for your lack of judgement to American Baseball? I doubt it.

You really should be ashamed of yourself. Luckily, your child is too young to see how immature and irresponsible her parents are. I hope she grows up to be an accountable, contributing, member of society. But if she follows your lead, she will also blame others for her mistakes/shortcomings.

Instead of writing a warning against violent mexican piñatas, why don’t you teach your children it’s not ok to beat people up, and that it’s not funny to break mommy’s face with a bat?
Raising violent, racist children is definitely more dangerous than piñatas.

I think America should follow our lead and think off the children.

Thank you for alerting us all to a grave social ill. For years I too have shuddered at the violence against pinatas, but only now am I willing to speak out against it… Under a pseudonym, of course.

“After all the presents were opened, the cake eaten, and the guests gone home, all Gwen could talk about was how much fun the pinata was. She’d broken it open in one mighty swing and had been reveling in it all day. She even insisted on SLEEPING WITH THE PINATA BAT SHE’D USED. ”

..Yeah.
