A simple afternoon at the James Mowat School playground turned into a frustrating experience for local mom Ashley Ellingson.
She was there with her 4-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter, enjoying the swings and slides, when two young boys changed everything.
The boy wearing glasses approached Ashley and asked for the time. It was 4:34 p.m. At first, things seemed friendly.
The boys even went down the slide with her son.
But moments later, while the family was at the swings, the same boys grabbed her little girl’s water bottle and smashed it.
“My daughter was so upset,” Ashley wrote in a now-viral post on the New Fort Sask Informed Facebook group. She didn’t hold back:
“To the two little brats that just left James Mowat School Playground—shame on you!!! … How kids can be so disrespectful to toddlers is beyond me. Parents should teach their kids to respect other people’s belongings.”
ViaHer words struck a nerve. Within hours, the post exploded with reactions from the community.
Community Expresses Anger, Calls For Discipline, and Engages in Debate
Steve Chef didn’t mince words:
“Wtf go find them and knock the pics out of them and find there parents and explain why… If my kid did that and someone hit them and they came home crying and I found out why, I’d kick their arse.”
Via FacebookKevin Hosler blamed modern parenting rules:
“Remember when the government told you that you were a child abuser for giving your children a good ass wiping to discipline them… here’s your results but y’all keep listening to the government. They know best.”
Via FacebookLisa Shaw took a calmer view:
“Kids have no impulse control… hopefully the parents get in touch but kids have always been like this. Their frontal lobe is barely matured.”
Via FacebookAnd Brent Bakle kept it short and sharp:
“Slap the shit out of them!!”
Via FacebookA Bigger Conversation About Kids and Respect
It sparked a heated debate about discipline, child behavior, and parenting in today’s world.
Some parents agreed with Ashley that kids need firm boundaries. Others pointed out that young children often act without thinking, especially around younger kids.
However, nearly everyone agreed: respect for others, especially children, should be non-negotiable.
Ashley hasn’t said if the boys’ parents reached out. For now, her post serves as a public reminder: playgrounds should be safe and fun for everyone, even the tiniest visitors.
The James Mowat School playground remains a popular spot for local families.
But after this incident, many are watching a little closer and hoping lessons in kindness start at home.
