Although there's no absolute proof backing them up, parents swear kids are dropping more F-bombs than ever before - and they're worried sick about the collateral damage.
Some are even sending their 5-year-olds to psychologists to get them to sound less like drunken sailors and more like kindergartners.
The issue drew national attention recently when a South Pasadena High School student started a No Cussing Club and helped launch a "cuss-free week" in the city.
But with advice ranging from doing nothing to washing out their mouths out with soap, just what the !@$% is a parent to do?
"I graduated (from high school) in 1980, and we heard people cussing, but if we got caught, we got suspended," said Brent Hatch, the father of McKay Hatch, the 15-year-old student who is leading the no-cussing campaign in South Pasadena.
( At times children just repeat what they hear if it be at home, school, or on tv. I do miss the good old days when you got a bar of soap or a paddling at school and at home if you used four letter words. Read more of this story Parents swear kids cuss more.)
