Bad Parenting!

I thought I would be able to use this picture for something yeah I was reading snopes and could not resist. I am glad the babies were rescued.

LAYTON, Utah - It wasn't chickens that were crossing the road. It was a mother duck and 10 ducklings and the road was Interstate 15.Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Chris Simmons slowed traffic and herded the ducks, which were waddling south in the northbound lane, to the highway's grassy median. But five of the ducklings slipped through a storm grate and Davis County Animal Control officers joined the Friday rescue.Officers Ashley Langford and Brandie Stanley used tongs to get two of the ducklings out, but the others headed deep inside the pipe that runs under I-15. They duct-taped a small net to the tongs and then waited for more than two hours before each little duckling eventually wandered from the pipe within reach of the net.The ducklings were placed in a pet carrier and the mother in a separate crate. All were taken to a new home - away from the highway - at Layton Commons Park."We released the baby ducks first, then their mom. They all dashed to the pond," Langford said. "It was a great reunion."
