From every indication, Shaq's kids all appear to be well-adjusted and well-cared-for young adults.
What he's saying is a toxic sentiment, yes, but "shouldn't be allowed to raise kids"? Seriously? What are you even trying to say with that? That the State should have forcibly taken Shaq's kids away from him?
I will just say that say that this is a very common mentality among Puerto Rican parents. Oftentimes though, as appears to be the case with Shaq, it's more talk than action. They'll talk a big talk about how you need to move out and start your own life when you turn 18, but then when you turn 18, they don't have the heart to actually throw you out on the streets or anything like that.
So again, not ideal, but also does not rise to the level of "take his kids away from him!"
