Odd Sentences

"Parents treats military officer as if he's still a young child."  
That was the headline I read in section D page four of   The  Daily Gazette June 6th.
Of course the verb "treats" is in the wrong tense and it should be written as "treat."

The following is also from the June 6th issue of The Daily Gazette  section B page four.
"The grandmother was so happy to see Bowman that she didn't even tell Carter the gift he had brought her."
The sentence is not well written.  "About" should follow "Carter" and it is not clear whether "he" refers to "Carter" or "Bowman."  I discovered,   from reading the article further, that "he"  refers to "Bowman."
