For my bit,I think the laws for kids and Teens who break the law in any way are far to soft today.
Those laws were written many years ago,back then there was the electric media we have today and things were different in the way of lifestyle.
Today they have far to much time on their hands,and for many they've learned that if they yell and scream (little kids on this point) they'll get what they want,and in my eye's,this is so wrong
.What they deserve is a bloody good hiding to bring them back into line,BUT,we live in the "Silly Society" these days,they believe in "Spare the rod and Spoil the child",well when that child finally becomes an obnoxious little s*** that treats everyone and everything like s***, and they cross the line and break the law,I personally believe that Law should be the dealt out in force.
How many times have we seen some brain dead parent in a shopping center standing there,saying,"Darling don't do that,while the child is destroying something in the shop,or the brain dead parent is the object of the child's fury
,do they pull the child into line?? no the best they come up with is Darling don't do that,in the most whimpy voice they can come up with
.
Today the laws that protect children from the full force of the law are so damned antiquated,they're almost laughable,and it's high time they were changed
it appears Parents no longer want to take the responsibilty of being Parents,so maybe it's high time the laws of the country did?.
s***,I say NO to my little dog,she understands,she knows she can walk all around our front yard,but she's not allowed to go outside it (and we don't have fences)she learnt at an early age,s*** or piss in the house and I go face first into it,so she quickly learnt to stand near the back door so we knew she wanted to go out.
It's like I've said many many times,Children and Puppy's,there's no difference,the sooner they learn right from wrong the better off they'll be,and the easier a Parents/Owners life becomes.
