IMO, there is a message sent to kids these days with all the 'it's for the children' sentiments and the existence of all this 'protection' they have from DCF, etc. Discipline and a little bit of 'struggle' is a good thing for a child IMO. But then we go totally overboard on some other stuff...kids getting expelled for bringing aspirin to school, etc. and this ridic notion of 'no tolerance' policies.
Just as a start, the girl would not have a computer anymore. And if she EVER wants a cell phone or a car she better not only obey her parents but also write a letter to that judge explaining what an idiot decision that was and that she can't believe the judge was stupid enough to fall for it.
And I mean it missy!
EDIT: OK it was in Canada...I didn't know the judges were so retarded up there too.Statistics: Posted by equus — Sat Jun 21, 2008 7:26 am
