Believe it or not - there are kids who simply are not going to 'break away from you on a busy street'. There are kids who don't get into everything when they are toddlers.

And then there are those that do.

One must know their child.

Is "don't spank another person's child" REALLY a controversial position in today's times? 13 pages? c'mon now...

They can but it's called assault.

Is there some rule that only Earth shattering events can be discussed here?


I for one am being enlightened by how some would allow a stranger to assault their kids , or refuse to physically defend their kids from assault.

Some people are so into personal responsibility that fail to see that public schools, public roads and cultural behavior standards are the village.

Sure it does. You came in to a thread to question why people were still discussing the topic. If the topic doesn't interest you then no one forces you to participate.




Two of the silliest posts people can make is to come into threads that have no interest for them and ask either "why are you guys discussing this?", or state "Im so bored with this topic". That's why they post an introductory title to the thread, so you can know what its about before clicking on it.
