But if your child did get arrested for protesting/rioting would you bail them out?
Nope. They could sit in there til they are released on their own recognizance. And if they can't do that because they have priors, even more reason for them to sit there.
Of course. For anything. I do not understand the whole tough love mentality. I suspect that is more common among less educated people.
I always thought it was the other way around; that uneducated people continue to enable and bail out their kids, therefore allowing the behavior to continue.
That's what tough love is for. It is to teach our kids that something is wrong, and that they need to take personal responsibility for their actions. Continually bailing out an assclown does not do that; in fact, it encourages worse behavior.
Years back my two teenage daughters got into a little trouble and ended up in a police cell. They thought it was funny. I had to go and talk to the authorities and rescue the laughing Thelma and Louise.
No matter what- I would bail out my child - right or wrong. It is called family loyalty. My family and the loyalty to them comes before any loyalty to the government or the state in any form. Of course my daughters leaned one lesson...that there are consequence to disruptive uncivilized behaviour.
No,,,, leaving them in a jail cell does not teach them anything...it might act as the first step of institutionalization...you don't want your kids to become accustomed to jail.
Protesting isn't illegal. You don't get arrested for protesting.
Trepassing, disorderly conduct, theft, vandalism are all things that often go with protesting, and no I wouldn't bail out my child for that.
Peaceful protesting is fine.
