Slapper, who is that next to sasuke? Its too small for me to tell lol.

[Isiolia]

Sounds to me like the mother has a habit of trying to offload her parental responsibilities. Who the heck calls the cops on their own kid, short of finding dead bodies in the house?

Maybe if she set something up with the cops to scare him or something, but in that case he wouldn't have gotten charged...

Dunno sorry

[archibaldcrane]

The mom is 27, her kid is 12, she was 15 when she had him.

I wonder why he's so misbehaved. It sounds like he has an excellent role-model.

[Ace-o-fire]

egh now days you cant even spank your child without some children's protective service getting on your ass. I'm also betting that shes a single parent too, and thats probably the hardest thing for a mother having a kid that old and her so young. I don't really blame her for calling the cops though it would have been dealt with in another manner.

[Po]

A GBA? Why not a DS?

At least it wasn't a PSP.

[Kaylia]

After threatening him with calling the police, the boy apparently returned the toy to his begrudging mother, who then called the police anyway

I laughed when I read that.

My mother wasnt much older (17) when she had me, and I think I had a good education in overall. It's probably not the same in his case, but just because she was still young mean she has to be blammed. I've seen a bunch of spoiled kid with parent of any ages.

[Tekki]

My mom/dad was the same age

I got my ass beat if i messed up

No problems since then.

/echo
Lesson learned? beat your kids ^_^

[archibaldcrane]

but just because she is young mean

Is that kinda like Hard Gay?

[Zhais]

Eh, I personally don't agree with the whole "Whupping Your Kid" is the answer. Neither do I tho with the extreme "Never touch your kid". All the restrictions and anti-spanking publicity came from the few parents who could never control themselves, and where stepping over the bounds of what you should and shouldn't do.

But, just because a kid does something wrong, spanking isn't always the answer. When I was a kid, I would literally get beat for EVERYTHING I did, wether I did it intentionally or even knowingly. For me, I became immune in a sense to this punishment. While they hurt, they didn't do a damn thing to change my behavior ((mainly because half the time I didn't do anything truly warranting physical pain)).

Calling the police to just scare the kid wasn't a half bad idea. Kids are brought up to know that police are basically to be feared in a sense that being arrested and jailed is a lot worse than what your parents can do to you. Having a cop come over and tell him no could very well put some sense into him, especially if he's been having behavior problems before. But, eh, could still just be bad parenting.

When spanking stops working just lock him outside the front door for a night or two.

[Kiro]

Spankings stopped working when I started to fight back. @-@;

And I remember when I was 13 or so, I opened a present early. It was that Trunks special saga thingy for DBZ. But I was a ninja back then so I cut out the buttom and the tape slid out. So when I was done I'd just put it back in, put some clear tape on it and it was brand new. ^O^


Edit: To the Sasuke signature thing, the other dude looks like Jackie Chan to me.

[Tonko]

Attention! The gay guy who has no children, and will never have any is going to give all you breeders a lesson in raising the results of your romps.

1.) Consistancy. Set a pattern for discipline. 1st Warning. 2nd Warning. Beat their ass. NEVER DEVIATE.

That is all.

[Eaglestrike]

Spankings stopped working when I started to fight back. @-@;

That never happened to me, at least until my parents got divorced. I'm fat and my dad has like 4-5" and 50+ lbs on me. Construction worker too, so a fair amount of that is muscle... "fighting back" got me thrown through a wall and tossed across a hallway like a rag. FUN STUFF!

[archibaldcrane]

My dad hitting me mainly made it harder for me to deal with tense situations in the future - it's basically impossible for me to keep my head straight when confrontations come up. My hands shake, my heart races, and this whole other monster that has nothing to do with the situation at hand starts to intrude. It's stupid and fucked up - I don't need that extra heightened fear in situations when I need my head screwed on the most.

This is partly because he sucked at corporal punishment. His method of choice was "rapping" us on the head with his knuckles, which is basically a modified punch with a sharper pain but softer blow. He'd only do it when he was angry, as opposed to administering pain as a punishment removed from his emotions, and it continued I think until I was 13, and my 15 year old brother said something that made him mad at the dinner table, and then stood up and said "what are you going to do, hit me?"

That was the end of that, but it definitely affects me now at 26. If you're going to use corporal punishment, you have to learn how to administer it without emotion, or you can screw your kids up.

[Ishido]

I would agree with Tonko, because if you know when you're going to get your ass whooped, you're not gonna do that very much. The only problem is when they get wise to it, and then only go to the 2nd warning and stop. That's when that 2nd warning disappears.

In reality, I think a good mix is about right. It will be different for everyone. But you also need to make yourself into a good rolemodel... however corny that sounds.

Child Arrested for Opening Christmas Present Early
Distraught mother rats on her own son.
by Micah Seff
December 5, 2006 - In a shocking display of parenting prowess, a Rock Hill, S.C. woman reportedly called police and had them arrest her son after he was caught opening a Christmas present early. After receiving the call, police arrested the boy and charged him with petty larceny.

The Rock Hill Herald reported that the child's great-grandmother had warned him repeatedly about opening his present early, protestations that he apparently ignored. The present in question was a Game Boy Advance.

"He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it," the 63-year-old great-grandmother told the Herald.

When the boy's mother found the package lying unwrapped and empty under the tree, she immediately approached the child, who proceeded to lie to her. After threatening him with calling the police, the boy apparently returned the toy to his begrudging mother, who then called the police anyway. Although he was not jailed, the two officers responding to the call did charge him with petty larceny.

The boy's mother told the Herald that she had reached the end of her rope with the child, and no longer knew what else to do with him. She claimed that she has been struggling with his constant behavior problems for a while now, and could no longer handle his misconduct.

"I'm trying to get him some kind of help," the 27-year-old mother told the paper. "He's the type of kid who doesn't believe anything until it happens."

According to the boy's mother, he had already been caught shoplifting, stealing money from her, and punching a police officer. She told the Rock Hill Herald that she hopes this arrest will put a stop to his errant ways, because she is worried about his safety. The newspaper reported that the mother plans on having her son placed in the custody of the state Department of Juvenile Justice in Colombia at his court appearance.

1) Of course it's a GBA and not a DS. When you're family pops out kids as fast as this one you probably will want to save as much as you can.

2) Preview of coming attractions?

3) Just LOL. I'm sorry but LOL.

4) Cops must have known the kid, or those police were seriously fucking bored.

5) Kind of like your entire immediate family in regards to pregnancy huh?

Hint for the mother: Should give the kid a pack of condoms and a lesson on BC for his 15th birthday. It's cheap and it's a gift that will keep on giving

Slapper, who is that next to sasuke? Its too small for me to tell lol.
