RE: Thinking the Unthinkable
You can spank your kids. To say the government wont allow you to is a cop out (no pun intended). You cannot abuse your kids leaving injuries!! I have heard too many lazy or timid parents who simply don't want to spank their kids.

RE: Thinking the Unthinkable
Hitting a kid with a serious mental problem isn't an answer for that parent. Ronald Reagan closed all federally funded mental hospitals in the US except prisons for the criminally insane. There is no place to put kids like that until after they've committed a serious crime. If there's a reason to raise taxes to pay for something, the shooting in Connecticut shows it's pure negligence for the government to let insane people roam free. No offense to the guys reading this it applies to. We will bring you cupcakes on Fridays.

What's crazy to me, is that there are still officers in this city with such a narrow frame of reference that they believe that spanks would have solved her son's problem. It's about as likely a cure as a hug for what demons ail this kid.
This woman may end up chopped into little pieces - and it won't be because she failed to spank her son.

Well spanking is looked upon as a bad thing, police and child protective services will hold you under a magnifying glass if word gets out you spanked a child, even if marks are not apparent. Secondly if you read the whole article and or have lived with someone with a mental illness this child is probably suffering schizophrenia which is terrible and these children do not like what they do. I feel sorry for this child, he needs help and society has the answer of to lock him up. Psychiatry is a crap shoot, from experience this side of medicine is best guess. The police will not help in the event they are called, I went through this first hand after I made a call to police that someone was behaving badly and in psychosis, the police told me that this was not their problem and quote are not babysitters. The police and corrections personnel are by far the least trained people I have seen to deal with these occurrences. If at all possible get your child to a hospital that deals with mental illness, best guess is better than best shot. Police if given a chance will use these children as target practice, and the children know this. My prayers go out to the families in Connecticut, but also to the shooter. I pray for the shooter because the system let him down, not the gun laws. In the coming years we will see more killings not necessarily by guns but anything that kills, Japanese use knives for mass killings. Islam uses bombs, people will kill if they want to. The recent election will prove to have an increase on killings mainly because of the cuts on medical attention for the programs to treat mental illness. The public needs to be educated more on the signs of schizophrenia, especially school teachers. Teachers spend allot of hours with our children and should be taught what to look for, it easy to label a child as A.D.D. Mental illness is a growing problem and should be addressed appropriately and definitely not using prison as a care facility. In closing I can only pray for people and our failing health and government systems to help these children.
