: : : : I read on the front page of the LT this morning that 6 more cases and vandalism were reported. I admit I did some rotten stuff when I was that age, but what these two did is beyond that.
: : : this happened last summer around the same time and vandals busted out windows of more than 15 cars . they were never charged i believe , the police cheif needs to crack down on this instead of kids riding their bike on the street
: : This is really something. With all the kids strung out and heroin, you are all up in arms about the paint on a few cars.
: : What's "appropraite" though. A good old fashoined ass whoopin'. That's the biggest problem with kids today. They can do whatever they want and there's nothing anybody wants to do about it. Time outs, grounding, taking away privilages, does nothing when these kids KNOW they won't be touched. They do whatever they want and Mommy (if anybody) pays for it all.
: : Beat their ass. They be better people for it.

: I agree totally. There is a difference between child abuse and whooping their butt. 14 is not to old to get your butt whooped.
i disagree. if you don't have them under control by 14 a butt slappin ain't gonna do ya no good.
you gotta get'em while they're young.
