Editor: Vandalism (what a joke!) The do-gooders? say we can't strike our kids or mentally abuse them. They also say when these vandals get caught that we can't punish them (jail, etc.). When we threaten our kids and tell them they're grounded they just laugh at us and walk out the door. When we lay a hand on them they say they're going to call the cops and report us. When the police catch them they can't charge them because they're too young. If they're older and get charged, the judge slaps them on the wrist and gives them community work because the "do-gooders" say we will damage them mentally if they have to go to jail. Then the law says the parents are responsible and should pay restitution for the damage our kids have done. Give me a break "please"! Let the do-gooders pay the damages. After all they seem to want to control our kids. Sign me, "Disgusted"
