it's the parents fault
Why do parents allow their children to run wild??

Re: clipping round the ear
 

Because you may get arrested if you try and discipline them.

what he should have done like any normal parent would do, is to have told him he's going on the naughty step when he gets home.

Thus further undermining the Father's authority and reinforcing the childs feelings that he can get away with anything he wants to do. :rolleyes:

Our namby pamby PC society will continue to fall apart until somebody in authority grows a pair and deals with the drinking, discipline and lack of respect issues that afflict a sizable proportion of todays young people.

From the OP link whilst in the police station.

Not quite a "clip around the ear", is it?

On the news yesterday there was a report about kids that had vandalised graves at a cemetery. if the kids were there they'd say "what you gonna do, what can you do?"

I'd tell them "I'm gonna beat the crap out of ya"

You can bet there would be somebody saying "see, this is why we need to protect kids. and let them know that they can do what they want. when you got horrible men like Gary around"

Re: clipping round the ear
 

I don't think they would say that just because you threatened to chastise the unruly moppets, Gary.....

Re: clipping round the ear
 

if they had reported it he could have got arrested for threatening behavior

Re: clipping round the ear
 

He should have done what any other decent parent would do, tell the police to read him the riot act and threaten to throw the book at him.

Wait till he got him home and given him a good old fashioned ass whooping.

My dad would have got me home and said

"pick a window"

This is where pure stupidy comes to mind, a clip round the earrole won't harm anyone, BUT this is where you get the do gooders of this world come into it.

YOU SHOULD NEVER HIT A CHILD, TAKE AWAY THERE LUXURIES, what a load of B's

This is why there is so much ASB, becuase kids are allowed to get away with murder so to speak, If my kids, were ever bad, that is precisely what l would do, getting clip round the ear didn't do me any harm what so ever.

Re: clipping round the ear
 

Didn't do me any harm either.......Eh!.......what's that you say.........speak up I'm a bit deaf.............. :D

Sorry for being facetious, just couldn't resist.

Re: clipping round the ear
 

Arthur, it wasn't a clip round the ear, it was hitting him on the side of the face.

Anyhoo, is it me, or is the child in the photo not very mature for a 14 year old?

ooppss

Re: clipping round the ear
 

Reaction is understandable on all sides. The father obviously felt helpless and angry in what would have been a very stressful situation, the police can't have people being violent in the police station and took the only action they could. Bit of a non-story to be honest, made for 'political correctness gone mad' brigade to rattle their teaspoons at.

Re: clipping round the ear
 

Not 'moderate and reasonable chastisement' either. He didn't dish out a punishment, he lost his rag and thumped a child.

Parental discipline is only effective in the long term if it is delivered in a controlled way. If it's uncontrolled it is totally counterproductive.

Daily Fail. Again. :D

Re: clipping round the ear
 

He slapped not thumped, I say it was deserved, my dad would have done the same but with no witnesses.
