Perhaps you just jumped to a conclusion there?

Not at all,it was just an aside that I found amusing.
You were quite happy to deride the poster as a Daily Mail reader (the proposed chain of events he posted was not a quote from the Daily Mail) for logging a
possible but not a totally likely, or proven, chain of events that
might happen if we don't enforce rules onto children.
And in the same post was quite happy to take on board and equally
unproven and equally
improbable
chain of events that might happen by disciplining the child as your counter argument.
There is certainly no more evidence in the quote you posted to prove that excluded children all go on to be criminals than there was in the other post to prove that society would crumble.
