[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741394, member: 1550"] Copa is smart. Use with caution. We contacted the police twice. My kid was under 18. The justice system tried very hard to work with her rather than punish her. Her female parole officer told me she was a good kid who she believed would turn around. She was right! Now if my kids had hit me, I would have probably called the police even as adults, which could have given them a record, but that didnt happen to us. But we dont tolerate physical violence...so...I am glad we didnt have to call the cops on our over 18 kids becsuse if they struck us or stole from us...we would have done so. We believe in consequences for crime and my kids knew it. Maybe thats why nothing like that ever happened.. who can guess? I only know they were aware that there were certain boundaries that we would not tolerate them crossing, even for them, our beloved children. No child, adult or younger, is learning acceptable behavior if they abuse us and we let them get away with it. A stranger, who could well be the next victim, wont go easy on our kids...they need to know. Jmo [/QUOTE]
