[QUOTE="klmno, post: 364258, member: 3699"] I agree whole-heartedly with what you are saying, GN. The problem comes though when the people making that call - whether or not it's 1) a kid who needs to be taught typical, appropriate ways to treat an animal, 2) a kid who has issues but isn't intentionally trying to hurt an animal or isn't getting any jollies out of seeing another living being (animal or person) hurting, and 3) a kid who really is wanting to be cruel and inflict pain or physical injury to another living being- are people aren't well-trained enough and just go into a panic trying to play it safe and jump to the worse conclusion no matter what. The point I was trying to make is that while some surely would require the most streneous interventions to have any hope at all, some who might have issues but aren't budding psychopaths need appropriate interventions- not panic- in order to be helped and prevent things like domestic abuse or whatever in the future. My big beef is with the people who seem to have the authority to make these judgement calls- most around here are the least experienced, youngest, most naive, and really have no real-life experience when it comes to kids. It's just my pet-peeve I guess after seeing difficult child's teachers, attny;'s, etc. [/QUOTE]
