[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 32320, member: 1550"] I've been reading everyone's responses with interest. Frankly, I don't think "sparing the rod" makes a child a crazed delinquent. I have no delinquents and never was into spanking and most criminals were abused. I do think applying a "rod" to a kid's bare :censored: is abuse and if I saw somebody slap a kid across the face in a mall, I'd think about calling the cops. To me, that's abuse. A swat on a padded :censored:? No, but it's not the answer. These kids have serious disorders and slapping them around won't help. Other than that, I advocate taking a child who is obviously not "right" to a hospital. The police can do that and, if they have a clue, would do that. A six year old should never be charged with a felony. Sorry, too young. If they did that to my kid, he'd probably be in the paper too because I'd want to call attention to this injustice in the state, and I'd let my kid know I was on his side. If he was sixteen, no. At six? YES!!!!! God help us--I'm just glad I don't live there. I can't imagine that happening here. All I can say is, I'm stunned anyone would think there is any scenario where a disturbed child should be charged with a felony. If the child is indeed a behavior problem all the time, then she needs help more than ever, not a police record. [/QUOTE]
