[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 187343, member: 1233"] I am not at all sure what I think about this. I do think it might give parents who are being abused by their under-age children an option other than pressing charges against the child. But it sends a very bad message: I can get rid of you whenever I want, OR Be wary if mommy or daddy takes you to the hospital - you might not ever get to come home? I just don't know what the purpose is in having it apply to older children and teens. I know we tried SO many avenues to find help with Wiz. Even pressing charges was not a real option because the sheriff refused to process the paperwork and the judge refused to let us fill out paperwork to press charges. And this was for serious physical abuse of me by a child who was bigger than I was. But I strongly doubt that parents in the situation we were in are who the lawmakers were thinking about. I think of all the kids who cry when going to the pediatrician because their parents say that if the kid isn't well behaved then mom or dad will have doctor give htem a shot. Imagine the way the child would feel about hte hospital?? [/QUOTE]
