"their children have been grounded."

[tim]

Hang 'em. :eek:I'd beat em but not hang em. ;)

^^That was a joke.

I do agree though that a public apology is necessary and definitely a long time being grounded.

I was grounded for a month once and never did what I did to get grounded ever ever again. I couldnt leave the yard, have people over, talk on the phone, and could only watch tv for a an hour with my mom once a day. It sucked ass, it was during the county fair too which is huge for a kid in Owatonna.

I learned my lesson though.:(

My cousin who is probably right around 40 now has 4 children. The first 3 are absolutely wonderful, and his youngest is a total 180 from them. My cousin is an awesome father, very loving, mild mannered. His son has some sort of mental sickness or whatever, that causes him to be ungodly energetic and just straight up nuts sometimes. His son is probably 8 now, and has told me to suck his dick. I can promise you he didn't learn this from his dad, and he never would say anything like that around his dad. I'm just waiting for the day he goes and does something crazy like that, and I'm sure people will be like "Oh my god, his parents should pay because he's obviously been neglected." He gets more attention then any of the other brothers/sisters due to his mental situation. They do more for that kid, get him as much help as possible, then I could ever imagine doing. If he did something that made the paper though, I am sure there would be people who have never met my cousin, don't even know his name, who'd be the first ones screaming CHILD ABUSE.

Just wait until the liberals get ahold of this, it will be the puppy's fault in the end. :cool:

I guess the boys will lose their X-box for a couple of weeks. :mad:

My dad beat the crap out of me when I did something wrong. Beating your kids is pretty much required and it has happened that way since the dawn of humans. in the past 40 years it has become unacceptable because its true that some parents went too far in punishing their kids.

but look at me, im fine *twitch* I know good, i know evil, and I know where i stand and I know what happens when I cross the line.

nowdays kids have no form of pain in response to them being bad, therefore they dont fear any punishments, and drastically effects their ability to remain on the good side.

Ill be dammed if that is gonna happen to my lil'brother. where is he? im gonna go punch the crap outta him....

Hell my old man would have KICKED MY ASS for a Month!

But you can't do that cause, the parents can't discipline their own kids correctly anymore, without going to jail themselves.

This shameless action shows just how hardened the hearts of todays kids truley are becoming.

Just watch the news, it's all coming to a head......

I udnerstand what you mean about punishment. Obviously you cant send an 8 year old to jail. But if I were a parent, I'd make him deal with his wrong doings. I'd make him help take care of a cute innocent little puppy. The public apology is a good idea to. But you also need to teach them why their actions were wrong. You can't just slap them on the hands say "bad boy" and hope they understand because they aren't to that point yet. So, I'd show him that you can't just do something like that to something so small and why. I would ground him, obviously the little shit wouldn't be doing ANYTHING for awhile. But to what extent can you ground a 6 year old? My sister used to get grounded all the time and she'd be out playing by the end of the day.

Brandon: There are exceptions to every rule. I know plenty of kids just like your cousins kid. I also know plenty of kids with really fucked up home lives who are turning out very well considering the circumstances.

Yea the kids deserved to be punished but they are only 6 and 8 years old, what can you do to punish them? Take away Barney or the teletubbies?

Read above post.

Those kids are fucked up, something needs to happen to set kids like that straight and I have no idea what could fix something like that. I can't even imagine doing something like that at the age of 25.... I have no idea how fucked up you and or your parents would have to be to be able to kill a puppy at the age of 6-8.

It's people like that, that grow up to kill gay people or people they just don't agree with. If you have no problem killing a puppy at the age of 6.... I dont' see why it would be a problem killing someone/something at the age of 18+.

Exactly. These kids should be put into therapy as well.
