It appears that this child will grow up to always need someone else to control his behavior - cops, prison system, an overbearing wife. This is no way to handle poor behavior - nor is it a way give your child a free circus ride. Circumstances and poor judgment aside, this is likely a small window into the way this parent treats her child. Sad.
You know what's sad?
You have absolutely nothing to support any of your suppositions, yet you jump to your conclusions, regardless.
THAT's sad. How did your parents treat you?
Wow! I sure needed to be put in my place this morning!! Thank you! Most of us who treat each other humanly recognize that some things are just as they appear. Humiliating and demeaning. Tell me any way in which this is acceptable.
BTW - my parents weren't perfect -neither am I as a parent or a person. Leaves room to grow - and you have increased my learning curve significantly!
