The Guy With No Birthday
Right there is the problem. Kid's are told today that their parents can't do this and can be prosecuted. Institutions like law enforcement, social services, schools etc back it up.
I have had my kids tell me the same thing, "you can't touch me or I can call the law". Taught to them by teachers in school.
When I was a kid and I got mouthy, I got popped, and was made to understand why. I have never held it against my parents, in fact later in life I thanked my Dad (RIP) for doing exactly what he did.
My step kids told me that so I drove them a half mile down Willow ave from where I lived to show them the boy's home in Lansing , walked them up to the door and asked the person who answered if he had room for 2 more cause if either of them ever spoke to me like that again they would be moving there while I did my time in jail so could they please have a tour of their new home. I them took them back home beat both there asses and handed them the phone ,they decided they were better off not being aholes where they were than the alternative .
