That frustrated dad's tears drew national attention to a serious issue: overwhelmed parents at a loss over how to discipline their children who repeatedly act out.
"I'm a parent, I'm not perfect," said the father, who wore a hooded sweatshirt and a ball cap to shield his identity.

You beat some sense into them, if they're pulling crap like that.
Oops, sorry, forgot it's the year 20coddle. We should give the child their own home, food, health care, etc... for free.
Yep. This is what happens when govt. Tells us how to raise our children. Govt. Screws up everything.
Where was his dad when he went missing? His dad had no clue where the boy was until he heard it on the news. Just another typical Obama voter.
524, you need to meet one of these kids and their parent someday. It is a true nightmare, and the law is on the child's side and they know it well.
MY generation (and those before it) got their ass whipped for sassing a teacher, stealing, lying, cheating, acting up in class, getting in trouble with the law, etc. Nowadays, we "accomodate" them. "Counsel" them. Try to "understand" them. ALL at the expense of those who WANT to learn and be productive. And at the expense of society in general. And teachers are paid too much? Its sad that if you say something to a cop that he doesn't like, him and five buddies will beat you into a coma, and the state says "no problem", but a teacher yells at a kid and may lose their job and career. Imagine if COPS were required to TEACH for a year...wow...
I remember what it was like to have to get a belt for corporal punishment. It kept me listening to my mom. It kept me well behaved in school. It kept me doing my chores.
When children don't respect their parents and learn there are no consequences to bad decisions, that's where problems develop.
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
