> Louder screaming and possible arrest on returning to the terminal (or at least a report to DSS)

I thought you Yanks weren’t afraid of your Gummint, and that’s what you have your Second Amendment for? Seems that all that you’ve managed to do is keep your guns and lose your right to raise your children properly as you see fit.

Not a good trade.

From the sounds of it the DSS is a secret police institution that you should dismantle pronto.

“I thought you Yanks weren’t afraid of your Gummint”

where are you from?
Surely DSS exists in the south?

” Seems that all that you’ve managed to do is keep your guns and lose your right to raise your children properly as you see fit.”

Well...what really matters is how you handle matters in the home. That is where most of the “raising” is going on.

The rules have changed big-time when you’re out in the public.
And if you spank your kid in public, you’re taking a big risk that most people aren’t willing to take.

“From the sounds of it the DSS is a secret police institution that you should dismantle pronto.”

We can agree on that.

On one hand...if parents really are burning their children with cigarettes, or placing them in scalding water - DSS is the only group that is going to get them out of there.

On the other hand, I’ve seen friends and homeschoolers go through the ringer with DSS because a spiteful neighbor hotlined them.
And these are the people that become afraid of their own kids because they don’t want to go through it again.

There are alot of people with alot of different ideas on what is acceptable discipline and what is not.

Anyone can hotline anyone and they can do it anonymously.

It isn’t like when I was a kid and no one questioned the parents right to discipline as they saw fit.
