If this lady did not do anything she would have been called a bad parent. So she did do something and she is still called a bad parent.
Catch 22.
Too bad the homeowner didn’t just take a shotgun to them.
Hopefully she’ll dish out some more punishment once the fuss dies down, and those kids will never think of stealing again. That’s a mother doing what she needs to do - disciplining her children. Far too many parents these days won’t.
My dad left bloody welts on my legs on more than one occasion. I actually deserved them a couple of times.
If there were more parents like this lady, we’d have far fewer young men in prison.
As a teen, my older brother was caught in a group stealing a car that belonged to someone they new, for a joy ride.
They police were not involved, but our Dad somehow found out about it.
I was just a toddler, but I remember the sounds coming from upstairs of that bit of justice being administered. That night, avoiding criminal behavior was one of the first lessons I learned!
She should be applauded and given an award for parenting. The boys were very lucky this time. If the homeowner had been at home she would be crying over her boys instead of trying to discipline them. To arrest her is ridiculous.
Talk about bastards who need a whipping...
Hopefully this “lesson” will prevent the young boys from becoming Bubba’s Bitches in prison.
sorry I am all for parents spanking a child but using a power cord and leaving lacerations no wonder the kids behavior was out of whack. I am just guessing but I bet that parent was never consistent with parental punishment and when she finally did punish her children it had more to do with the kids annoying her then correcting behavior... I am guessing that there is a lot more wrong with her parenting then just brutalizing her kids.
I also imagine the punishment she doled out would do more to put her kids on the right path, instead of the nothing the courts probably would have meted out.
Reality is that the culture has changed, and corporal punishment is no longer permitted. “Single mother with six kids” would seem to me to be the beginning of the problem.
How did the state get involved ?
