In today’s world you would kick a 10 year old out of a car 3 miles from home? Kids are abducted every day in this country and you are one of those saying it is fine to make a kid walk home 3 miles? I give up - I don’t understand how anyone could think this is acceptable.... ground the kids when you get home - take their ipod or their computer but to kick them out of a car and say “see ya” is not good parenting..
“I don’t understand how anyone could think this is acceptable.”
I am not certain it is acceptable. I mentioned some of the conditions that would affect how I felt about it.
In similar situations I’ve pulled over to the side of the rode until my kids calmed down. I’ve never played “abandonment” with any of them. I think it’s cruel.
To take a child from a parent is devastating trauma. It should only be done if there is no other way to preserve a child’s life or health.
