She just needs a good old spanking to pay attention. When I got stupid at that age, my dad took off his belt. I learned my limits very quickly.

Why didn't the school call the mother rather than the police?

They did. The mother was called at about 2:00 but said she couldn't be there until 3:15.

Long post, but worth the read. Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm glad you realized the situation and that your kids know too, I love how you put it:
" They are taught to treat him as you would a dog that you're not sure will bite you". ---Very true.

I hope the kid learns life's lessons quick, before he hurts anyone.

I don't see why they had to use cuffs, knowing how bad it would look. Why didn't they just hold her arms and carry her out to the car?

I wasn't being sarcastic. I meant it. A timely swat on the butt under the right circumstances can work miracles.

Thought I would give you the head's up---

On Bill O'Reilly right now is Al Sharpton talking about an investigation about this---

At the exact same time, Sheila Jackson Lee is on the House floor asking for a HOUSE JUDICIARY INVESTGATION into this incident ---

Hm......both black and both raising a stink on TUESDAY after seeing this BLACK therapist on Fox say it was racist!!

Al Sharpton actually just said that he would do it if a white girl was being handcuffed!

Thanks for the ping.

Didn't see it but from past examples of these two, I'm not at all surprised. They do what they do. It's all they know how to do. How pathetic.
