When I was growing up, judges supported parents. But then again, parents could use up to deadly force to discipline their kids, at least in my state. We need a middle ground.

The Skousen case -- wasn't this featured on Court TV several years ago? The mother smacked the kid, the father drove her to school and basically ordered her not to tell school officials. She did anyway (which was her right). The jury aquitted the mother. The daughter got upset at the verdict and walked out. The daughter had a full scholarship to a university, so she didn't need her parents' support and had moved out of her parents' house in her senior year to her sister's house in the school district. I wonder if they reconciled. Court TV should do an update.
