Durkeim wrote that in order for punishment to be effective "it needs to be swift, certain and severe" This is the opposite of our current legal and criminal justice system that has been perverted by unethical lawyers, lazy judges and a prevailing conventional wisdom that its "not their fault." Well who in the hell's fault is it mine or the man in the moon.BS...if this kid continues to be enabled to repeat this behavior then he is headed for prison and a early death...they should take the kid and spank his behind until it is raw and if he does it again then do it again, then confine him in a time out...this is crap and not doing anything is not helping the child's behavior! Maybe a bar of ivory soap in his mouth would be a good thing as well... If he was my kid he would be dead meat - many parents are too lazy to make the effort to reprimand as well which is the other part of the problem...
I find your global assumptions about his child based on a single post, and the vehemence and over-stated violence of your response to be disturbing. The beatings come before time out? A bar of soap in the mouth for a punch, likely because of a dare amongst kids? Sure, kids behaving that way out in the world isn't a good thing, but their parents aren't around, and I'm going to make the grandiose assumption that it's just as likely that kid experiences *plenty* of violence in his life. His lack of respect isn't a sign that he needs to be beaten, it's a sign that no one in his life has been deserving of respect. Violence doesn't breed respect.
