The deed is done, and Grandpa thanked the Adult who took matters to "hand"<G> "Grandpa" is a kind and gental man, who has put his life on hold to rescue/recycle his grandson. He is patient, and long on giveing Drew the benifit of every doubt.. To me it came as a surprise, as I likely would not spank the boy. This is because in honesty, I don't "care" all that much about Drew. I tire of his slacker ways, and thank God he isn't my charge. I do understand Grandpa's desire to "mainstream" Drew... It seems some "switches" in Drews brain do not function<G> The reaction of the Troop was that Drew got what he deserved. I'm sure it was noted.. that there is a limit to bad behavior. I'll report any "after action" results.. Thanks for your perspective. -=*=- The commander got permission from the guardian to do what he > wanted to do, a fine line of the law.
