It might be wet shoes this time and no life preserver the next. I had 2 boys think that life preservers weren't necessary and cumbersome. I made them get out and walk halfway around the lake to get back to camp. They were mad at me but I don't want dead bodies on my outings.
I thought the issue was whether it was acceptable to hit someone elses child. This doesn't even come close to addressing the main issue. Of course - every responsible leader makes sure kids wear life jackets on the water. It's part of the rules - wear it or you don't participate.
But again - the issue is whether is is acceptable to smack/hit/beat someone's child.
I had an incident in Rangers where a boy wet himself because he wasn't allowed to leave the room and he didn't go at the beginning when everyone else did. The Dad was irate at the incident but my question was to him "Why weren't you in there helping the commander so that someone could have stayed in the room with the rest of the boys." He said he was busy...too busy to be there when his son needed him..I guess.
Again - this isn't the issue - but this is OUTRAGEOUS.
How dare anyone make a child wet their pants.
If this were a leader of mine - they would be removed from leadership.
I would tell the pastor and I would make sure they NEVER served with children again. Ever.
What kind of an outfit do you run?????
What kind of a church do you attend?
My goodness - Lord have mercy on them.
