I am sorry people....but there has to be a difference between jumping your bike near a road, where you might get your
ass run over, and jumping where you couldn't get run over if you tried. We are talking about the kid that ended up in
the road...not anybody elses kid.... not any other situation.... I am not taking a side here because I think that both
*original* positions had merit. I think that there is more to the squabble than that and I am getting a little tired of it.

Ok, lets see. Kid punches another kid in the face. The first kid should most defenitely be punished. In this situation we ahve a kid whos minding his own buisness, not purposely trying to hurt anyone and as a result of that gets hit by a car. No different than if for some reason he got excited, runs out in the middle of the road and gets hit by a car. I think that pretty much is going to show him, regardless of age, well I cant do that.<image.tiff>

But what does that teach a child....how do they learn lessons about life. If they don't learn these lessons when they are young, then they grow up not always knowing the right thing to do and they are the same ones that grow up and sue e'one over something that just takes a little common sense. Ok, I get the point, you don't think they should be punished for an accident. I don't agree with that. I've seen kids that don't get punished for anything like that.....they are also the kids I don't like b/c in my own personal experience, those are the kids that as they get older, think they can get away with anything if they didn't do it on purpose.

So a kid can do anything accidentally, no matter how bad it is and not be punished? Guess it makes me a bad mother when my kids accidentally do something that hurts themselves or someone else and I punish them for it.

you wanna see my arms and see the scars from punishments that were dished out to me for accidents?�� you think that made me less clumsy?� nope��� it still all comes down to intent.� and if a child didnt intend it then to punish them is wrong
