Do you have kids who’ve needed steering? If Bobby cuts one of Suzy’s pigtails, you perp-walking him and printing him, throwing him juvie for 60 days? Of course

Do you have kids who’ve needed steering? If Bobby cuts one of Suzy’s pigtails, you perp-walking him and printing him, throwing him juvie for 60 days? Of course there’s the possibility of criminal behavior, but most of it is better served long-term by other means. I am speaking from looking a a couple of generations of influence here, both sides of the perpetration fence. There are infractions that need police, but the majority are best handled without. The original comment on this thread conflated bullying and violence with all discipline of all kinds (did not nuance between them). Cops don’t care about bullying anyway, it’s not against the law.

> Bobby cuts one of Suzy’s pigtails Yeah, if adult go around with scissor cutting people's hair? That is fucked up. > you perp-walking him and printing him, throwing him juvie for 60 days You came up with a strong punishment just to support your argument. The punishment could be a warning as well unless it is repeated offender. The punishment could be fining a parent. Instead of coming up with a better solution like this, we let teachers handle it. This is why bullying is not often resolved. This is why school has the strange zero tolerance policy. They don't even care about justice. They just want the problem to go away.
