Trust me, there's nothing you "can't stop" a minor under your tutelage from doing - if you're motivated to. If I did what I described, my parents would have simply picked me up, carried me into the house, and into my room (until I was done alert-screaming like I was in danger and needed help). We get it, (from your repeated replies) - you are not motivated in the same way. Just don't look at me strange when I look at you strange, if your kid is kicking and screaming in the middle of the walkway. That seems to be another commonly "uncontrollable" behavior of children, for some parents.
