My son has done this too. I don't let him get a hold of my fingers anymore. They simply aren't in control of their bodies like we are.

Kids can be incredibly strong and have no sense of when they are hurting you. They also get out of control at times.

I would have preferred it if the teachers used some sort of padded straps to restrain the kid. Handcuffs seem so harsh. But I have no problem with an out of control child being restrained, and I think it would be worse if padded straps were standard equipment in a school. Too much potential for abuse.

First off, gravdigger...I thought your post was hilarious. Really, it made me laugh out loud, well written funny. Funny, like a clown.

Now, about that post: though the big bad men who are jumping on the idea of the ass-kicking of the restraining parties feel pretty puffy right now...did you think that perhaps if the fucking father were involved in the kid's life in the first place it might not have come to that? For instance, if Daddy of the Year had shown up for a meeting with the school about the kid's behavior, there would have probably been steps taken to get the kid help, ya think? Or even, if that kind of parental involvement had been part of the equation since the beginning the kid might not be a psycho snivelling freak-fuck future Dahmer? Clearly, the problem started long ago. Daddy, or Mommy, playing tough parent to a child of god: too late. Sheesh way too many losers procreate.

Oh no, let's teach the kid about shit-kicking and revenge. What's the next step up from Dahmer?

Now you may resume running around with your dicks in your hands, macho dudes.

She'll be killing neighborhood cats.

According to the incident report, a deputy said Haley was out of control. It said she "kicked the wall, went over to the desk and threw the calculator, electric pencil sharpener, telephone, container of writing utensils and other objects across the desk."
BigV and Grav, would your feelings change if the electric pencil sharpener that she threw hit one of your loved ones, and did permanent damage? Broken nose, blinded, brain damage? Unlikely, but if she had good aim....
