Two things I hated to hear were "I know they were bad but I couldn't spank them because you would come and arrest me for abuse." and "I'm going to let y'all deal with them, I tried to talk with him but he just won't listen to me". The line I said more than any other in my Youth-Aid days was probably "This is a parenting problem not a police problem". [/quote]
Back in the day on those calls I’d take my belt off and give a 3 part block of instruction on the proper use of one, that wouldn’t fly anymore either but probably half the 30 something yo’s In Ensley have had me take a belt to their hide. Never got the first complaint about it.
