No not at all. We have some serious problems with the County Sherifs Department down here.
I'm having a hard time understanding all this criticism of the actions.
From what I've read, the girl bit, scratched, threw chairs, etc.
Many of us think 13- and 14-year-olds who commit murder should be executed (well, I do), so why should younger children be exempt from legal action?
Well I think that we have a large gap between a 5 year old little girl having a temper tantrum and a teanager gangbanger going and shooting people.
I know that if a kid was throwing chairs at me I'd be tempted to throw a punch back...something that is strictly verboten. Lawsuits, criminal prosecution, never work in the school system again, that sort of verboten.
Well you have definatly jumped off the deep end on this one Tim. If we were talking a teenager going out of control then I would agree with you. A 5 year old though??
If a teacher can't defend herself, legally and professionally, from children biting and throwing chairs, the cops have to be called.
If a teacher can not subdue and control a 5 year old little girl without resorting to physical violence or calling in the storm troopers it's time to look for another line of work.
And from what I've heard about this little girl, it's beginning to sound like she ought to be put down like a dog that can't stop biting. Or at least kicked out of the school completely...perhaps a reform school will straighten her out.
When have you ever been so quick to blindly believe the spindoctoring of the government Tim? - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
