What do you mean by out of control? Today youths take less drugs and commit less violent crime than previous generation.

When my son was about 12 years old [he is now 30], I was picking him up from the mall when he started running his mouth and being disrespectful. I pulled off to the side of the road and made him get out of the car and walk home. It was probably a five mile walk and I watched out the window for him for two hours. I was so worried about him, but I knew I did the right thing. He never did it again. If I did that today, I would be arrested. Should we wonder why todays youth are so out of control??????

Wow! What a shocking case of child abuse! And I know what I’m talking about. When I was 11, I walked and rode my bike all over my neighborhood with no parental supervision. And so did my friends. Guess they were abused too. Sometimes my parents sent me to the store a few blocks away to pick up some food items or even cigarettes for them when they ran low. (Yes, I’m old enough to remember when kids could legally buy cigarettes.) Pretty outrageous, huh?

The charges against Lieber were dropped, but I hope he sued the SOB’s in the police department. Maybe I should read the book….
