My daughter got hit in the face at a school football game by a former "boyfriend". We called both the police and talked to the school the next day. The police just gave him a warning and the school said that if they suspended him, they would have to suspend her, too because his friend said she hit him back. Unfortunately, she didn't and there were ten people that saw it and said she didn't. So, next time I told her to hit back. If no one else is going to protect these kids, they'll have to protect themselves.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638088901866929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-56665609748717621892007-08-31T09:21:00.000-05:002007-08-31T09:21:00.000-05:00Awesome post, couldn't agree with you more. What's...Awesome post, couldn't agree with you more. What's wrong with this country is the lack of consequences.<BR/><BR/>Banning tag and dodgeball isn't the answer - it's not even a bandaid on the problem! Go back to teaching kids the difference between right and wrong and show them the consequences of their actions and then things will change.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad I don't have kids. I don't know how concerned parents today don't rip their hair out over the nonsense.Kristen Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984459504977637298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-63589997441534060122007-08-31T00:16:00.000-05:002007-08-31T00:16:00.000-05:00I feel like I've been living under a rock ... or m...I feel like I've been living under a rock ... or maybe it's just 'cause I'm in Canada LOL.

We need more women being raised to defend themselves when necessary, instead of just keeping quiet and "ladylike".<BR/><BR/>As you can tell, this is a touchy subject for me, so I won't go on too much. Except to say that we're taking far too much from our kids. Halloween costumes, tag...what's next, hide-n-seek? Red Rover? <BR/><BR/>Grrr. And I don't even <I>have</I> kids.Kristy Baxterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720394064601831599noreply@blogger.com
