No... they need to have the living crap beat out of them, and then be left as crippled examples for future generations.

One of the biggest problems is the fact that there are no meaningful repercussions to a child's actions any more.

When I was young, if I did something even remotely wrong, I had the potential to have the crap beat out of me. That is the ONLY THING that will run through a young punk's brain when they go to make that "should I or shouldn't I" decision... "will I suffer any physical pain out of this action?"

They knowingly and openly scoff at any kind of possible result in today's society. We've become too complacent, and have lost sight of the fact that every now and then a kid needs to be smacked. Not abused, but smacked around, when deserved.

For instance, you don't see them doing this at the local Hell's Angel's clubhouse, because they KNOW they'll never make it back alive.

Some old fart with some old dusty cars in a warehouse? Fair game.

Makes me sick.
