Shotgun 1 #3 July 26, 2007 QuoteThe indictment includes one count of interfering with a flight attendant and two counts of assault on a child under 16 on an airplane. Is it different to assault children on an airplane than it is to assault them somewhere else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each assault count carries a penalty of up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. ? Well I guess this mom would have gotten along just dandy with the ExpressJet's flight attendant...

I think that implies that assault on a child in Wal-Mart, or K-Mart, or any other store that ends in "Mart" is perfectly acceptable.

Just don’t do it in Public. Or in a restaurant bathroom when I'm sitting on the shitter. Man dragged his kid in there and whooped his ass a few times. Kid was bawling.

simplyputsi 0 #11 July 26, 2007 Most importantly the lessons to be learned here are anyone anyone The flight attendant needs to just stay out of it if it involves a kid. That or get in there and beat the kid themselves Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 130 #13 July 26, 2007 perhaps the flight attendant should have thanked the parent for dealing with the 2 kidsGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each assault count carries a penalty of up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. Yeah I also read this and thought WTF. We have rapists and bank robbers who get less time in prison and aren't fined $250,000 dollars. There is a big difference in swatting a kid and causing serious injury to a kid. Of course I don't condone hitting a kid just for the hell of it but I think a lot of problems with kids would get better if the old spare the rod spoil the child philosophy made a come back in society.Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

It doesn't sound like this woman was attempting to discipline her children; it sounds like she was taking out her own frustration by hitting them and cursing at them. It's no surprise that children don't behave well when their parents don't behave well either.

I don't hit my kids but they are much more afraid of me than they are of their 6'2" father who was in the Army. It's all about discipline, not punishment. I used to be able to tame the kids with just "the look" without a word uttered. My 16 year old son joked the other day that "the look" doesn't scare him any more. I asked today if he's figured out that I'm all mushy inside. He replied, "I'm still scared of you, I'm just not afraid of that look anymore". My work here is done.
