These same feeble minded fukkas who make these types of laws are the same ones who are scared of teenage kids and want curfews and want to try them as adults and throw them in prison for life at 12 years old.
Kids do not learn to respect nor fear authority and they don't learn there are consequences to the shit they do until the same people who make these laws want to lock them up for life.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
Shit I remember when I was in grade school the surpreme court ruled in favor of corporal punishment in schools. Their reasoning was teachers spend more time with kids that parents do.
