Texas students sent from classroom to courtroom

Where is a 5 year old getting cited? The age for criminal culpability is 10 years of age.

[racrguy]

No, but when criminal conduct is reported, the officer has no descretionary abilities. Their job is to report it or face dereliction of duty allegations.

Ok, then why are 5 year olds getting tickets? If what they are doing isn't illegal/criminal, there's nothing to report. Win for the kid/parents on not having to deal with BS tickets, win for the cop on not having to write BS tickets, and win for the school, as maybe they'll learn how to deal with kids instead of throwing up their hands and giving up.

Yeah, but is a kid being a kid illegal?

You didn't blur out the address. Just FYI.

HAHA dammit I caught the phone number. LOL

[racrguy]

When anything is reported to the police, there is very little, if any discretion. Especially with a school administrator pushing the issue.

[Forever_frost]

This is outrageous. Time to start lawsuits against the school and demanding legislation that changes that

qft!!!

Just in case you missed this call I went on the other day. My parents would have beattttttt my a$$. Parents call the police for everything now days.

I've been on exactly the same call. 8 year old Hispanic girl would not get out of the car, so mom called 911.

Those police officers that write the tickets are incapable of exercising their own discretion on whether or not to ticket someone?

And you'll only need to do it once because next time they see that crazy face they will know you ain't fuckin around! That's how my dad was and that's how I am with our 5 year old, he's only ever gotten 1 or 2 spankings but they were good ones and he remembers them enought to know he doesn't wan't another.

Exactly. I've NEVER had to spank my nieces or nephews for anything. They know how I roll, and all I have to do is change my tone of voice and say "that's enough" or snap my fingers, and their current path of action is over. I know some parents are against spanking kids, but there are points where you need to give children a dose of "act right," and writing them a ticket isn't it. Why? Kids have no concept of money, the parents end up being the ones that pay for it, and the kids don't learn a lesson. Is it that hard to figure out? I'm a dumbass and this stuff comes across as common sense.

Hearing that crap makes me think of this:

Outstanding. However, all the other 72 assholes on that aisle in Wal-Mart would be calling 911. Trust me I am all for an epic ass whoopin however there are actually to many laws that protect the children. LOL

[Wicked98Snake]

That's when you snatch those little fuckers up by the arm and drag their asses out of the car and into the house. To be immediately followed by an ass whipping of epic proportions. The kind where you can't sit down for 2 hours or more. I have zero tolerance for misbehaving kids, the difference is I'll handle them myself, I don't need the cops or anyone else to discipline them.
