REGARDING:
” Let not you who is not perfect cast the first stone.”

No stones, just words.

Or if you’re considering words to be stones, then the first is long gone so the rest can fling away. Please note that people aren’t saying a particular person did a particular thing, they are saying doing a particular thing is a bad thing and should be responded to by…..

@bmb……ME TOO~

I see these kinds of kids here all the time and wonder WHERE their
MOMMA is and WHAT SHE has been teaching them.

I have neighbors who only teach their children that they need look outs
to stand gaurd when they rob and vandelize, It is so sickening!

I hope these kids learn their lesson, I just don’t hold out much hope
anymore……

These kids do need to be held responsible along with their parents. My sister ran to the rescue for her two girls every time they got into trouble, she and her husband would even lie for them to get them off. Now my nieces are both knocked up, and the oldest one who is 23 now, has two charges against her for doing over $2,500.00 worth of damage to my car and for unauthorized use of the car, my sister is right there with her being charged with criminal trespassing. We were brought up to respect other people and ourselve, I can’t understand what happened to my sister. But yes if you do the crime you should do the time!!!!

Also, the kids have had their punishment. Let not you who is not perfect cast the first stone.

There are many good replies concerning this article. I agree that parents or guardians should keep up with their kids~ pay attention. My tho’ts are teaching respect from ALL angles. If kids learn to respect others, then they will respect what belongs to others. If they learn to take care of what they have @ home, then perhaps they will do the same elsewhere. As for punishment, I don’t believe the answer to everything is to give them “free room and board @ the gray-bar hotel” where we foot the bill. I agree with supervised ‘clean-up’ @ the park…thoroughly clean up their mess and even mow this summer…maybe some counseling/schooling would be in order to teach them the importance of respecting property that does not belong to them. Nip it in the bud by making an example of them~ whoever they are. We don’t need the big city trash and trouble makers up here.

REGARDING:
“They shouldn’t even be charged with anything , just have them clean it up”

Why should they clean it up if they didn’t do it?

Part of the purpose of charging people is to determine if they DID do the deed.

Deface = Change the appearance in a negative way.
Destroy = Make an object unusable.
Nothing to do with the charges, just the comments.

@ huh

“did you not draw on something as a kid at one point in your life?”

Yes – on the wall at home when I was about 4…had to clean it up…after the whipping I don’t recall ever doing it again.

Lesson learned: If it is not yours, take better care of it than if it was yours.
