Robbery is using force to take something. Breaking and entering isn't relevant to that at all. If you punch somebody in the mouth on the street and take their wallet, you just robbed them. You didn't have to break anything nor enter anything. You don't get charged with robbery and assault for getting your bike out of somebody's yard after they took it from you.
I did read most of the comments. Including yours, where you said "You all are judging the parents on the basis of her simply NOT HITTING HER CHILD." And this comment, where you're pivoting away from what you initially said so that you can appear to be correct.

Sad really. Single parent homes and homes without discipline or caring parents are ruining this country.
Yea... They must have been beaten when they were kids...
I don't really know what you mean by that but in this particular kids case he was lacking a beating or three.
Exactly the response I thought I'd get...
That's where I was going... It's stupid to think that's the problem.. should've been beaten. Wow

So you're saying kids shouldn't be taught right from wrong? That punishment is not acceptable in teaching children?
And you would think the person that obituary stole the bike should get a beaten right?
If you try to play word games with me, I'm done here with you.
The 12-year-old, who can't be identified due to provisions in the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has spent time behind bars at a youth correctional facility and recently started probation. He has a court-ordered 10 p.m. curfew, his mom said.

he boy's mom, who also can't be identified, told CBC News she was happy to hear the officer involved is facing an assault charge. "I hope it prevents him from hitting someone else. I don't hit my kids," she said Wednesday night.
Maybe if she did, she wouldn't have to call the cops on her own son in her own house.
I don't think it's too early for this woman to become friendly with a good criminal defense lawyer and a bail bondsman. She's going to need both in a few years. And start locking up the valuables.
Oh just stop already.
Hitting a kid doesn't fix or help, it's everything said and done around it. I didn't need hit, nor did any other friends I have who are all successful. It's a cop out for the frustrated unintelligent people.
All you old people need to stop saying respect your elders. That's a cop out too. You are saying EVERY old person deserves the utmost respect from a kid just because they are a kid?... No, that's the wrong message. It needs to be simply treat people how you want to be treated. (Respect follows suit) once you demand things from kids most will push the boundaries to see where they get or do the opposite anyway.
I'm not saying anyone is right here. CERTAINLY THE COP IS OUT OF LINE.
It's the COP'S JOB to diffuse the situation and keep the peace. So did the cop use force on this kid to take him into custody? No? Then why unnecessary force? He's a cop, not a parent of this child.
The problem here is the same with school officials beating kids... It's subjective what I and what a teacher deems acceptable to hit a kid for. Hence it is not allowed because IM THE PARENT. This is on the lines of parents rights of anything.
Also, is it illegal to swear at an officer in a private setting? Even if it is, the officer can take whatever is said how he wants to fit his story since the law is on his side.
Sticks and stones ehh old people? Yea... You just f***ing slap them because do as i say not as I do.

No, the issue is very obviously WHO is supposed to punish the kid.
If the mother hit the kid in that moment, I'd think nothing.
The officer hitting the kid makes me think he should be in jail, because he has no idea what is acceptable, and needs some punishment to learn.
Edit: It's also nearly a fact that hitting children, leads to them becoming more physically violent themselves as adults. It sure would be fun to hear you debase that, if you're posting up 'sides' here.
Maybe is his parents actually did their job they wouldn't have had to call police to do it for them...

'Spare the rod and spoil the child' is not what you would call new wisdom but it worked. Compare the common manners of the average person when that little ditty was penned to today.
