Children's rights are held in proxy by their parents until they reach the age of majority. Parents exercise these rights on behalf of their children. If ANYONE strikes a child without explicit parental permission, they are committing assault on a minor and should be vigorously prosecuted.
If the state fails to punish the perpetrator, the parents will take that job upon themselves, if they have any spine at all. Schoolyard scraps are one thing. Adults striking a child are quite another. Woe be to the fool who so much as touches my child without my permission. One would do better taunting wild bears.
PARENTS HAVE RIGHTS!!! Government schools may NOT violate PARENTAL RIGHTS by laying hands on their children.
Everyone has the basic right to be secure in their person. Free from physical attack by any other person. If you don't understand that you don't understand much.
Kids need to do what they ar told plain and simple! There is no room for argument or discussion.
Good, I'll have your kids working in my yard this weekend and if they stop for even a moment I'll kick the crap out of them. Hey, it's with your permission.
Just do what you are told or face the consequences, and with pansy ass punishment like time out, there are virtually no consequences.
If a government employee puts a hand on my child they will receive a permanent time out.
