Living in the world we do today, with the kids being the way they are today, I will *never* scold a parent for doing what it takes, in their mind, to keep their children out of jail/dead on the streets. Too many are headed that way as it is. I'm only 33, and I shouldn't be saying this, but kids today, oh, man, are they in for a rude awakening. (Of course, I draw the line at any physical abuse.
