Ouch...yeah, I bet that did hurt. When I was a
younger kid (early elementary school) we road all over the neighborhood.
I lived in Prattville, AL which at that time was about the size of Daytona
Beach, maybe a little smaller. But the road in front of my house was off
limits. Because it was was a major access road and well
traveled.
But when I was an older kid (pre-teen/teenager) we
had moved to Florida out in the woods. Our street wasn't even paved, so
when it would rain we would get on the bikes and slip and slide all over the
place. I tumbled off more times than I can count.
I remember when I first got a bike with hand brakes I
was was coming down off a clay mound just as fast as I could go and grabbed
the wrong brake. The bike stopped, I didn't.
I remember another time I was riding on the
handlebars of a bike. I knew I wasn't supposed to do that, but was doing
it anyway. Got my ankle caught in the spokes, and took both of us
down. Talking about something that hurt! Once they decided my
ankle wasn't broken the parental units broke my butt for riding on the
handlebars!

I remember accidentally hitting the front brake instead of the
back brake
after completing a jump .... I ended up "ass over tea kettle"
that hurt like
a bitch too.... We weren't doing that near a road... we
needed a *much*
better hill for that... <G>

I am sorry
people....but there has to be a difference between jumping your bike near a
road, where you might get your
ass run over, and jumping where you
couldn't get run over if you tried. We are talking about the kid that ended
up in
the road...not anybody elses kid.... not any other situation.... I
am not taking a side here because I think that both
*original* positions
had merit. I think that there is more to the squabble than that and I am
getting a little tired of it.

Ok, lets see. Kid punches another

situation we ahve a kid whos minding his own buisness, not purposely trying
to hurt anyone and as a result of that gets hit by a car. No different than
if for some reason he got excited, runs out in the middle of the road and
gets hit by a car. I think that pretty much is going to show him, regardless
of age, well I cant do
that.

But what does that teach a child....how do
they learn lessons about life. If they don't learn these lessons when they
are young, then they grow up not always knowing the right thing to do and
they are the same ones that grow up and sue e'one over something that just
takes a little common sense. Ok, I get the point, you don't think they
should be punished for an accident. I don't agree with that. I've seen kids
that don't get punished for anything like that.....they are also the kids I
don't like b/c in my own personal experience, those are the kids that as
they get older, think they can get away with anything if they didn't do it
on purpose.

So a
kid can do anything accidentally, no matter how bad it is and not be

something that hurts themselves or someone else and I punish them for
it.

you wanna see my
arms and see the scars from punishments that were dished out to me for
accidents? you think that made me less clumsy?
nope it still all comes down to intent. and if a
child didnt intend it then to punish them is
wrong
