I read in Reader's Digest that 6 kids have DIED over the past 2 years at those bootcamps because they are regulated!  |

If the child is older than 14, and has been well known to social services, then yes, it should be mandatory. But, those gullible parents should be sent with them. 14 year-olds should have a sense of why things are wrong.. If they don't, the parents are probably the reason.  |

Really..The way I see this,is Every one of those children I have seen on these shows,I think it is the parent(s) who deserve to be punished. I watch in shock as a 12 year old child looks at his/her mother and loudly scream at her to "SHUT UP YOU BIT*H"..The mother gets tears in her eyes and look so pitiful,as she tells Sally that she is soo afraid of this child..She continues with "She beats on her 3 year old brother,kicks the dog, out half the night,she slept with 10 or more people, and to beat it all, a few older guys,she does drugs,drinks,etc..The mother tells what her daughter has done and I watch this daughter, "fly a finger, and yell vulgar things to the audience,etc...My blood begans to boil and I long to have a way to go through the TV, first after the mother,then after the child...I would love to tell the mother the way it is..I would love to be able to let that child know that we could do things two ways..Her way or mine!!..Her way would not be very advisable..She wouldn't need a boot camp after she experienced the sole of my boots..So..What I am saying is this..Many of those children we see on TV deserve better parents to begin with..Most of them were allowed from the beginning to get away with ordering their parents and calling them names. They got that way because of the lack of discipline. I would say that most of those parents need training camps to learn how to love and to discipline their children.  |

I think the parents should have to attend a "boot camp" sort of thing so they can learn to be better parents.  |

As long on the child is over 12 and has criminal history, I see nothing wrong with sending them to a 'boot camp' as long as it is strongly monitored. There are many boot camps that have been sued for hurting kids, starving them, etc. However, I think the parents should get training and consueling as well.  |

Parents, it is called tough love,I am going through it right now,and no I do not allow my son to talk back to me,or even say a curse word around my presents,you see when I tell him I am going to do something he knows better than, to call my bluff,because he always loses.I tell him my way or the highway,if he does not like my rules,we can put him away,he then realizes how easy he had it at home,but I don't back down,it hurts like hell,but I feel its for his own good,I really don't believe in the boot camps,there is so much better places for them to go that they can get the counselling they need,and if it still does not work,than its to bad for them and thier future does not look to bright,rather dark with cells....Tough Love it hurts but it works..  |

quite frankly...i know that bootcamp makes it worse a lot of the time...it brings more resentment into the relationship between parent and child...so personally...i would opt for a forced counseling solution...but maybe that's just me. -ArtemisOrthia-  |

i don't think it should be mandatory, because usually if the kids were raised right or with enough control to start with then there wouldn't be a problem. and even if cases where the parents have tried everything possible, it still shouldnt be mandatory unless like police officials are using that as punishment, or if thats what the parents feel is nessicary.  |

I was one of those kids your talking about. Boot camp wouldnt have did a thing for me, all I needed was love and once I got it, I was a changed person. I learned to love myself, thanks to my daughter. You wouldnt even believe half of the things I did. But I never harmed anybody else, just myself.  |

Yes, they should make it mandatory. My sister put ny nephew in a boot camp in Illinois. Did it work? No, the law there was the teen had to sign up on their own (through my sisters persuasion) and they can leave at any time. Needless to say, my nephew signed himself out shortly after 24 hours had passed. I don't know how many states have a law where minors are not allowed to stay in boot camp against their will, but they need to do away with that law. I say, make it mandatory and make it so the teens can't leave when they want to.  |

yes, yes, YES! Send those little monsters to boot camp! I have a cousin who's like what you describe and, ugh, I can't stand the little wench. She dresses like Britney, swears, talks back, and just acts like a litle you-know-what! I could just deck her sometimes! Seriously, thirteen year olds shouldn't be saying the naughtiest cuss words in the book. You know what words I'm thinking of, but I'm not going to mention them. I don't want to get the boot off this site. Isn't Maury a joy to watch?  |

noo.if parents cant do what makes you think the children will let someone else do it..from ages 1-10 the child will listen to basically anything the parents tell them and the upbringing of a child during these ages are the most sensitive..becasue after they start learning some facts of life..and they need parents to be there..and their values for them go on the right path then stray away...parenting is a fulltime job.....you have to give 100% of your time to them and believe me do not let things like work get in the middle becasue that part of a person's life is soemthing they never foprget and it will bite you in the back later..God Bless.
