In my opinion she was protecting them. She was only trying to keep them out of jail and that was the only way she could do it.  |

if it kept them from getting in trouble with the police that is great if she told the police that she couldnt handle them and mentioned she would do this shouldnt be punished.  |

Sounds like she lost complete control over her kids. If she cant handle them, she should let somebody else care for them.  |

Bratty kids....its their own fault for being such pains....but then again, she shouldve raised them better when they were younger. This is one of the reasons I dont think spankings (not beatings!) should be illegal. It's so hard for parents to set limitations for their kids when the kids arent scared of not being able to sit down for an hour or so.  |

In my opinion, if she would have been a good mother then she would have better control over them and wouldnt have needed to do that. Also I think she should be in jail for what she did cause thats plain out child abuse.  |

you don't have to be a bad parent for your children not to mind. i see this lady on her last rope, she had to do something to protect the boys. it seems like to me that if she told the authorities that she did not want them back at her house, they would have put them in a bootcamp, boys group home or something.  |

Lakeland, Florida is a town with a lot to do....Ha,ha...It is a suburbian, boring nightmare of a place.The teenage kids will do anything to get out and the adults will do everything to keep you there..Crazy  |

Hmmm....if it kept them outta trouble and maybe taught them a lesson.......THAT'S why you should start when they're young because they'll get worse and more outta control when they get older.

authorities wont allow spanking of children, and yet they wonder why today;s youth have so much lawlessness. |

Although I would never do that, I can see why those parents did it; If my kids were like that I'd be pretty angry & frustrated too.  |

There was no author found for #8212...so I assume this is something known to the majority of USMers that have been here for awhile? What does it mean? As for the wild teens, I don't know what to think. They are a little young to be out of control, aren't they? What if there was a fire or something, and the parents couldn't get to them to unlock their chains, in time? There would be no way for them to escape. What's the answer to her dilemma? I don't have any answers, but I can think of possibilities...like Juvie for awhile, or Scared Straight programs...getting an Advocate involved that could help them discover how they could get those teens under control...I see no link to be able to go get the full story...so, it's pretty hard to reply to this post. Thank you for sharing. Nani  |
