[quote=Anonymous]http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Police-Teacher-Locked-Son-Out-of-House-in-Cold-as-Punishment-375101541.html What do you think? It appears that it was about 41 degrees at the time. The story doesn't indicate how long the child was out there. I can see it being a problem if it was for an extended time (i.e. maybe more than 20-30 min.), but is this really a "crime" if it was for 15 min. or less? It was later at night and I get that the kid wasn't happy about it.... but we're not talking about a 3 yr. old who can't process this or who could get hurt. It seems like overkill to me. People can hit their kids and it's just "disciplining the kid" -- but putting your kid out for some time out is a felony? What do you think?[/quote]
