[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All internet ridicule aside, let he without sin and so forth. I've made my 9 year old sit outside in bitter cold weather for a time out when he was about to bring everyone in the house to their knees with fear and anguish. Some might consider that abuse.

He's 9, not 2. 
He was outside your house, not strapped into a parked car out of your site.
He was not strapped to anything: he had hTe ability, and the common sense , to move if danger came.
You probably limited the outside time to less than an hour.[/quote]

It was @ 10 minutes. He as wearing a sweat shirt and jeans, it was @ 30F. But I wonder if someone passing by our house that night had seen him out there crying and called the police, I'm not sure they would seen this as reasonable punishment.[/quote]

So this was your version of a time out for a 9 yr old?!?  Lame.

The 3 and 1 yr old in this case haven't done anything to deserve being left in a cold car for at least an hour and the parents left them there to attend a wine tasting.[/quote]

Why is my time out lame? They say you should do around 1 minute per year of life. What should I have done when he was threatening everyone in the house verbally and  refusing to listen to reason?[/quote]
This thread is not about your 9 year old and his time outs.[/quote]
