[quote=Anonymous]Is it a crime? I have no idea. Should it be? I don't think so. I think parents have a right to figure out what works for their particular kids. I read (or saw on the news) and article about a mom who was sick of her 13 year old coming home long after curfew, so she decided to leave a sleeping bag on the deck and lock the door and go to bed. I think this is totally appropriate. She was also charged with a crime. What kind of a signal does this send kids -- your parents have no right to enforce a curfew (or whatever family rule is set)? Absurd. Let parents do the parenting and keep courts out of it unless it is truly harming the child. Shivering is hardly an indication of "pain" or "abuse" as others have stated. One of my kids shivers in the swimming pool to the point that others start gently suggesting to me he get out, but he doesn't want to get out.....[/quote]
