[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's abuse even if the weather was not a factor. It was late at night, and dark outside. Throwing your child outside under any condition is abuse. The child is going to be scared. What if he decides to jump off deck? what if he gets attacked by a raccoon, or a bad guy? Trauma can by inflicted by the fear alone. It is pure abuse. Children can be given time out but it has to be under very safe conditions.[/quote] ??? Raccoon attacks? A ten year old not having enough sense not to jump off a deck? Dramatic much? Kids are outside all the time in 41 degree weather. I personally would not choose that punishment but how is it child abuse? And where do you live that you worry about roving bands of raccoons attacking somone on their deck at night? Neighbor is a bit nosey and should have walked over and talked to her neighbor or the kid instead of calling the police as her first reaction. Way to ruin the kids and the family's lives over nosiness.[/quote]
