It's not that I think what she did was okay. I just expected her to be one type of person, the crazy, unhinged type, and then when I read her interview she sounded more thoughtful. For me, it meant that even a fairly reasonable person might be driven to some extremes by this type of thing. Anyway, at no point did I say that's all she should have to do after assaulting a minor is express regret. However, now that you've raised that issue, i guess I don't think she should go to jail for years and years or lose her children, either. Assaulting a minor, well, technically yes. [b]She put her hands around his neck. [/b]Bad, bad move. Yes, she should get some punishment for that - a hefty fine and some community service. But do you really take this woman to be a menace, like she needs to be removed from the street? Her frame of mind will be considered and the provocation of what happened to her daughter, which does not appear to be in any dispute, will be considered. No, it is not okay. Obviously the mother is saying that she should not have done what she did. However, she said that complaints about the bullying fell on deaf ears; that she was not able to get help from the system. All of this will be noted. And in my opinion, it DOES make a difference. This isn't just some mom randomly assaulting a child. She was defending her own child. Again, I do NOT agree it was okay, but I don't think it's the same thing as someone just beating up a defenseless little boy. Child abuse can mean anything from beating the hell out of a 3 year old (or worse) to slapping a 17 year old. Big difference between the two, although both are wrong. [/quote]

She did more than just [i]"put her hands around his neck"[/i].  The boy's mother decided to press charges when she found red marks on his neck.  To squeeze hard enough to leave red marks that would not have faded by the time he got home after being assaulted at the mall?  She grabbed him around the neck strong enough to bruise.  [b]Had this been a man, who had grabbed a girl around the neck hard enough to bruise, would ANYONE be making up excuses for why an adult who completely loses it enough to bruise a teenager should not be punished?[/b]

She's a violent criminal.  Sorry, but there is something wrong when an adult uses serious violence on a minor except in self-defense and at a minimum that person needs to have a record of criminal violence and should be restricted in their proximity to children.[/quote]

I don't know if a teenage girl who had been bullying and taunting another kid and said some of the despicable things this boy did would have many supporters if a dad did something similar. These kids need to be taught there are serious consequences for their actions. I'm sick of these shitty, entitled, privileged kids who go around doing their despicable deeds without any consequences.
