[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psycho.  3-year old boys can't test any sane person.

She should have locked herself in her bedroom until she could gain perspective.

Outside on a cold deck is incredibly poor judgement.

Did you read the article at all?  The boy is 10, not 3.  Please read before giving your knee jerk reaction, though I don't necessarily agree with what the mom did.[/quote]

Okay--but I have a 10- year old boy myself and I would never lock him outside of the house.  WTF![/quote]
PP here.  I did state that I didn't necessarily agree with what the mom did.  However, I live in a very safe neighborhood, with a fenced in yard, and gates that are locked.  My 10 yr old DS is in bed by 9pm, so there would almost never be a situation where he'd be up at 10:30 and me arguing with him.  BUT, if there was such a situation (like when we come home late from being out), and he were to argue with me about going to bed, back talking, giving me attitude, cursing at me,  and so I put him in the backyard if he wanted to stay out late, doors locked, for 10min to teach him a lesson, I don't see how that is abuse.[/quote]

That's weird to me.  We had to 'go to our room', etc.  but my parents never locked us out.  Christ- my brother probably would have called their bluff and left the yard/house at that age...[/quote]
