Hi, Guest
It's actually, very sadly, the legal system in some ways that plays a decent-szied part in all this. Punishment of children is now all but removed from the parents' scope of capabilities.
Spank your kid? Go to jail if the kid or a family member/friend tells Children's Aid. deny them supper for an hour? Same scenario.
Ground them from the Internet? Get ready for dreamed-up stories of punishment and beatings. X-Box? Same.
It's gone. the disciplinary actions of parents have been replaced with harsh words at best, and even those will have you at the receiving end of a mental abuse lawsuit.
Pick them up when they run away? Forcible confinement charges, especially if within the grey area of 16-17.
Parents are the problem, but the problem was brought on by civil liberties and political correctness / human sensitivities "gurus".
Supersize Me is a great eye-opener, but it's not the fix-it solution. Actually, those reality talk shows like Maury and crap are just as much of an eye-opener. I saw one during the day once that was dedicated to "Moms who feed their kids to keep them quiet". Done. They all saw no problem with having obese babies, so long as said babies were quiet.
