Why not just add to the summoner guide thread?

NONE of you ever got taken to the bathroom and busted with a shoe? Well now I'm just embarrassed...

That sucks Z. And the only person who really gets affected in such a negative way, is the child. She should be investigated by child services.

Wasn't berating, just felt like you were berating instead other jobs equally useful.

She doesn't do it anymore. It was just that period after his death. It really upset me seeing that, and I don't know what happened behind closed doors. Whenever I would take him for a weekend to go goof around during that period he had reverted back to peeing himself. It was weird.

I had thought about it at the time, and even called my mother about it. She wasn't pleased. ***was weird a year ago.

I personally haven't, but I've had friends who would pull their kids aside to the restroom in public areas.

Yes Draco, that's the story I meant.

“He lifted his son up by the hair,” eye witness Deniz Cinkitas told the Aftonbladet newspaper following the incident.

While the Italian politician maintains that he never hit his son, eye witnesses told the court that Colasante grabbed the boy's hair, causing him to cry out in pain.

“Here in Italy, it's being portrayed like it wasn't anything serious, that it was just a little slap,” said Aftonbladet's Rome correspondent Åke Malm.

Feel better then man!

Swedish police can be really *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE at other times though. They were searching for a man who was somewhere near the house in the snow. The neighbor could hear him screaming when he called the police but they eventually gave up and the next day they found him only 15 meters from his house, having frozen to death.

In 1977, Swedish Parliament created a committee to examine children's rights. Before the new policy was official, they explained the ban in pamphlets translated into several languages and printed information about it on milk cartons.

The result was Chapter 6, Section 1 of the Swedish Children and Parents Code: "Children are entitled to care, security and a good upbringing. Children are to be treated with respect for their person and individuality and may not be subjected to corporal punishment or any other humiliating treatment." It passed almost unanimously.

The section carries no penalties -- assault cases are still governed by the criminal code, and the number of assault prosecutions hasn't increased, according to a report from the Swedish government and Save the Children Sweden. Instead, adults who hit a child can expect a swift response from Swedish social services, said Joan Durrant, a family social sciences professor at University of Manitoba.

"The police are not going to say, 'This parent should be charged,'" said Durrant, who has studied the effects of Sweden's ban for decades. "The police will say, 'What you did is not OK, I understand why it happened, but you need to know that's against the law, and here are the supports available to you.'"

Those supports might be access to parenting groups, child development information, children's health care or nurses that help childproof homes or offer advice.

It's a typically Swedish response, said Ian Swanson, who is now 31 and living in Minneapolis. His family was at least vaguely aware of the country's ban on physical punishment, but didn't immediately understand what the reaction to a spanking could be.

"It was very much a foreigner's thing. They sort of pitied my parents," Swanson said. "I remember being very afraid that I was going to be taken away. It seemed like a very real possibility. I felt some guilt about it. I was the one misbehaving -- if it weren't for me, they wouldn't be here."

But he also remembers understanding and agreeing with the Swedes' assessment: If parents are hitting, it means they've lost control, and might need to learn about other options.

"[Parents] couldn't understand how someone had the gall -- 'Who in the world can come in and tell me how I'm supposed to raise my child?'" he said. "That's a very American idea. In Sweden, that would not be asked. It's everybody's responsibility."

My parents and grandparents would all play it on shame, making you feel really guilty for you did, like "that's the kind of thing that horrible people do...so, are you a horrible person?", etc. I dunno if better or worse, but my dad never once even raised his voice on me and I fear his judgment A LOT.
