For your first example, see post #4.
I just found this link in another thread - a pair of elderly people vandalized a mural painted by children.
No, he took the money from the disaster relief fund (then the state had massive flooding from a hurricane in the east and wildfires in the west).
Not nordic. Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Northern Italy, according to Wikipedia. As a swede I had no idea what Krampus was until I googled it just now. FWIW.
The song always reminds me about the time when I was six or seven and my father came into my room in the middle of the night, demanding to know why I had been in his room, then beat the living shit out of me because I said – honestly – that I hadn’t. He kept up the beating until I could manufacture some reason which would satisfy him.
People who went to bed as children without being afraid of being killed by a parent just don’t understand what that does to you.
Or bringing home 3.9 GPA report cards and getting beat up for “thinking your too smart” for showing up the ol’ man.
Or being locked out of the house on a winter night for whatever the reason.
But all of that was actual abuse, so that’s not what the OP asked for.
Here’s a case where a seven-year-old adopted child from Russia was sent back – alone – on an airplane with a note that the parents couldn’t handle him anymore.
Ignorance fought. Thank you.
I do hope my sarcasm was coming through there? I’m pretty sure the alcoholism and suicide rates there are actually substantially lower than here.
Yes, but that’s a crime.
**HeyHomie **can decide whether or not he’d like to use it, but I wouldn’t count that as a crime against the kids, which is what the OP seemed to be specifically excluding.
That is not mean, it is training them to follow directions. Only mean unless counted as a real grade.
I used it on classes of young adults who thought they knew everything, even more about the subject than the teacher. Very hard to teach to theses types until you can get their attention, IMO.
:smack: 
The victims were the kids who painted the mural.
The flagellation ritutal of some of the Twelver Shia does not focus on adults cuttig children, it is in fact focused on the adult. The idea of it focuses on the children is a gross distortion (indeed even for the adults it is not regarded positively, the Iran has banned even, the idea of cutting children is even more deviant).
And it is not to celebrate, it is to mourn the martyrdom in their view.
as a lesson, to trust the Daily Mail for any source of factual information is to commit an error.
It is banned by many twelver shia clerics, as in the Iran, even the adults practicing the self flagellation, as a folk superstition.
The victim was the owner of the property who asked the kids to paint the mural. No crime, such as abuse or murder, was committed against the children.
As a lesson, it is reality however much you wish it weren’t, and as another lesson, using the “it’s the Daily Mail” fallacy is, well, a fallacy. Reality is reality, despite your protestations to the contrary. Do yourself a favor and google it. It isn’t covered exclusively by the Mail.
Then provide said citations. There is no fallacy in saying the source you gave is bad. Don’t use bad sources.
Why do you believe you have the authority to determine what sources are bad?
Humiliating them in public. Nobody deserves that. Even if t hey misbehave in the supermarket, there is no reason to use their shame as an attention-getter to yourself
When I see parents doing that, it tells me a lot more about the parents, than about their kids.
Even worse, when parents humiliate their kids who have done nothing wrong, just in order to attract attention to themselves lording it over the tykes.
Obviously, kids are kids, and there are going to be situations where a kid out of control calls for a difficult judgment call. But in that case, the burden is on the parent to be the one to use good judgment.
I provided a perfectly good source. the Mail might be a tabloid, but their coverage can be quite comprehensive, too. Learn to read critically. Dismissing information based on the source without evaluating it is no different than attacking the poster instead of the argument.
yeah, even Gawker occasionally got one right.
this is the one I came into the thread to post. An incredibly sad case all around, this happened quite near me.
Ugh. At the zoo, walking across a bridge over a stream.
Little boy…4 or so…says “Look Gramma, turtles!!”
“Oh there are not. Stop making things up.”
I look down…green turtles sitting on a log in the river.
I could just feel his little spirit break. Beautiful, neat sight of some turtles. He just wanted to share his excitement, and that’s what he got in return.
Definitely one of those times I wish i had said/done something.
