SJSinNYC- “People aren’t property.”
I know. That isnt what I meant though.
I mean that it is the parents responsibility to educate the child to behave in the right way. If the parent feels that in such a case its right to give a potch to the kid then the parent shouldnt feel afraid to do so afraid of what the child services might do because “you were potching the tush of the child who almost put his/her life in danger”.
I know people arent property, especially children. They are a gift from G-d and parents are instructed to raise them in the right way.
Sorry if you misunderstood me.
