When my grandson was about 12 I threanened him with a spanking for some infraction ( can`t remember what now) and he said he would turn me in for child abuse !! I grabbed his arm and wore his butt out, then turned him loose and said, go call them !! Thats the last I heard about child abuse from him !! Also had a run in with a lady in front of me at Burger King,, Had two kids fighting in the seat of a small Nissan PU, I raised my hand and threatened to put them out and make them walk rest of the way home, 1/2 mile, Lady saw me and got out of her vehicle at the drive through window, came back and said she would call the sherriff !! I told her the best thing she could do was get back in her car and mind her own business !! ( I used to babysit the sherriffs kids) and he was a good friend !! I went home and called him myself,, told him what happened,, he said I guess she would have liked it better if you had a wreck from those two fighting !!

Yes, parents live in fear of their children these days. It's sad. I'm only 26 and have no kids yet, but if I do have them they'll know discipline and personal accountability, that's for sure. I weep for the future :/
For your entertainment, there was a sticker on it for $26.99 and it sold for $17.50 with 10% auction premium. Not a good deal. I am interested in real American products not fake chinesse replicas. Thanks everyone for their help.
