no it isnt, they are born to us but still remain individuals and since you have mentioned it was a teenage child, let me tell you this woman is asking for trouble, he/she wont take it for too long, the child will either retaliate or leave - she will be so sorry then.

Well did it work? did the kid do what her mother was telling her to do or was it all talk like the most of the parents do now days.?
The parents today do not control there children.. atleast this woman was trying to. you didn't say what she was threating with or what she was saying so no one can tell if it was bad or not.. Weather it seem violent to you or not. maybe that was the only way to get the childs attention.. Think about it .. atleast she was tryiing something where the rest sit back and do nothing at all and wonder why there children are going to school and shooting people going out and getting pregnant and doing drugs and all the other crap the kids are doing today.. don't criticize what you don't know what was going on..? or explain more clearly what was happening

You only heard and witnessed part of the situation, i really dont think it was any of your business to get involved in the situation full stop, im glad you didnt.....there are two sides to every story, and you dont know what the child did in the first place, for them to be threatend, unless you have heard and been involved in both sides, then dont involve yourself, you are less likely to wind up in trouble yourself then.

By the way - just a point - adults are still adults as they are over 18, and although they have a responsibility to keep a child safe and do the right thing by them.....children/teens (anyone under the age of 18), need to remember that if they disrespect their parents, then parents ought to have the right to defend themselves, and punish as they see fit (not abuse), they are after all the ones that raised you, feed you clothed you, held you when you were sick or close to death.....and above all no one in this world will love you quite the way they do, so how about a little respect for them huh, think about it, the only reason they grounded you, or told you couldnt do something or have something, there are reasons why they say these things...its not to be mean, but to provide for you in other ways, and so when you disrespect, it cuts them to the core. You want respect yourselves...then earn it, dont instantly think you deserve it.

do you realized that if we don't change the way we raise our children our furture is doom
We don't need to abuse them Physically or Mentally but sometimes we do need to treating them
I know some of my sons friend will come to my house and tell my sons what their parents say they will do to them and the laughing about it
just because you heard that it does not mean that they will do it
Do you know I treat my children that I would beat them
but do you know although I beleive in spanking my children
punishment have always been no computer or games for a certain time and now I got a good one their father house
but again I scream a lot and they are very good at doing what I want

Not to that extent. I threaten mine, but my kids laugh at me cause I am all talk. Some people are just lousy parents who were raised like that and think it is ok to do it to their kids. They have no idea what it will do to them in the future. Sure, the kid will hate them for it, but sometimes, you have those kids who only respond to threats.

Yeah, but what did this little teenager DO? You don't know. For all you know, you might have just missed him smack his mamma or call her a *****. I would've personally not threatened mine in that case, I would've smacked the taste out their mouth. Then you would have had plenty to gawk and be hurt over.

Kid probably deserved it. Have you stopped to notice how many out of control brats there are in the world today? Maybe if more people kept their kids in check this wouldn't happen.

No it's never okay. This is when you take a deep breath and actually go over and be brave and say " is there anything I can do to help you out, you seem ver stressed." You may get a negative result but you also may have prevented the teen from getting abused. I know from experience. I've stepped in and sometimes it was welcome and others were not so grateful. Just know that you're trying to help.

I think teenagers are very sensitive and threatening is the last thing that works with them, it is the most difficult age.

Today it's not. When I was a kid, I used to see this behavior allll the time.
