Even though my basic human rights does not allow them to?

Discipline and abuse are two very different things, and any Officer will tell your parents they have the right to discipline you all day long. I agree with the other answerer, please list your basic human rights and the source you are pulling this info from. I am always interested in learning more about the "teenage victim" state of mind. It must be hard on you to have parents who care enough to try to keep you in line.

If you are a minor child and your behavior is unacceptable, you parents have the right to discipline you. That is called "parenting". You, on the other hand, have the right to behave appropriately, participate in the family, do what you know you are supposed to do, obey the rules set down by your parents, attend school everyday and do well, help out with chores around the house, be polite in actions and speech.
Your "human rights" are not being violated because your parents don't let you do what you want, when you want. Nor are they being violated when you are punished for bad behavior.
You are part of a family and everyone abides by the rules of that family....you have to also.

By him saying " any way possible" , could be taken either way and is not stating anything about your human rights. If however, he offers them suggestions that are against human rights then you have a legal stand.
My suggestion, stop causing chaos and start acting responsible. If the police are involved then your actions are serious (if not illegal) and you should accept any punishment and discipline. In the end the only person who is going to be hurt by this is you and no one else. Be thankful that your not in jail or in Juvenile Housing, be smart and turn your life around, before it's too late.

Yes ! If more parents would do this we would be far better off! As the father of three wonderful girls I can tell you it is not easy but it must be done for your sake as well as ours.Growing the girls had certain rules and knew quite well that there would be consequences if they did not fallow them.We demanded to know where they went and with who as well when we expected them home!There was no "hanging out". That is not an activity it is in-activity and can only lead to trouble! There was discipline in our house but there was freedoms as well! once they learned to be responsible and live with our rules they were able to come and go as they pleased As far as basic rights they are just that,basic! Your parents have all the say in what you do what you wear and who you spend time with,these are their rights as parents! Respect your parents and they will respect you!...

The only thing a Policer can do is judge at the time whether the person is in danger and if it is considered abuse at that moment. A police Officer has to report any and every case they are called on. If you or someone in your home calls and claims there is abuse going on in the home, the Officer has to report it. At this time it goes into the hands of someone elses hands to consider whether it is abuse or not. This is why alot of children do not get taken out of the abusive homes. Police Officers are not judges nor are they DCFS.

Yes they can. They told one of my kids this, after she assaulted me. She assaulted me, I pushed her off me and into a wall. She called the police. She wanted me arrested for domestic violence. It didn't happen. They told her I could punish her any way I wanted and the only reason they were there was to make sure she wasn't bleeding to death or anything. In short, the police are tired of obnoxious little punks who think they deserve the same rights as their parents, and think they should be able to act however they want, with no consequences. All your parents are required to provide you with is food, shelter and clothing. Those are the only basic human rights you have.

In Texas, parents have a right to discipline their children or delegate discipline to another. They can use any force up to, but not including deadly force, however the manor of discipline has to be relevant to what the child has done.
I have instructed and shown parents in the Texas Penal Code book exactly where it is written. The I have instructed the parent that if they want to they can spank their child in front of me if they wish. Next I instruct the child, that the Texas Penal Code does not state anywhere in it, that they can strike the parent back. So while I watch Mom or Dad spank you, if you strike back, I will charge you with assault.
Have a nice day.

Police officers have only the authority to enforce laws that they are allowed to enforce. The have a very very limited authority to interpret the law. Police officers are not attorneys or justices.
On a side note, police officers are not even required to do their jobs. They do not have to respond quickly to emergency calls; they do not have to enforce retraining orders; the U.S. Supreme Court has made several rulings to say that the police are not responsible for their lack of action.

No, by law, a parent cannot discipline you "any way possible". A parent cannot beat you with a belt or a closed fist, for instance (yes, it is law in certain states, look it up.)
If a police officer doesn't know this, then that police officer doesn't know the law he is supposedly "enforcing".
