What if this was your kid?

OH MY DAMN!!! I WOULD BE UP AND DOWN THAT CHILD REPEATEDLY!!! and did you hear what he thought his punishment should be?? No video games for a week!! OH HELL NO!! I would've lost my damn mind on my kids if it'd been them!!!

He would get a behind whopping...then it would be more than just a weekend without videogames...try months and months.

Oh, my God! can i ask a question, excepte the grandmather need pay the money, is thear still have some punishments do for parents?

I do not think whipping is going to much bother him as he has probably built up an immunity to beatings like that as belligerent as he sounds. we always want to beat on a wrong doing kid but what the heck does beating do? most killers and criminals were severely beaten as kids and look what happened to them. beatings begets wife beaters and more kid beaters and were does it end. No he shoud have to work his little behind off to pay for all that damage even if it takes him several years. hewill learn the consequences of doing something bad.

If that was my child they would be punished, and id not pay for it neither they could forgoe all pocket money until it was paid off id make certain they didnt do anything like it again at 7 they are old enough to know what they did and accept the punishment!

I would do what the grandmother said and whip his behind. He could have killed someone. And the bad thing is it doesn't seem like he feels he did anything wrong or that he is sorry. He will probably do it again.
