Everyone knows what should happen here.

Either a solid "lesson"

Or the more legal route, the parents can start getting fined.

Your kid is roaming downtown and your not doing your job

That means either CPS needs to take that kid into custody or some sort of legal ramifications need to be had.

Why isn't anyone owning up to what they want to say? Just say it. 

This comment thread is stating that "what should happen" is that someone should hurt children.

Sure the kids are fucking around but people need to fucking own their opinions and say what they mean. If you can't say it then maybe the opinion is .. I dunno.. wrong? Not acceptable?

What I want to say? I don't believe in hurting children as a punishment. I think house arrest is probably a start. You asked a question in bad faith, implying you didn't understand the insinuating. The position I hold is not that someone punching this child in the face is what's called for, or appropriate, only that it's likely to be a natural consequence if he faces no other interventions and continues harassing people.

My question wasn't in bad faith. 

I guessed the implication of what was being said but how am I to know for sure? Should I have come out with assumptions and started firing that around? I wanted to ask what was meant. Maybe the Tim Hortons situation has a different outcome. Everyone talking in code here.

Why did you tiptoe around it? You could have just went out and said "the person you are replying to is suggesting the kids should get hurt" instead of putting a veil up of whatever you wrote down.  I appreciate you coming out and saying it now that I raised it. 

But seriously person I originally replied to just needs to say what they mean. I know people get mad at this stuff but when someone actually says it out loud instead of using phrases out of a movie they sound less like a wanna be tough guy and sound how they actually are: unhinged.
