Yay for giving your child a criminal record that he/she now has to report on job applications. Parenting should not damage your child in the process. Besides, I don't want my tax dollars paying the police to deal with people's parenting issues rather than rounding up rapists and murderers.
he's a minor...it's not on his record
I agree about the waste of resources though
Except if he really does have ADHD, that simply isn't going to work.It's about instilling values into the kids with negative reinforcement.

Yeah, the problem is you have no impulse control among other things. Its like telling someone with Tourettes to stop ticking.You can have values and ADHD at the same time.
It's about instilling values into the kids with negative reinforcement. If the parents can't do it, spending a little time with the cops would surely do it.
Better discipline him early while he's still impressionable or he will be wasting tax payers money later on in life mooching off the system while sitting in jail.

I have to agree with Thorn, I'm impressed with this mom. The things she is trying aren't working, so she's finding something that will. So many parents now a days won't take responsibility for their kids and won't admit to anybody that they are acting unacceptibally (spelling?) that it's nice to see someone who is doing something about it.
I have a standing policy for my kids when they get older: Don't hit them with objects or fists. Other than that the sky is limit. Headbutting, elbows to the eye socket, kneeing, kicking, headstomping, one day I'll use them all.
Just kidding...mostly.
I do plan on having a section of un-grassed dirt in my back yard that my kids will dig holes in as a form of punishment. The most serious punishment being to dig a hole as wide as the shovel and as deep as the shovel, then filling it back in.
If he truly has ADHD and meds don't work, sending him to jail does nothing other than waste taxpayer money.

Edit : this is assuming he really has it. It does get over diagnosed and this kid just may be a douche.
And I think you have no idea what you're talking about. The name for type 2 ADHD is "hyperactive-implusive". According the the NIMH, this includes :No impulse control? I think that stretches the condition too far. .
No impulse control? I think that stretches the condition too far.
And I think you have no idea what you're talking about. The name for type 2 ADHD is "hyperactive-implusive". According the the NIMH, this includes :
"Impulsive children seem unable to curb their immediate reactions or think before they act. They will often blurt out inappropriate comments, display their emotions without restraint, and act without regard for the later consequences of their conduct. Their impulsivity may make it hard for them to wait for things they want or to take their turn in games. They may grab a toy from another child or hit when they're upset. Even as teenagers or adults, they may impulsively choose to do things that have an immediate but small payoff rather than engage in activities that may take more effort yet provide much greater but delayed rewards."
Its not a matter of knowing right or wrong, its a matter of having no way of controlling yourself. I roomed with a guy in college that had it. I probably would be skeptical as well if I hadn't experienced it first hand. The only thing I can compare it to is watching someone with Tourettes. 1 in 10 people with ADHD aren't helped by drugs at all, so its not impossible either that scripts didn't curb him.
Once again, this is assuming he really does have it. If he does and this is how the mom handles it, she's just a terrible mother. If he doesn't have it, the kid is a douchebag.
No impulse control? I think that stretches the condition too far.
In my jaded core, I like this because it will teach him that cops are a necessary evil, sometimes useful for real problems but mostly just meddling needlessly and causing problems.

He's been going through life doing things ... and getting away with it."
are you kidding me? she called the cops because she wasn't doing the right thing.
You can have values and ADHD at the same time.
You guys ever go to the grocery store and sometimes they have these jars for kids with all manner of diseases and you read on the jar about their lives and it's like one big sad story and then you think "I don't have time for this, the Jews have Bubbles, we've gotta get her out of there!"
