Heres an idea, since there are sooo many neglectful parents in this country and twice as many unruly children... why not put into effect a law mandating that any child under say... 8 yrs of age has to have a leash and collar on at all times in public.. preferably a choke chain and with the law stating that the leash be no longer than 4 ft in length. I think this is a brilliant idea.
The parents who would oppose such laws are probobly the same ones letting thier kids run into you with their shopping carts, yell at the top of their lungs in a bank, and sit on the hood of cars that belong to complete strangers.
I understand that you shouldnt punish the masses for the mistakes of the few... but these days, out of control, undisciplined, screaming hell children are the majority! If our government would only take a China like approach and limit the amount of kids to 1 per couple... I think much of the problem would resolve itself.
Mandatory spaying and nuutering for people who already have 1 kid and prison time for people that get pregnant while they are on welfare would also be genius ideas that I would like to see in effect. What to do with the excess kiddie population, whos parents are in jail for having them?... Send them to special camps where we raise them to be military drones for life.. of course!!
