Of course I think more than one reason play a role in children being at a place where police are even in the schools let alone handling children. However, I also feel that as the environment changes, people need to learn how to deal with that. If we are going to have police govern our children then they need to be taught how to handle them as children. I never understood how you put someone in the schools that was taught how to deal with criminals and expect them to deal with our children like they're children. The system is broken.

I imagine the only way to keep everyone safe is to open the lines of communication more and get all sides involved.

This is just the sort of conversation I feel is missing in homes, in schools, in communities in general. I am so happy to your share on how you handled and spoke up for your little one. Everything starts at home and the more we talk about these issues the better we all can be. Thank you so much for stopping by hope to see you here again, I can't wait to share your response with my daughter. Be well :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431847084321147125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298420976025938487.post-16767379501387590732015-10-29T10:32:23.622-04:002015-10-29T10:32:23.622-04:00Mari, you've touched on a subject that has had...<br />Mari, you've touched on a subject that has had me bend out of shape for some time. Thank you for addressing it so eloquently.<br /><br />I agree that any and everyone given a position of authority over our children, and anyone given the sacred gift of educating our children, and or the privilege of becoming a part of a "village," MUST be held accountable. <br /><br />Children are not inanimate objects. As our children learn who they are and define who they want to be. There will be conflict. Especially during that pubescent, erratic hormonal stage. We must remember that their journey to independence, independent thinking and individuality requires pushing boundaries. How can we cultivate the leaders of tomorrow if we don't promote the questions, the rebellions, the going against the status quo, today? <br /><br />That doesn't mean I condone disrespectful behavior. I too taught my children to advocate for themselves, as soon as they were able to express themselves. I taught them the right to say NO and defend their personal space. I battled many a relative over trying to manhandle my infant child; when my baby clearly did not want to be held, kissed, or in any way engage with said relative. I've never promoted or supported the idea that little human beings have no rights or voice? Not happening, not on my watch. Not within my family, and definitely not happening amongst strangers. First and foremost I was and continue to be a Protector and Defender of all children, especially my own. <br /><br />For the most part and for survival infants, children, and adolescence tend to be selfish, self absorbed entities who want immediate gratification. They can't be held accountable if they aren't taught empathy, compassion, or the basic rules of engagement in polite society. The problem lays with people forgetting that lessons of respect, and common courtesy, must start from day one. NOT at 13 or 16 years of age. <br /><br />In my home, from day one in addition to lessons of empowerment; <br />I drilled into my children the lesson that it was my responsibility to prepare them for life/society, and if the day ever dawned that they became a pariah - hell bend on destructive antisocial behavior; (which to me is vastly different from having an opinion or standing for a cause,) it would be my responsibility as their parent to correct the imbalanceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191113082113626716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298420976025938487.post-64093417770630181432015-10-28T17:26:58.675-04:002015-10-28T17:26:58.675-04:00Yeah let's not play the race card this would b...Yeah let's not play the race card this would be a book being that I'm African American instead I agree DO NOT TOUCH MY SON OR DAUGHTER especially in a non violent confrontation and these most recent cases the men slamming and dragging young girls around is atrocious.
