My bible say when you Sapare the rod u spoil the child, and the Police says when u use the rod u mistreating your child, But if you dont use the rod sometime by th time you child reach adults, the Police have them in Prison. Parents have to know how to handle theri children, because if u dont rule them today they sure will rulel u tomorrow, and that is a fact.

#1 we try to teach our children who to trust, please don’t make the police the bad guys, When this child gets a little bit older she might not seek help from the police and could get hurt.

But on the other hand what to do with a child who acts up? The parents might have called and talked to someone at the police department and ask for help.

The police officers where all wrong in arresting the parents. Show me where this child was endangered. The cops knew the mother was just trying to make this child behave, Where is abandonment ? I SEE A LAW SUIT HERE BIG TIME.

Maybe since the child saw her parents get arrested she will realize it could happen to her or what would happen if mom and dad stay in jail.

Parents get in touch with Super Nanny.

Okay, so when she is older and is arrested for murder; remember her parents tried to do the right thing when she was 6. This is so far beyond stupid I can’t believe it. Now if these parents didn’t give a sh!t about their kid they would let her run a muck. “Lord, please grant me the ability to bottle common sense. Amen”

When I was six years old, my mother brought me to a store and I was putting things in my pocket, not realizing that I was “stealing”. When we got home, my mother found all the stuff I put in my pocket and told me we were going for a ride. She had called the store ahead of time and they had a policeman standing there when we arrived. He told me that if I ever did anything like that again, I would go to jail and not see my mom & dad for a long time. Needless to say, it made a very good impression on me and I never stole anything again. So maybe the parents weren’t so bad. Hey…it worked for me.

There’s no such thing as bad children….only bad parenting.

I have an ex-friend who used to pretend to call the police to come pick up her son when he was 6-7 yrs old. He would beg her and tell her he would be good. It was horrible. I called her on it then eventually just stayed away. It was completely poor parenting on her part. He ended up in lots of trouble and was stabbed to death at age 18.

A Mom

Get your Bible read what it says about raising children and put it in practice for your life and your child’s life so when he/she becomes a teen he/she will a become productive member of this society not in jail

sounds like they were arrested because they are spanish

The police are not there to “scare” your kid. Stop involving the police in your pathetic lives. It’s your kid, and your problem, not the cops.

I think the parents intentions were good, but i would’ve chosen counceling.

These parents need to sue the NYPD. They did not do anything wrong at all.

Police Commisioner Ray Kelly needs to fire these rouge cops at once.

i have a 7 year old, and i’ve been where these parents have been, my child has a very bad temper and misbehaves alot, i also have a 4 year old who is a saint, so children being bad is not all on the parents and their parenting, i raise my kids to be repsectful and sometimes no matter what you tell them at that age, they think on their own and do what they want to see if they can get away with it, i have also told my child many times when she was bad that if she didnt stop misbehaving i was gonna call the police, and ive also had the thought in my head to do the same, wondering if the police would help if i was to bring her to the station, now i know it wouldnt, i love my kids and i am an excellent mother, but kids these days once they are in school, come home with such attitudes and they learn so much “bad” from school, and then they bring it home, i think the police should have helped those people, not arrested them

It may not have been “smart” parenting, but it sure wasn’t a criminal act. The nanny state police appear to have over-reacted… again.

I love pigs especially when they become pork.

jer is a pig trying to put lipstick on himself
the couple was stupid to think that pigs are friends – and the pigs proved it

lets face it pigs are not the brightest bulbs (average iq is 92)

everybody keep your attention on this case or they will get railroaded

now you want to see some real corruption at work watch the judge

Another outstanding ‘mother of the year’ nominee.
From what i understand teaching your (6 year old) kid to behave is the responsibility of the parent?
Nice…thought Mommy….unfortunately if something ever happen to your kid in the future someone would have dug up that ‘Precinct Speech’ and blamed NYC for not doing anything.

Bull is right, parents walk in ask police this where bad people go to,captain stupid should have yes,and explain it the six year old, not arrest the loving parents.

Wow to me it is nutz these parents r trying to keep there kid from one day ending up in jail.. I can not believe these cops did what they did. There r so many parents that don’t care n let there kids do what ever n these kids r who the cops end up arrresting they should b happyyyy that there r still some parents that care.. wow honestly this is y so many ppl hate cops cause a lot of them think they are god.. only in New York maybe that’s why NY has such a high crime rate that the cops can not controll….

that’s extremely community-destroying response on behalf of the police. these people’s behavior did not merit arrest but maybe some short counseling and encouragement and connection to local services that could help them feel more skillful as parents. instead they created a whole debacle. a mountain out of a molehill. terrible! that family is going to be scarred for life, meanwhile– the police could have turned it into an opportunity to plant seeds of empowerment and familial peace. someone’s head should roll because of this.

What Nimrods-They should have taken the child to Gracie Mansion
Where the Real “BOOGy-Man Lives!!

They should not have been arrested. The parents were acting in good faith. I would dare say that they are good parents.

You what is amazing is that these child psychololgist always seem to have the perfect answer for responses to child misbehavior but in most cases they don’t have children. Further, I think that the parents in this case were doing what they felt would be a good lesson for this child. All children aren’t the same and waiting until this 6 year old is an out-of-control teenager to scare her straight is too late. Its apparent that this parents love their child and are taking measures to correct her behavior before she becomes too uncontrolable. Those officers who felt that they needed to be arrested were out of line.

agreed!!

This is bull. The cops will shoot your kid when they have to. Making a kid fear prison is good. The problem is our society doesn’t fear or know God or Jesus. We are to worried about offending others these days. The cops could have figured out something. Parents are always wrong for spanking but you will gladly watch them sell drugs and get killed since they fear nothing. You people are stupid God says spanking is fine. You are all confussed and dont know what is right and wrong anymore. Jesus is the answer. You are all okay with the fact God isnt welcome in schools and children without any dicipline. America is sad sad sad!!!

Parents need to STOP trying to scare or correct their children by the use of the Police. This could be one reason a lot of people do not like the police. If you use them to scare your child, don’t you think they may grow up with very little respect for the ones you used to scare your kids? Think about it people, the POLICE are there to help people, not to scare them.
Whast stupid parents they are,
