You’re right, and this is where teaching the child respect comes in.  Children need taught from a young age, and nowadays too many parents aren’t doing it.  They expect the teachers, and others around the child to do it.

It’s a shame, and I too miss those good old days.

Florida allows for corporal punishment which means you can spank your child in order to discipline them.  You can not however, leave welts or bruises.  The problem with our society is everybody has someone else to blame for their irresponsible behavior and mistakes.  If people would take responsiblilty for theirselves and instill that into their children, our society would be a better placed.  DCF is not going to come out and have you arrested unless you ABUSE your children!!!

I would like to say two things. First, I hope that things went well for the young man who is having problems following the rules.
Second, related to this comment. I would like to see a DCF topic.
