12 yr old daughter hit on head with chunk of wood - Action?
Discussion
The '70s really were different, when I was 8 I fell off the climbing bars head first onto concrete and knocked myself out for maybe 30 seconds, pissed myself as well which didn't help, I was still made to go to the next lesson! I lasted about ten minutes before they called an ambulance, stayed overnight and released next morning, no concussion but I still have the lump on my head to this day.

How would you suggest to discipline a child that doesn't listen to you and does what they want?
Its a child, stop them going out, take away the xbox etc, withdraw a few luxuries and return them when the behaviour improves. Unless of course you're suggesting the Police go over and take parental responsibility for the kid or dish out a parenting lesson to mum?
I think the mother needs to step up if she's expecting the police to tip up and deal with her little cherub. I've told people that when I have attended jobs and been expected to whip an unruly child into line, I'm a police officer not the kids parent take some responsibility FFS.

Those suggestions are laughable if the child is really unruly.Unless of course you're suggesting the Police go over and take parental responsibility for the kid or dish out a parenting lesson to mum?

I know a few parents with unruly children.
One example
The kid never had any xboxes or mobiles as they were taken from them long ago so they weren't able to use that as a punishment anymore.
When they did lock the door to prevent their child getting out the child got a mug and launched it through the glass on the front door, climbed out then vanished for a few days to "teach their parents a lesson"
This was when he was 14. When his older brother tried to whip him into shape, physically the younger troublesome brother chased him down the street with a knife from the kitchen drawer.
He's about 22 now been in jail numerous times, been beat up numerous times by people he's pissed off and still behaves exactly the same.

So the parents let him climb out of the window and then let their other child try and sort him out?....now thats laughable.I know a few parents with unruly children.

If a kids chasing people with knives or smashing the place up of course the police should be called as its their duty to protect life and property, with the OPs example simply telling him to call the police us ridiculous and lazy.

They had called the police dozens of times. They took him into the cells to scare him but when the parents wanted to leave him in overnight the police threatened to charge them for not coming to pick him up.If a kids chasing people with knives or smashing the place up of course the police should be called as its their duty to protect life and property, with the OPs example simply telling him to call the police us ridiculous and lazy.
How do you propose you stop the child?
How do you propose they stop their other child interjecting?
I'm only using this example to say if the kid that threw the wood was anything like him, the parents wouldn't be able to discipline him because there's clearly a behavioral issues.
