this is what they were arrested for although the kid makes other claims as well.
lets talk about what punishments are acceptable to you and shouldnt be a crime.

A Florida mother and a father are in jail after they allegedly forced their daughter to run laps with nothing to drink and made her stand on one leg for two hours as punishment, officials said.
I think endangering the lives of children should be a very serious crime no matter what rhetoric you try to hide it behind but apparently that makes me a fascist.

It's like when Bubba makes you run laps around the prison block after(before?) he romances you while making you stand on one leg. Or something like that.

The meaning of youth, and the process of growing up, have changed in important ways over the past hundred years or so. Full-time education now continues for much longer, and entry into employment happens much later. So for a lengthy period of their lives—up to the age of 22 in many cases—young people spend most of their time in the company of other young people rather than in mixed age groups. That age segregation is closely connected with the ‘birth of the teenager’ in the 1950s, a race apart, with distinctive dress, language, music, and institutionalised rebellion. With the vast increase of education and travel, and the growth of the mass media, the horizons of expectation of young people have widened, but inevitably new expectations often cannot be fulfilled. Young people remain financially dependent for longer, but are increasingly expected to define their individuality through consumer goods. Where decisions were once taken out of their hands by moral commands, they are now expected to make personal choices at an earlier and earlier age: choices which can have life and death consequences for themselves and others. Sexual experiences at an earlier age not only thrust responsibility for the risk of AIDS and early pregnancy on young people, but also mean that many have to cope with the breakdown of a love relationship when they are immature. As well as putting additional strains on adolescents, these changes also mean that it is much more difficult to be a parent now than it was a hundred years ago.
I remember when you could spank a child in public with a switch and not get in trouble for it... Or what about that movie Abduction? The father beat the shit out of his son, with him fighting back of course. Why cant we just keep the old ways? Thats why many adults these days are not whiney pricks like the young adults and teenagers these days. Cause they got the shit smacked out of them for whining about a toy in the store or running around yelling for no reason.
These days you see mothers trying to shush thier child with soft words while the child screams out loud just because he can while they are in a store or other public place.
Not to mention if THAT is considered child abuse then why can Gym teachers, who are not the parents of the kids, tell you to run laps or give push ups when you do something wrong? At least when I was still in school they could. And if they changed that so they cant do that anymore then I say America is turning into pussies!
but I know thats how it was back in the day because my daddy would tell me stories about when he was younger. And I can witness the crap parenting going on today.
We Canadians never gave up corporal punishment. In fact we enhanced it. Unfortunately one of our experiments--one Christopher le Brun--escaped and has been running amok in our pants (aka America).

Arresting them seems more than unnecessary. I loved the clip on Southland where the kid called the cops on his mom for using a belt on him and the cop told him that if it happened again he'd show up and administer the belting himself.
