Then you could talk about how this could be prevented in the future, whether or not the mother's sentence was strict enough. You know, intellectual discussion?
Talking about preventing things like this happening is not intelligent discussion, intelligent discussion is accepting things like this will happen and not being foolish enough as to think we can stop it.
None of us can prevent it except by not doing it, that's why threads like this are dumb.
Someone posts a "bad" story, everyone goes "Yeah it's bad.", then what? What more could be possibly developed?
Anyone tries to do anything besides say "OOOH! TERRIBLE!" and you're throwing a fit.
