Let me discipline my kid how I see fit, short of abuse naturally, then I'd consider it.

Good points. However, I don't think it's necessarily about laying blame on the parents for them raising a bad kid, it may be more about getting proper restitution. You as a victim can't get much if anything out of a kid, but you can certainly in a lot of cases get something from the kid's parents for the kid's wrongdoings.
It's a whole other debate though, and there are good arguments both for and against it, obviously.
I do find your opinions on spanking and parents adminitstering real discipline to their kids quite refreshing though.

Hot yes, she is. But what that hotness says to me is that it is such a waste and that it is wasted on her. I'm quite glad she didn't decide to move into my nieghborhood. I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there who would hit it and be quite willing to overlook what she did, but I am not one of them.
How the hell could anyone find a way to truly trust her?
