Don’t assume because they got in trouble that they don’t go to church and their parents don’t care enough to make them behave. Even kids that go to church get in trouble because all of these kids go to church. You never know when your kid might sneak out of the house. I did a couple of times when I was a kid and I turned out ok. Never say never because they might make a liar out you!!
When I was 30 years old I said to my Mom, “Mom, thank you for loving me enough to allow me to hate you for a few years so I could, in turn, love you for the rest of my life”. I hated my parents because they would not allow me to do the things that all the other teens were doing!
I am so thankful for the horrible things my parents spared me from experiencing by saying “no” and meaning it! My parents took the hard road for themselves, by setting rules and enforcing them, and I am reaping the benefits of their hard work! It is much easier to let the kids do whatever they want to do!
It is a proven medical fact that the human brain is not fully mature until about the age of 22! The part of the brain that matures last the part that helps a person make hard moral choices. The parents job is to keep their child safe, by keeping them from situations where they have to make those choices, because they are unprepared to do so.
Parents need to grow a back bone, take the hard road for a few years (setting rules and boundaries and enforcing them) so they can enjoy the rest of their life with the respect and love of their grown children! What a blessing it is for a parent to know that they have raised a ‘good citizen’!
You can have good children without beating them to death. You learn them young and also take them to church and learn them to fear Our God ,the one that gives and takes . Teach them , that they will reap what they sow, ever man shall. No one can punish someone like God does. I am not a big time christian , but I was taught as I grew up,and I have watched people be so cruel to others and do things that I couldn’t believe. But I have watched the same people that harvest good for evil for a long time and then one day God says enough . I always brought my children up in the family way. So far they are excellent people.These young people ,just didn’t have any raising about them. I have always loved young and old people and respected them and what they owned. Where are morals and standards in these new generations,children killing their parents and grandparents ,cousins,aunts and uncles,usually for the love of money and material things. Teach them people to work for what they want and get. At 3 in the morning, my father and mother knew and even after I married and had kids knew where to get in touch with me at that time of the morning. My children have been taught the same, if you tell me you are at a certain place with a certain someone,then that is where you better be. ITS JUST COMMON SENSE AND GOOD UP BRINGING….AND LOVE
Instead of a spank on the hand, they need to spend the whole up coming summer doing community service.Wearing a sign so everyone can see them.
Good morning None of, getting some better anyway.
We made if very clear to our ONLY son EARLY in his life to PICK his friends carefully. It is WHO you choose as your friends and spend your time with that will make a difference in your life. As parents you must keep in touch with those that your children choose as friends and know who they are. Ask questions. Meet their friends and parents. We had boys at our house 24/7. It wasn’t easy at times and sometimes it meant a little extra financially on us but it paid off. He has great friends and to this day they remain strong, fast and true. These young teenagers must not have had this advise given to them. Now, it will be HARD…but they must break free of these BAD friendships and go their own ways. [jmo]
Good morning …None of……hope that your husband got you something nice for Valentines day…
Yep people, spanking and correcting your children don’t mean that you don’t love them…But if you don’t correct them your not loven them. Spank, correct while they are young..or the judge and jury will.
By the way none of, I took your advice and left the net for town most of yesterday. Pensacola, World Ford, Walmart…still like the net better.
Last but not least…..
MORNING BIG B
Atmore police are really aweful. My daughters best friends husband beat the beans out of her. The police took him off and promised to keep him over night. He was released a few hours later.
About a year ago, a man who was sharing a trailer with my daughter and her husband hit her and caused her to miscarry. The police were called and they told her (in front of me, because I called them to come back) that if she called them back,SHE would be arrested!
Our police department needs a kick in the pants. If no one is held responsible when they do wrong, then they will continue to do wrong. If victims are intimidated by those police, then who’s to help?
C’mon people lets get it together.
Puddin
I couldn’t have said it better.
It’s the same as with the kids.
If you don’t punish the children when they do wrong, they just keep going
to bigger and better criminal activity.
If you don’t punish the adults who do wrong, then THEY just keep going
to bigger and better criminal activity.
How many ppl up here have ever heard of CONSEQUENCES?
Does anyone know what they are FOR or WHY THEY WORK?
Common lets have a show of hands!
LOL
Tammie,
I’m glad you found out who they were. It puts a face to your anger and may
take some of the sting out.
Just remember this……..
WHEN SOMEONE SHOW’S YOU WHO THEY ARE, BELIEVE THEM!
I agree with the curfew idea. maybe it would keep kids off the streets and out of the “club” that quiet a few kids were busted drinking at. This is sad!
Tammie……..some people……. well pride or embarrassment just gets in the way. It only takes a little sometimes to start the healing…maybe they will come around.
I do believe it is who you are in Atmore. I know of a auto accident last week. The person had no insurance or driveres licences. They got no tickets. This is why we are all paying more and more for auto insurance for the people that get by with not having any, I thought that this was the law in Alabama . Has this law changed or does this just apply to Atmore that you do not have to carry auto insurance?
To all concerned…. I know who they are now. I have to say that I had stereo-typed in my mind what they may have looked like and they are quite “different” than what I had imagined. I do know them and their parents. I had hoped for an apology (at least) but that hasn’t happened …. yet.

“He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes” (Proverbs 13:24) and “Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell.” (Proverbs 23:13-14)
REGARDING:
“As U.S. citizens we are guaranteed the freedom to travel, assemble together, and spend our time as we wish without fear of being arrested or questioned as to our intentions. Unless we break a law of the land the government has no authority to control or prevent the free exercise of our constitutional rights. A curfew on teenagers leads to a curfew on everyone!”
I am not writing in favor or opposition to curfews on teenagers because I don’t know if they would do any good. However, limitations on rights and freedoms of minors is well established in law. (consider school attendance, drinking, smoking, sex, voting, banking, ownership)
We really don’t expect children to be responsible for their actions. Their parents are responsible. If the parents are responsible, hold them responsible. If the children want to go out at three in the morning for perfectly honest purposes, let the parents accompany them.
If children commit crimes, let the responsible parties–the parents–pay the price, either in fine or prison. If the children commit felonies, place a felony conviction on the parent’s recored. It will limit their job opportunities and loan possibilities in the future, but that is part of the price you pay for having children you are not caring for properly.
NOTE: this is being written by a person who no longer has minor children and who would have spent at least one night in jail under the proposed solution. not that I fault my child for doing what he did to get arrested since he was defending my other child from an attack by a drunk at the time. (Some law enforcement officers have strange priorities.)
Anyway, this solution would work but would not be applied because it’s easy to make laws which apply to others but not laws which might apply to ourselves.
David considering a society wilfully out of control and under seige
I think sometimes it is who the person is that does these things. There was a accident in Atmore last week and the cop did not write the person up they had no licences or insurance. This is why the rest of us are paying large amount of insurance bills. I do not understand this. The law is the law for everyone.
Morning Big B
Yessss I like this morning better.
Hubby is home and I love us having coffee with chocolate in it.
HEE HEE HUBBY SAID NOW THAT WE BROUGHT IT UP HE
HAS TO HAVE SOME MORE. LOL
None of..good morning…hope you like this one better than yesterday..Hot chocolate and back to the problems at hand…The Goverment has no business in trying to raise our children, but some parents have no business having children…some of them waisted their brain on drugs or alcohol before having children, some during the time they try to raise them..Children can’t raise themselves.
Parents raise you children, or some thug will.
mother of 3,
We don’t need a curfew hon, we need better laws!
Mom and Dad is the one’s who should be telling these little thugs
when to be home, and keeping track that they are doing something
decent with their time.
These little thugs would be cleaning the garage, car, closets,
scrubbing the carpets, and they would get a job, even if they
were only old enough to have a paper route. They need to learn
to do productive things, and work till they drop.
I’m still wondering if the little thugs homework was done!
Or are they 16 and they have dropped out!
Poor Tammie,\
I guess you don’t know the law hon,
KIDS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN YOU DO!
The PERP. has rights, lots and lots of them.
I had to get security cameras, monitors, tape recorders, and buy lots of
private property signs.
Now a lawyer told me I need to build a high, high fence.
All this just to keep the bad neighbors off my property and keep ourselves
safe.
You heard the MAN it’s not the governments job to raise kids.
IT’s the Parents and of course if they would release the names
maybe the town could keep an eye on these kids since their
parents don’t have a clue, or just don’t care.
Breaking and Entering isn’t a juvenile crime in my book.
What if you had been in there doing books and someone
had dropped you off and they broke in, found you and
got scared and killed you because you knew them or something.
Remember the little kid that took another little kid out in the
woods and killed him. Look how old he was.
It’s a changing kiddo, parents aren’t doing their jobs, and kids
are more than just a pain in the you know what.
They are Dangerous.
Any kid that will break in to a closed business in the dead of night
should never have gotten released right away.
Probably they were minors and they got released right back into
the custody of the very parents that aren’t raising them to be
model citizens.
Boy theres a solution to your problem.
Get Cameras hon, then you will know who they are.
See you soon
Hugs!
I agree with Tammie about punishment. I think that, when crimes are committed — even by juveniles — at least one night should be spent in jail. Not having a tough, immediate consequence will not make an impression on anybody — young or old. But, then again, we live in a society where “everything is all right” and parents are sometimes put in jail when they try to discipline their children. As the Bible says, “Spare the rod, spoil the chiild.” I am afraid that we are grooming a generation of young people who do not respect authority, don’t understand the concepts of rules and respect, and think they are above the law.
I can’t understand why they were let go so quickly. I got the call around 10:15 and they were already released. I was not told who they were… only that they were juveniles. Now I’m not knocking the Atmore PD because obviously they did an AWESOME job!!! And surely they followed the rule of law for this particular circumstance. But, if these kids didn’t receive some sort of punishment…. what’s stopping them from doing it again somewhere else……. and actually succeed in stealing someone’s property?
It will be interesting to see who these teenagers are and whether this is their first time making a very bad decision like this.
mother of 3 – CITY OF ATMORE AT ONE OF THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
NEEDS TO SET A PLAN FOR A CURFEW FOR TEENAGERS.
I would beg to differ with the idea put forth in the above comment.
First of all, the assumption that city government should be allowed to control when and where its citizens spend their time, is very dangerous. As U.S. citizens we are guaranteed the freedom to travel, assemble together, and spend our time as we wish without fear of being arrested or questioned as to our intentions. Unless we break a law of the land the government has no authority to control or prevent the free exercise of our constitutional rights. A curfew on teenagers leads to a curfew on everyone!
Secondly, this comment is the very reason we have teens attempting to rob and steal. It is NOT…I repeat, NOT the governments responsibility to raise, train, control, or educate YOUR children. If you expect the government to teach your kids right and wrong, go read about the latest political scandal. It is the parents responsibility to raise respectable citizens….more specifically, the father’s.
Thirdly, don’t excuse the horrible behavior of your teenagers just because they’re in the “adolescent” stage. Teens should be given the privileges and responsibilities of either children or adults according to the way they act. Let them decide which they’d rather be, and if they behave like children…DON’T let them have the privilege of going out like adults!
What would I know about any of this…I mean, come on…I’m just an 18 year old kid myself.
CITY OF ATMORE AT ONE OF THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS NEEDS TO SET A PLAN FOR A CURFEW FOR TEENAGERS.
IN MY OPINION KIDS TODAY NEED TO BE DISCIPLINED LIKE WE WERE BACK THEN. THEN KIDS WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT GOING OUT AND VANDALIZING OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY. MY MOM AND DAD DIDN’T HESITATE TO WHOOP US. ANOTHER THING OR THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHY WERE THOSE KIDS OUT DURING THAT TIME OF THE NIGHT ANYWAY. AND I THINK THE PARENTS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR KIDS ACTION RIGHT ALONG WITH THE KIDS. AND TAMMIE I’M SORRY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT YOU RECEIVED.
Thanks none of… We always welcome new customers as long as you come during business hours (not like these clowns did!) You can find my add right here on NorthEscambia!
J Coburn..
Thanks for the correction.:)
back to the hot tub.
To bill, big b little ill who said, “more than likely were just going to get there hair done” …I think today they say, “getting they hair did” …
Tammie, it’s a shame you did’ent have a peeved off Rottweiler in that junk room…LOL
Sorry about this Tammie… The whole thing is a crying shame,
probably for you just like I had one of the times they robbed me,
They kicked in my front door, and then just looked for drugs and
money. (Yeah right like I keep drugs, hey I’m 63 most of us
seniors don’t do drugs, at least not the kind of drugs your looking for)
If you need some lipitor, help yourself.
The problem is they do more damage to the house then they
get in stuff.
Creeps!
Anyway Tammie, I’ll come give you some business one day soon,
now that I know your there.
Hugs
It was my hair salon! And I agree with everyone on here! Shame on you boys!
Maybe they should have spent the night in jail! They got a big shock in the storage room, there’s nothing in there except junk!
Mornin Big B, notice I didn’t say GOOD MORNING. Yuck!
Is a good morning for coffee tho….
I got cinnimon sticks, vanilla and a dash of hershey’s choc.,
and the waters hot………
good for you kitty C.
you can’t do enough to keep your children safe in this scary
world.
We see teens in our neighborhood come home to mommies
at 3 in the A.M.
We wouldn’t have let our children act like alley cats at that
time of night and live free under our roof.
WOW!
Whose watch was it on these teens!
Yep a real good whipping would have helped a few years back.. My dad had no problem taking off a belt and blistering my butt..I need every one he ever gave me. God bless him for it.. Wish he was still living so I could tell him again how much I love him.
They were just playing hide and go seek…yea right…maybe they were looking for scrap metal, that;s going around you know. Or maybe they were just out looking for snow to build a snow man…nah more than likely were just going to get there hair done..
Morning none of..
And everyone thought caning was a bad idea maybe if these KIDS had something to fear this would not have happen (this is just a thought)
HEY!!!! WHERE IS MOM AND POP???? DID THEY CHECK TO MAKE SURE THEIR SON WAS WHERE HE SAID HE WOULD BE???? DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO?
I KNOW AND SEE THE ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS.
I SURE HOPE THEY/PARENTS ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR TEENS ACTIONS.
PLEASE KNOW WHERE YOUR NEVER TOLD A LIE TEEN OR PRE-TEEN IS. HAVE A CURFEW AND FOR PETES SAKE CHECK UP ON HIM OR HER. YOU JUST MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING.
WE SURE LEARNED SOMETHING. IT DIDN’T TAKE BUT ONE, THAT’S ONE TIME TO SEE THE LIGHT.
