Default Shopping your child to the police is wrong and unnatural

SHOPPING YOUR CHILD TO THE POLICE IS WRONG AND UNNATURAL
KILLS RELATION AND TRUST BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHIILDREN


Dear Editor and readers,

To my opinion it is an unnatural act, that parents shop their child to the police

See

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14516137

The duty of parents is to protect their children and not to shop them to the police, thus destroying the children's chance on a good career and future
It is also destroying the trust and good relatiion between parents and children
Because if children can't count on the natural protection, to whom they can turn?

Of course this does NOT mean, that parents agree with criminal facts of their children, because they also have the duty to correct and punish, sometimes sternly, if needed
And it also depends, of course, on the suspected crime

When there is possible murder involved, there is a different story, although even in that case I prefer that parents stmulate their children to go to the police themselves

In case of the riots I think it's pure nonsense to shop ones children to the police

Looting and burning is not acceptable, but let's remind the fact, that the whole thing started by the police shooting of a black man, not the first time, but almost ''common'' since the eighties of the former century, without proper punishment of the policemen involved
Also the social injustice is a cause to the riots

And besides that, the punishments for some looting were extremely hard
Will parents, who love their children, do that to them?
No, parents love means protecting the child and punish or correcting the children themselves, not betray them to the police

Kind greetings
