I've seen how children took their parents to court based on the fact that their parents punished them for what they did wrong.
It is funny how some children will call the police on their parents; there was this movie I watched, and because the parents were yelling at their 13-year-old son not to miss class and always go to school, he needed to call police officers on her mom, telling the police officers that the parents were yelling and hit him with a stick. Funny enough, the police officers did justice by dealing with the boy, telling him that the next time he misses class, he will be the one to beat him by himself.
I believe taking parents to court can only happen abroad, not in my country. Oh goodness, I so much love African parents. One thing we need to know is that when a child is growing up, there are lots of mischievous activities he/she will be doing, but to make the children not go far in all these activities, it is good to act fast by dealing with them.
Children will always act like children; they are not mature enough to know what is right from what is wrong. Starting from schooling activities, some children will not go to school and leave home. Imagine that kind of situation, but the moment they realize that there is punishment for not going to school, they will adjust.
I've, for once, been there. I was teaching in a particular school; it's a private school, and of course a private section is always different from the public sector. This is a school; this particular guy did something when I was in their classroom; he threw a pen at me. I mean, he's just a 12-year-old boy. I reported him to the principal and the school board, but they couldn't do anything about it based on the fact that it's a private school.
That reminds me back in our days, I dared not do that; in fact, if you made noise alone, you were going to serve punishment regardless of who you were. My point is that, without punishment, there will not be anything like discipline or fairness among the children.
One of my area sisters did something weird some weeks ago; she's just 16. Funny enough, she left school and went somewhere we did not know. Coming back home, we interrogated her and realized she's lying.
We followed her to school to know the truth; on getting there, we now realize she's actually lying. When we got home, her parents beat the hell out of her, and since then her head has gone back to factory settings. Lastly, I also see a grown-up lady who went to a club and showed her naked body; she was invited home by her brother and her dad, and together with the brothers, they stripped her naked and beat the hell out of her.
My point is that punishment is okay, in as much as you are not doing it in a wrong way; honestly, some children are so weird, and the only thing you can use on them is my given little punishment. I'm glad I was trained the way I was trained; till this moment, I still have good respect for my parents.
In summary, it will never be okay if children are given the ability to sue their parents; obviously, some children are just too weird, but it can still be okay if some kinds of punishment were being eradicated. Also, if I have the ability to sue my parents, I will dare not, and I also promise myself to train my children the way I was trained.
