we still need to know the background information on these families and why this action was considered at the moment of punishment for the kids.

I wouldn't do that to my son but for sure he'll be grounded for a while and with no access to toys and videogames.

After that for sure he would have understood the lesson.

Once again every family has different rules and living conciditions and before judging that; we should be able to see/read/understad the whole history.

Don't you guys think so??

Regards!!
