Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

You think a significant part of the population would torture their child over this?
Yes, definitely. Plenty of parents would just see "my son punched someone at school and got suspended for 2 days" and they would do everything in their power to make those 2 days hell as punishment. I'm honestly amazed some of y'all seem not to be familiar with these types of parents.
This is a fantasy you have bro. You know nothing about this kid.
It is incredibly common for parents to tell their kids to beat up their bullies even if it's against school rules.
Yeah you know what, I do in fact think that you've made up the idea that liberals are prone to torturing their children. Gonna stick with that.
I'm glad you've lived such a sheltered life.
If this is an American politics-as-sports issue then maybe you'll be soothed by my assurance that I believe fascists are far more prone to torturing their children than liberals. But liberals certainly aren't opposed to it.
The (again made up) assumption that I've lived a sheltered life is another attempt to dismiss the argument as baseless instead of addressing it. You have no evidence for these claims, you've just got your prejudice.
You've definitely lived a sheltered life if you don't believe in shitty parents, idk what to tell you.
My argument has never been that shitty parents don't exist, don't try to present like I have ever claimed that. Everything here is pointing out that your fantasy - that a significant proportion of parents fall into the category of "pacifist liberals who torture their kids" - is something you just plain made up.
Edit: Oh. Well thank you, mods!
