O.k. - I have grounded my son for two weeks, he is not allowed the use of his PS2 and Rockband for 2 weeks, no phone for 2 weeks and for the rest of the school year he is expected to walk to school and come home BY HIMSELF!! What did he do, you ask?

He took his pokemon cards to school after being told not too - but!! the worst part is that 2 of his friends wanted some of the cards and they decided they would STREAK on school property if he gave them to them. They did, he did - how would you have reaacted??

I don't think you overreacted. If you do the crime you have to pay the time. 2 weeks sound fair to me for what you are taking away from him. They could have all been expelled from school! The boys that steaked could have been in trouble with the law too and your son would have been considered some kind of accomplice since he was giving them somthing for doing it.
Stick with your punishment! Maybe he will learn from it for the next time he decides to pull something like that.

I think he is starting to learn that I mean business! Thanks for the response.

LOL..Oh my Lexa..I'm sorry but that was so funny..are you telling me the truth?
If so then i'm sorry..just the thought of that age streaking..LOL..I can't help it and i don't think I'm any good giving you an answer..ok let me calm down..nope aint going to work..still funny..Lexa, did your Son streak too? If not then those other kids have the bigger problem with the school i think..sounds like its just Him disobeying you about taking the cards to school..mind you he's your child and you have a right to be upset, but i still think its funny and some sort of punishment is due, but maybe not as much as you listed..ok I'll butt out now

LOL! Rose, thankfully my son was NOT one of the streakers - and to make me feel even better, there was a story on the news today about some guy in the states who wanted a girl to go to the prom with him - so he got his football team mates to stand in line and wrote "will you go to the prom with me?" on their butt cheeks!!

So, my thinking is, a couple of 10/11 year old's streaking to get some pokemon cards is mild compared to that!!

By the way, the girl said yes and the guys got 20 hours community service as punishment.

I think you were pretty fair all things considered although
he was not one of the streakers but he broke your rules by taking pokemon cardsto school after being told not too. yet he is implicatedtoo so no stick to your gunsyou are saving him
heart ache by stopping him now while he is young Iwould probably
have done the same thing.

I have to admit, I was quite shocked when the school called and told me what had happened - he usually listens when I tell him something.

Thanks for posting!
