In reply to the discussion: A six year old boy accused me of grabbing him by the neck and choking him [View all]JohnnyRingo
(19,315 posts)18. I see this as one of the most heinous offenses.
Because it demeans the legitimate claims of others.
It's like the minor league of those who accuse someone of rape when there was none.
The person who accuses an African American of a crime when there is no crime.
The claims of someone who identifies the innocent of police brutality.
This is the kind of person these delinquents will become without intervention. These kinds of people need punished beyond the norm.
Sorry you were victimized. You deserve compensation for the attempted attack on your character.

There needs to be a way to "fire" parents -- or at least tell them to find a private school.
