This is one of those stories where
you'll either say “That poor kid” or “Good for his mama!” Me,
I say “It should have happened for real!” because I don't have
kids and tend to be extreme in my thoughts. Blame it on my social
Asperger's or the touch of autism. Either way this kid had his mother
Chiquita Hill of Columbus, Georgia scare the shit out of him because
he was acting up. She was afraid that his bad behavior would continue
and lead to him being in trouble with the law or killed in the
future.
She said for weeks that her 10 year old
son was being a problem in school and acting up. She said that
talking to him about it wasn't working so she took another approach.
“He's going through the phase right now, it's just in one ear out
the other.” Employing the Scared Straight method she had police
come to check his bad ass. “I'm scared for when they get older, how
bad is it going to be?” She talked to the police about the
simulation and they came, talked to him about his behavior, and
tossed his ass in the back of a cop car for five minutes. Proud to
say I am 36 and have never been in a police car. Handcuffed for
suspected bank robbery, yeah, but never placed in the police car.
