You sure? Who wants to keep track of a kid's fake debt? A couple months down the road no one wants to deal with it anymore. An ass beating is a more pragmatic approach.
This pretty much sums it up. Lazy, uninterested parents who have no patience or logic or common sense are always the ones who resort to violence. Why invest time and energy into teaching your child valuable life lessons when you can do something that makes you feel better about yourself(with no regard to the affects on the kid) and go back to completely ignoring them until they do something wrong again.
It only takes seconds to implant the memory in the kid's head. By the time he pays off the car damage ($3000+?) he'll be an adult and he'll probably have caused more damage since then and incurred even more "debt." The only lesson you're teaching him is he's gonna owe someone money the rest of his life.
Should parents be held responsible for their kids' mistakes?
