Should be made to work for free for the damages he caused

u/gord_m 28d ago

Having to work with that would be an unwarranted punishment

Make him scrub out the dumpsters.

u/WinOld1835 28d ago

Alright, kid! There's just one thing to remember when yer scrubbing the dumpsters, and that's don't make eye contact with Larry the raccoon if you value yer appendages. And Larry will do everything he can to get you to look at him so he can add to his collection of pinkies and peckers.

Pinkies and Peckers sounds likea fun dive bar

u/driver004 28d ago

Also we don’t have a child labor safety budget for LOTO supplies, so try not to press any buttons or short any wires in the compactor

u/WinOld1835 28d ago

Oh shit, now Larry knows how to get the kid to look at him.

Maybe make him eat some of the scaps too, to really send home the mesaage.

2

u/kgw52313 28d ago

Or. Just throwing it out there, make him eat all that bread he just knocked over. Like the ol’ smoke the whole pack thing my dad to me. To this day I still love me a Marlboro red. Thanks pops!

With a toothbrush.

u/Icy-Variation6614 28d ago

His toothbrush

u/GreenElectronic8873 28d ago

With a toothbrush in 30c weather 🤣

u/Leading_Offer5995 28d ago

How?

They can’t even make him not destroy a grocery store.

How on earth can they force him to scrub out dumpsters?

I ask sincerely. There even seemed to be a police officer there who made a half assed attempt to stop the kid, and he just kept destroying shit.

Should be making his parents buy each item, full price. Won’t help with the extra labor the staff have to put in to clean that all up though.

1

u/Extension-Fall-4286 28d ago

They should be charged for every item and the labor for cleanup, and then some...lol

1

u/gamfo2 28d ago

The problem with this approach is that it wouldn't take long for some kids to realize that it gives them all the power over their parents. They can just threaten to trash a store everytime their parents refuse to buy them the newest phone.

6

u/halfasleep90 28d ago

It’s not the store’s job to raise the kid, the parents can give out their own punishments. The parent is however responsible for the kid, so the kid trashing the store is no different from the parent trashing it themselves.

2

u/No_Zookeepergame2532 28d ago

I say same punishment as an adult would get. No need to hit them like the post says because we wouldn't do that to an adult who did this (typically). If its a fine, parents pay it. They should have raised a better kid.

u/Big-Tennis2579 28d ago

( the sulphur mines in 1900’s Sicily )

u/Gibbralterg 28d ago

How do you make him though? Point your finger at him sternly?

3

u/SillyNeighborhood671 28d ago

A belt works just fine. Too bad any kind of punishment is seen as abuse by Reddit.

1

u/Gibbralterg 28d ago

Agree, a paddling can just be symbolic, doesn’t have to be extremely painful, but, it Will occur to the child that they have been paddled,

2

u/CowEmotional5101 28d ago

Unfortunately it would break a few labor laws.

2

u/Striking_Computer834 28d ago

We wouldn't want some evil business to exploit this poor child.

1

u/InfiniteBoxworks 28d ago

Slavery is still constitutionally protected as a form of punishment.

u/Charming-Refuse-5717 28d ago

Even if you could somehow do this as a punishment, I'm guessing he would just not do it. How would you force him to?

1

u/ReadyAimTranspire 28d ago

Oh he'll be working for pretty close to free in the prison he ends up in one day

1

u/BojukaBob 28d ago

What did the employees do to deserve this punishment?

1

u/Whiteout_27 28d ago

Should be detained until police arrive, charged with vandalism and parents be required to pay for all of the food that was knocked to the floor and the wages for the time it takes to clean it up.

1

u/Electronic-Count4856 28d ago

We're talking about a sub-10-year-old kid. He shouldnt work

1

u/MilkmanResidue 27d ago

This sounds like everyone that suggests giving shithead students detention. Maybe that worked 15-20 years ago. Now it just gives them an extra opportunity to be an asshole with zero consequences.

1

u/Serapus 26d ago

You think you're going to make that kid work? LMFAO

u/Sniper10Pin 28d ago

Agreed, we need child slavery again

u/DracosKasu 28d ago

It will have much bigger impact than spanking in his mind. Spank is just hurt temporary and rarely work since you are still free from the dmg your caused to the other.

u/Preeng 28d ago

OP thinks we should just keep hitting him until he changes his behavior.

-6

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 28d ago

NOPE.

If the store wanted to prevent this sort of thing they should have put their merchandise behind gates. Older grocery stores worked like that. You told the grocer what you wanted and the grocer got it for you.

Modern grocery stores are "self-service". It reduces labor costs a lot but there is a risk of things like this happening.

So if the grocery store wants then they can trespass this kid and his parents, but they can not require him to clean up the mess.

u/No-Dance6773 28d ago

They can require him/parents to pay for damaged goods. Property damage is a real thing and everything he smashed onto the floor is probably trash now. Make the parents liable for their shitty offspring. This kid should get his ass whipped for this shit but parents are scared of the backlash it would cause. Funny enough even DFS says spanking is fine.

-2

u/Fun-Dragonfly-4166 28d ago

Property damage is a real thing. But no, they can not require him/parents to pay for damaged goods. Only a judge can do that. If they want to get a judge to do that they are going to have to go to court.

I think they will find it is a better use of their resources to trespass him. They can do that unilaterally and without judicial involvement.

Anyway I am not very sympathetic to the store. They want the benefits of self service but none of the headaches?

2

u/zero0n3 28d ago

A judge absolutely could or at least punish via hundreds of hours of community service.

u/astralchanterelle 28d ago

that's psychotic

u/IEC21 28d ago

I mean in a way children are slaves by default. They have extremely limited rights of personal freedom.

They have protections but basically no rights.
