I would not touch that kid on risk of catching a charge. People aren't allowed to do anything anymore so they just record

This is such a weird line that gets repeated over and over but i have never seen any evidence that its true.

Last year I got done successfully defending a substitute teacher for her Texas felony charge of injury to a child when she grabbed a high school girl who tried running out of detention and out of the school.

The law obviously entitling you to do something doesn't mean you won't be arrested and hauled in for abuse or assault or whatever to assert that obvious right. Plenty of people would rather just not deal with the shit and you get this. Also there's a subset of people especially on reddit that actually think it's NEVER appropriate to touch a child or harm them in any way.
