Wow, I wonder if it was a couple of rich kids in la-de-da heights over in Flower Mound, would the cops even showed up or more pressing, shaun rabb have even bothered to put on his trademark fedora and investigated accordingly.

Was the adult too chicken to go break up a fight between to little girls? Maybe they make the 10 year old gangbangers in Flower Mound extra tough..

It's primarily due to not playing in certified "North Dallas Safe" playground protective gear. In these ecure devices, physical conflict is virtually eliminated.

I tell ya, people in the burbs are so afraid of kids hitting each other. Id like to see kiddos, especially siblings, pop each other more often. Whatever happened to the day of letting them strap on some boxing gloves and go a few rounds? Its a great stress reliever and teaches them important life lessons..

"They are required by state law to act on any reports of domestic violence."

Does "act" necessarily mean "arrest"? They should've just given the kids a warning. Tell them to fight it out at home like most families do.

Well Chris... you can't brag too much. Don't you "in-towners" expect your reporters to have basic grammar skills. "Do y'all get along good?"

This is a yucky one because the cops really DO have to respond. Where do you draw the line? Big sis spanking little brother? Big brother pushing little brother? Mom hitting kid? Dad slapping kid? And the helpless cops get to just look stupid.

But, yeah, now that you mention it, I need to grab some of those long Nerf-like swimming pool tubes for my guys to destroy on each other while still in season. They break everything but the skin. Thanks for the reminder.

I do agree with your Jason, Hence why I posted my original comment on Shaun Rabb, how he's kept his job is a question all good journalist should ask.

Getting back to the original thought: I think kids need to strap on the boxing gloves and headgear, then spar a couple of rounds with a parent/guardian present. It'll reduce the number of repeat occurances and gives the cops the ability to perform real police work.

Lastly, we used to pop each other with worse when we were kids (wiffleball bats, Nerf Projectiles, anything by WHAM-O ect..)I think kids today are too soft LOL
