"I live in a gated community. On Saturday night around midnight my husband and I caught a 15 year-old stealing items from our car in the driveway. We called the police. The boy lives in the back of our community. Yesterday, neighbors came over and begged us not to go ahead with pressing charges. They say it would be bad for the neighborhood and morale. My husband and I are outraged and don't want this to happen to another neighbor. Should we press charges or not?"
"My ex-wife has primary custody of our seven-year-old daughter. Our daughter wants to get her nose pierced in time for her upcoming school pictures. I don't approve, but my ex-wife does. She says our daughter is old enough to make this decision for herself. I disagree and think she might get bullied and teased. My ex says that will make her grow thick skin if it happens. She says we should allow her to express herself. My wife needs to be a parent and not an enabler or a friend. Should a seven year-old be making decisions like this? Is this irresponsible parenting?"
