Dr. Phil I enjoyed your show today and was surprised that this is allowed in the school system. I was a child that was hit in that manner growing up. Parents need to be more involved with the school.. It is not OK to do that to anyone. The mother drop the ball by allowing this to take place. We need to help the schools and you are right we don't pay them effort. Working on the other side with the police I see how these kid end up in the Youth House. Since I have been that child and I have worked with the Youth House I don't see how this really helps our kids....Parents need to step up and do their jobs because right now it is left to the teachers and then the criminal system to handle them. I did not like it when it was done to me and the fact is that it created fear and left scares that will never go away. We need to pay the teachers more money. We need parents to get more involved, that is the bottom line.
