Reply #113: So she brings in the state to fix a family squabble?

If she wants him scared, he should be arrested for a crime, like shoplifting, or assault, that he has committed. To waste police and court time with something that isn't a crime is stupid, and sends exactly the wrong message - that stupid arguments will be used to find a way to punish him, rather than real wrongdoing.

If she wants to scare him, perhaps she should tell him he'll never be a better parent than she is. That would scare the living crap out of me.
