Explain: You cannot give a sword to the child?

(I'm assuming this was a literal question)\n\nSwords are banned from minors in most states. This includes handing them to a child without thier gaurdian present. THis is an extension of weapon laws (the same that prevent you from handing them a psitol). As a rennsaince actor, I have seen just what can happen when an otherwise innocent child is handed a blade. Since most swords are balanced they have a very natural swing and most people can't resist swinging them. Kids, especially teenagers often do this full force without clearing a safe area first. More than one actor has had to use a gloved hand to stop an out of control sword before someone got hurt. \n\nSwords are greatt and wonderful things, but they are dangerous by nature.

This is about children of Israel (the Jews): you shall not shed your blood.  Means: you are not to kill each other.\nNo suicide or civil war concerned.

Shock and outrage. Where would my child have access to a lethal weapon to take to school? I would be really upset with myself, if I was a gun owner, that my child would not respect the power and force of a firearm. I would also be upset at myself for allowing my child to have access to this, and that as a responsible gun owner, I was doing a diservice to other responsible gun owners by allowing them access to my guns.

Minor children cannot enter into a legal contract.  Tell them to take a leap....

So, having a girl friend is against your religion, but hitting someone with a metal pipe is not, are you sure you have that right? If you do, then I can say without hesitation that your religion has it wrong. At least the cultural interpretation that is being presented to you. \nIf you live in Canada, it is a criminal offence to use corporal punishment against a child over 16 years and under 3 years, and it is always a criminal offence to use any kind of rod or implement or to strike on the face, head or any vulnerable part of the body.

Many of the Saints in the Orthodox Church had children they were not forbidden to have children.  I know that some popes had children so some saints probably did too.

It's obvious all this medication for all these so called "disorders" don't work because 5 year olds are controlling things. Your kid is sick alright, he was born with a sin nature. Ever wonder why babies cry when they don't get their way and are selfish as toddlers?  "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me(Psalm 51:5)". "Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him(Proverbs 22:15)". Years ago, when there was no such thing as A.D.D. etc, the parents were in control because they spanked their children, thereby teaching them that choices have consequences. "He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently(Proverbs 13:23)". "Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. You shall strike him with the rod and rescue his soul from Sheol(Proverbs 23:13-14)". If you don't whoop him, he will whoop you. One day he will probably be bigger than you and if you don't get him now, what will you do then? He will be an out of control adult who will be dealt with by society, but only much more harshly. So please, for his sake, yours, and the rest of the world's, raise him right!

Having not read Ralph's question I'm just guessing here, but a stick sharpened at both ends presents a problem in that a stick is at best a crude weapon/tool and being sharp on both ends makes it a treacherous weapon/tool.

To be able to take a legally binding oath, you have to be 18, so the youngest theoretically possible is on someone's 18th birthday. Whether or not this has actually happened is probably unknowable.

From the movie Labyrinth: \nGive me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great. You have no power over me.

I think I could if it was to defend my children. This is a tough question.  I would agree with you that most of us are probably capable of it at some threshhold level, but the threshhold is what varies tremendously.  You did not ask "could we murder" another, and that was wise of you b/c most people would answer a resounding "NO!!!" Murder is taking a life with no possibility of it being for any forgivable reason, such as those you list. \n\nIf it was a choice between someone else and my child, and my child was the innocent being threatened by the evil someone else, and it was within my power to stop the evil someone, but to do so I had to kill that person, yes, I believe I would do it, and be thankful that I had been able to do it.\n\nAnd then I would pray very hard for forgiveness, because it would be terrible to have to take another's life, even if you had no choice.

that is how I taught my son -- I took him with me and he sat when I did.  Now I will say that it took me a minute to make him realize that he did not need TP -- but he is 12 today and there are no problems.   Good Luck

I would like to help you, but do not understand your phrasing.  What do you mean by "children under the age of 13 perpetrating...?"

Spare the rod...Spoil the child!

Yeah, but the child can refuse to answer without the presence of their parents or a lawyer.

The least serious would probably be interfering with judicial procedure...........the worst case would be kidnapping.  \n\nThere are legal ways to try before someone should attempt something this serious.  Many organizations will help if you are lacking money for attorneys.\n\nRemember, also, the children might be emotional in turmoil if such an upheaval were to occur.\n\nGood luck.

In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from.
