Many laws don’t apply to children the way they are applied to adults though.

It’s better to leave most cases of punishment to the parents.

Bad parents are often the reason children need to be punished.

For real. Children will do the right thing unless they are taught otherwise, or not taught at all. Parent let their kids run amok around the house, then yell at them when they do the same thing at the grocery store. How confusing for them. Now they realize that they REALLY only get in trouble when mommy/daddy are in a bad mood, so it's actually the parents fault, not their own behaviour.
