STUDENT ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING THREAT
• A 16-year-old Onalaska boy who allegedly threatened to get a gun, bring it to school and shoot a classmate “point blank” was arrested yesterday and booked into the Lewis County Juvenile Detention Center, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Dusty Breen said the alleged comment was made on Wednesday at Onalaska High School and was investigated that day and yesterday. Breen said a deputy was initially called to the school about 1:45 p.m. on Wednesday by another 16-year-old boy who discovered two tires were slashed on his vehicle. The boy said he suspected who had done it and that it stemmed from an exchange where he called the other boy a derogatory term after the other boy tried to poke him with a nail file in the buttocks during class, Breen said. The threat about the firearm occurred later in the day, according to Breen. When a deputy contacted the suspect’s father, the suspects father turned over four laptop computers which appeared to have been stolen from the school unbeknownst to the school, according to the sheriff’s office. The suspect was arrested for felony harassment and second-degree theft, according to Breen.

Hurting your kids? Go smoke a joint and think about your childhood. Liberal.
Tough Love, is just the current label for when a parent holds a child accountable for their actions.
Remove accountability and you’re left with a population that believes everything good in life is owed to them, not something to be achieved through their own work and efforts. It’s the fundamental difference between expecting the government to provide for you, verses working to provide for yourself.
Remove punishment from being a parent, and all you’ll raise are little progressives protesting about life not being fair enough or nice enough.
Hey, use whatever means necessary to hurt your children. I seriously don’t care. Just don’t act like you’re doing them any favors with your television “tough love” bs.
Whatever – your parents must have made you sit in the corner and “think about what you did” instead of grounding you, or taking away the keys to the car, or no prom…My little Johnny didn’t mean to stick his knife in that tire…he’s such a good boy – jeez
Be a parent not a friend. Doing what’s best isn’t always nice. Parents aren’t obligated to be nice or friendly. Just produce a productive adult for society that will pay taxes and be a good citizen. Stereotyping strict parents as “assholes” or “tough” is a half step to undermining the fabric of the family and almost there when it comes to defining bogus child abuse. Nobody is required to raise spoiled kids as your implying. What a liberal. Centralia college beckens you!!
Give up! Tough Love is for being assholes to your kids, not to people who have different opinions than yourselves. But by all means, attack me please. I need the attention.
Sheesh. Who educates these people?
Well, we now know Naive is under the age of 18, and sometime in their life was held accountable for doing something stupid.
your name is perfect, Naive, “tough love” is NOT an excuse for adults to be assholes to kids – Tough love is having those kids feel the consequences of their own actions – whether it be losing privileges, or going to Juvie or Jail…WAY too many kids these days get away with too much shit, and feeling entitled…it needs to stop
“Tough Love” is just a pathetic excuse for adults to be assholes to children.
They call it “tough love” because it is hard to let your child experience the full consequences of their actions. In this age of school shootings and easy access to guns, every explicit threat must be taken seriously. Young men can be impulsive as testosterone flows through their immature brains. Here we have a teenager who brought a knife to school, used it to vandalize a car, assaulted a peer with a tool, repeatedly stole, and explicitly threatened to kill. Now the school will expel him, and the family left on their own to deal with the consequences. Now little Johnny gets educated by other delinquents in the true school of hard knocks; prison.
WTG Dad, for not being one of those “my little Johnny wouldn’t do anything like that, he’s such a sweet boy”…You did the right thing
