If my neighbor did ANYTHING to my pets, they'd be lucky to only get sprayed with water.
Yeah but with a ten year old, talk to their parents first. You want to drench a child without their consent? Okay but they had better be in an environment that can explain to them that this is a tit for tat type thing. A ten year old doesn't understand a lot of things and it's not up to the child to perform what we expect them to. Do they need to be corrected, yes. Does doing it so callously benefit anyone? Only a bully. There's a huge difference between constructive discipline and just straight up punishment. It takes an adult to know the difference.
Good job making assumptions for your own argument.
