A Colorado state official wants the
parents punished when the child is de-
linquent, on the theory that it is the
fault of the parent. That would be a
grand revenge for children after all
of these years of engagement with
barrel slaves and skate straps How.
ever, it would be hard on the parents,
as it would mean that there would be
no part of their life free from
punishments. Most of the parents
grow up before the moral suasion
ideas got very far along and they
would have to stand it at both ends
Their only hope for relief would be in
becoming grandparents as speedily as
possible.
