Now onto what last night's post was supposed to be about

Possible legal action is looming against a school in Denham Springs, Louisiana. A mother says Northside Elementary is guilty of endangering her son when he attended the school last year. The student, Gabreil Amos, demonstrated Thursday what has become a polarizing topic for parents: recess detention. "They didn't tell us what was going on with our children," said his mom, Cynthia Amos. She's the latest parent to say the school made her son hold safety cones as a form of punishment. "I was kind of astounded. I was like, 'I can't see anybody doing anything like this to a child,'" said Amos. This allegedly happened when Gabreil was in third grade last year. But his mom just found out when he opened up Wednesday night following the report. The reason she's just finding out is because Gabreil said he was afraid to tell. "They said if I told my parents that I would have five more days of it," he said. Livingston Parish Schools Superintendent John Watson confirmed that punishment using safety cones did happen last year at the school, but as an alternative to suspension and only with parental consent. Gabreil's mother said that's not true. "I just don't understand how that is acceptable punishment for my child especially when I had signed paperwork that no form of corporal punishment was allowed," said Amos. Supt. Watson also said it wasn't happening anymore, which conflicted with what two other parents said in the report. Seriously, come on. If they don't think they did anything wrong, they wouldn't have hid it. And you can't do that sort of crap to children. What may be "recess detention" to them is borderline child abuse.
