I get the message theyre trying to convey, but do we really want our kids to think they can avoid going to jail because they mouthed sorry? As you watch this, consider that she is being charged with assaulting a minor, not refusing to issue an apology. The police are called when she refuses to apologize, but not BECAUSE she refuses to apologize. Do you want to teach your child that an apology, an act of contrition, can be used as bargaining tool or way to wield power over someone else? Say youre sorry, or Ill get you in trouble! Or do you want your child to offer apologies when they genuinely feel remorse for what their actions have caused?
