8.TT.1.1

Alexis cooper 4-17-12(my b-day block: 2b viper 1.) Justice and fairness- The act of getting fair treatment no matter what. Every body deserves to be treated fairly!!!! I honestly don't think that social services should get involved, in the life of this child,who's mother made them hold a sign on the corner saying"I stole and i lie". This mother did not do anything to harm the child, but she taught him a lesson. He felt the shame and embarrassment by holding that sign. How do you think the mama felt that her son was stealing, probably, embarrassed? So she taught him a lesson for what he did. I don't think that what she did was wrong at all. Social services just needs to examine the issue fully. There was no harm done to the child. He was taken care of just fine. He was not in a dangerous predicament. It's her child she was the one who raised him and did what she had to do. It more than likely made her feel betrayed that her son was stealing, when he knows not to. He is of age to know right from wrong it was his choice to do what he did. Therefore he had to suffer the consequences for his actions, and that was holding up that sign.

Description: I found this article online and I choose it because I was out raged that her child almost got taken from her. The issue of social services was not in this article but did later come up. This article really helped me understand the process of finding legit information on the web. My feelings above basically tell how i feel about the situation of the mom and the son. I also put what i think justice/fairness means, and it very well ties into this.
