Well yeah, the serious and lengthy, lengthy talks would be more important than the grounding, if grounding would be involved. However, I do think that serious actions have to have serious repercussions. Obviously I would put more thought into it In Real Life, but I'm pretty sure there would be some kind of punishment involved, since my hypothetical child would be told about the nature of things and action/reaction at an age. It would have to be very, very clear that this is not the thing to do, but also I guess that I could be spoken to about Things and am not a Nazi monster.Or the fun police. I think a change of school would be involved. Because clearly, the friendship group there is not a good one. Maybe. I don't know. I don't presume to be ready to do parent things yet, at all. But I do know that there would be dire consequences. Dire.
Hm, I wouldn't force the child to have an abortion but to be quite honest I don't think that 12 year olds are in a position to make that decision. And I'm not sure it would be good for them physically either. They wouldn't be keeping it though.
Although I SUPPOSE if this happened it would also be a situation with failure as a parent too, so all of the punishment can't fall on the kid. It is a complex and manifold situation.

Being flip is fun though.
