Not sure you understand Our rights as parents have been taken away - Lets say the father of a school shooter discovered his kid was going to commit a crime and grabbed the kid by his hair and called the police guess who's going to jail ?
I don't think your example of grabbing the kid by the hair works. That's abuse in the present for something your child has not done yet. The police aren't looking at what your kid was going to do, they are arresting you for what you just did to that kid.
We aren't living in precrime yet.
Let me get this straight You have information that your kid is about to do something, and you physically control them before they do it you are in the wrong?

The police will look at what’s in front of them not a crime that has yet to happen. They aren’t the judge, they are there to stop the actions that have already taken place. If you use force on a child they don’t care why you did it, that is for the judge to decide, they are there to arrest you.
This is why explaining yourself to them usually goes unheard. If they come out and see no threat they usually leave, if they find a child was hurt, no matter why, the abuser will be contained.
