Here's how to deal with unruly kids. The link is from the Daily Mail, story below.

A teenage German offender has been sent to Siberia for nine months as part of a "somewhat unusual" effort by authorities to turn him away from violence.


"If he doesn't hack wood, his place is cold," Stefan Becker, the head of the youth and social affairs department in the central German town of Giessen, said. "If he doesn't get water, he can't wash ... Siberia is very low on excitement and contacts."


Becker said the 16-year-old, who he did not identify, had behaved violently in school and at home, had attacked his mother, and was "pathologically aggressive".
He argued that the move freed the boy from troublesome influences and forced him to confront bigger challenges - like, one might say, survival.
Becker said that the boy was participating willingly in what he described as "a somewhat unusual measure, even for us".
So-called "intensive educational experiences abroad" are a move used by youth services in extreme cases to help reform juveniles who also undergo further treatment upon returning to Germany.
News of the measure emerged amid a bad-tempered debate on youth crime ahead of state elections January 27 in Hesse - where Giessen is located - and Lower Saxony.
Hesse governor Roland Koch, a senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats, has seized on youth crime in a tight race to win re-election.
The teenager, who left Germany six months ago, is living in a simple house in the village of Sedelnikovo, some 300 kilometres (190 miles) from Omsk, accompanied by a Russian-speaking supervisor.
A youth department employee visited the boy last month to check up on his progress, and "it seems as if (the plan) is working," Becker said. With help from his supervisor, the youth is attending classes at a school near the village.
Becker said he could recall only two similar cases over recent years. However, an organization representing youth help groups, AGJ, said that some 600 serial offenders from Germany are currently involved in programs outside the country.
Merkel's party this month has called for tougher action against young criminals. It has challenged the center-left Social Democrats - its coalition partner in the federal government but its opponent in state voting this month - to consider tougher laws that would range from higher sentences to easier expulsion of immigrant offenders. The Social Democrats have rejected that demand, arguing that it would make more sense to speed up criminal proceedings - and charging that Hesse has a particularly poor record in processing young offenders' cases
