Whoa, man. You shouldn't be doing that with your teenage daughter, whether you wrap it or not.
Especially if she's crazy.

Osiris said:For the record: They pioneered this in MN long ago. Here's how I've seen it played out both in and out of uniform:
Fight happens at a home.
Someone calls 911.
Cops show up.
Cops remove whoever isn't in control of themselves.
While it had the intention of saving women who were being assaulted by out of control dudes, it usually ends up with the woman being taken away because she's the one in hysterics by the time the cops show up.
Sp5 said:More than one state has arrest as the preferred response to a domestic incident. As has been pointed out, mandatory arrest could run afoul of the 4th, 5th and 8th Amendments in the USA. In any event, you have to get a hearing before a judge as soon as possible (don't get arrested Friday night).
You have to distinguish between general definitions of "abuse," like on that DOJ website, and the legal definitions of crimes defined as domestic violence. Only those things which are real crimes (assault, assault and battery, threats of violence) can be prosecuted.
In the USA, "emotional abuse" like "excessive criticism" is not a crime and you can't be arrested for it.
