Once a parent signs the order to get his child unwound, there is no turning back. However, if a parent does change his mind, and it is too late, how do you think the parent would feel?
"It had never occurred to Connor to consider the toll unwinding had on the ones who signed the order. He never thought he could have sympathy for a parent who could do that - or sympathy for one of the men who had made unwinding possible" (225).
I cannot imagine the guilt a parent would have after turning in their own child, then realizing that he or she wasn't really that bad after all. Do you think teens would behave more if unwinding was brought into society? Do you think it could be an effective threat, kind of like how parents threaten their children with coal for Christmas if they are naughty? Or would teens act generally the same?
