MASSENA — The Massena Police Department wants parents to take responsibility for disciplining their children rather than bringing them to the police station and asking officers to put children in handcuffs or jail cells.

“Please do not bring your children to our station wanting us to discipline them for something that you as a parent/guardian should be handling at home,” they said in a Facebook posting directed at parents and guardians.
