Atticus does not let his children run wild, though according to many of societies prominents, such as Mrs. Dubose, Miss Stephanie and Aunt Alexandra, he does. Atticus has a very interesting and discerning style of raising his children, focusing primarily on a modeling approach. He genuinely believes that if he first models for his children the proper attitudes and actions, and then discusses openly the reasons for acting, thinking and speaking, that he can influence the ways that his children think, act and speak.
Essentially what Atticus is doing is challenging his children to hold themselves accountable. It's an excellent principle and would be applicable even today, but requires a very active parenting role. A parent cannot simply say, "don't do that!" The must instead discuss with the child why they cannot do things and then model those same actions themselves.
Atticus shoots the wild dog roaming around the neighborhood with Heck Tate's rifle.
Here is what Atticus says: "A mob's always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know -- doesn't say much for them, does it?" "So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses, didn't it?" ... "That proves something-- that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human."
Heck Tate is the sheriff of Maycomb county and warns Atticus about the mob that might try to take Tom Robinson from the jail one night, he also gets led off on a wild goose chase so that the mob can get to Tom Robinson. Heck Tate is as tall as Atticus but is thinner, he has a long nose and wears boots with shiny metal eye-holes, he also wears boot pants and a lumber jacket. Heck Tate's belt has a row of bullets sticking in it. He carries around a heavy rifle which Atticus uses to shoot a "mad" dog. Heck Tate beliefs that Tom is innocent but knows that he must arrest him because Bob Ewell says he in guilty of raping Mayella Ewell "Bob Ewell's daughter". At the end of the book Heck Tate says that he beliefs that Bob Ewell got what he deserved.
Atticus explains to Scout that the people in mobs there or anywhere else are the people are neighbors, friends and relatives. He tells her that what she said to Mr. Cunningham about his son, it snapped him back to reality and allowed him to remember that he was a neighbor, a father and a neighbor, not the type of man to get involved with mobs.
