There is a line where spanking crosses over into abuse, I personally think that line was crossed here. JMO
Also as far as courts steeping in someone has to protect children as they are incapable of protecting themselves. They are defenseless. His defense was it was how he was raised and all he knew- well that is BS cause I had my ass beat as a kid and I damn well know better than to do it to my children.

^^^^ I agree with this..... I was hit with belts and switches and shit..... I won't use one on my daughter.

I am with you on this I only used my hand and most of the time is was pretty gentle. My dad on the other hand looked like f*****g ZORO when he whipped his belt off.

Lmao that shit made me laugh..... That's how my old man was sometimes. He was good with flicking a dish towel too

My mom used a ping pong paddle. Damn that thing stung. My dad used the belt, only 2 times I can remember and 1 time he made me go out and choose a branch off the weeping willow tree. I dont remember that one being very bad, it was more of a scare tactic and worked. lol

I only use my hand when spanking the wife.

Agreed. If any of you walked past some kid getting hit like this and ignored his screams for help I would say you have some issues.

Ah, it was only a well meaning gentle swat to the buttocks, intended to teach, as loving parents do with regularity.

I think one of the things that has come out of this is that it is important to realise that spankings sometimes escalate and are no longer spankings.

[Hazard]

Here's how I see it..... A "spanking" is acceptable. I do not mean to the point of making a child bleed. Spankings should be reserved for the worst of times.

As a parent you have a duty to instill good qualities in your child. It's your job to teach them right from wrong. You start this very early on and if you keep on it they learn pretty quick. Along the way they will test you..... But the spankings are reserved for those things that they KNEW they shouldn't do and do anyways. If you constantly hit your kids it won't have any affect and if anything can teach them that hitting is okay. When you save it for the worst of behaviors it has a way more powerful affect.

Again it's not to physically hurt your child.... It's the "shock" factor and they learn not to doit anymore.

Hitting is not a primary teaching tool

Working! A ton.....

I just left last night for North Carolina. Will be here for a few days. I just got back from 5 days in Florida a week ago.... And in August I was in Puerto Rico for a week. There was also a 2 day trip to Ohio in there somewhere.

The hardest part about this job is maintaining any kind of a diet. It's killing me

Did you get any bitches with big asses in Puerto Rico?

I agree with all this, and your view sounds pretty reasonable, but I think it can be done without spanking (and it has been, at our house). For me, and based on the evidence I have looked at, I am not convinced that spanking doesn't have broader implications and I don't see any reason to risk the negative correlations that the researchers find, and since I don't have to, I don't.

It doesn't quite sound like you think spanking is necessary to achieve those aims with children, but I'm not sure, although I am curious.

I wonder if there is anyone reading here who spanks, who was not themselves hit as a child?

[2iron]

I currently have a 4 yo and a 3yo 14months apart. They both weigh roughly 45lbs. (My younger is big) any how. I discipline with spanking. My personality is a fly off the handle type. So when I spank my kids I am regrettably in wrong frame of mind. And still I have yet to spank my kids with anything other than my hand on there butt. They are just to small.

Ap beat his kid. He has to be sick to not realize the type of fear and pain he inflicted.

[Euroholic]

Dad use to hit me and lock my sister in a room in the dark for a day or 2 with just some water. Both methods were not very effective because once it happens you know you can go threw it again. So the only way to keep punishing the child is to up the intensity. Which the parent usually backs down.

[< <Samson> >]

I swear, some people(quite a few) should not have kids

[lovbyts]

One word. VALIUM.

OK and one piece of scientific proof. Look at society/kids today compared to when spanking was the norm. Day vs night.

Ok, you have to be trolling now, because it's impossible that anyone is that daft.

I know :-/ once I get back I think ill be grounded in jersey again for a bit. We've got nothin in the works that requires a trip.

Lmao they were everywhere but no. Funny story tho.....

I was on the beach with my coworker and decided to take a walk down the beach. It was a beautiful beach with women everywhere. So I start walking and hit a dead patch of beach. It was weird.... Like a 200 foot stretch that no one was on. On the other side of it was house music blasting so I wanted to check it out. I called back home to speak to my family while I was walking. I get to the other side and while on the phone I hear all this whistling. I look..... It was a gay party. Couldn't have been a gay beach but probably like 75 dudes with a good 30 people looking at me walk by haha. I felt like a piece of meat :-( lmao!

It was funny tho..... I tried to get my coworker to go down that way but couldn't convince him haha

You loved it ! High light of your trip! !

Something I noticed in looking at pics again were the 4 yo has marks on back of his hands forearms. He was trying to protect himself and the hits kept coming.

Well we all know that since you are a woman (the jury is still out on that one) if you say the sun rotates the earth it must be true.

The one thing that does make me lean toward believing you are a woman is the fact you like to argue with someone even if they agree with you. Typical.

this is your way of admitting your argument is weak at best?

I got my ass beat growing up and deserved every one of them...

[Rwy]

Does anyone know that last year Adrian Petersons kid with another women was killed by her current boy friend at the time? The bf beat him to death

So he should be even more sensitive to the subject. The NFL is imploding and years of letting these guys do what they want because they are freak athletes is coming back and biting them in the ass.

[Times Roman]

well, I read all the above arguments and points of view. I will say this

My father was almost 300 pounds, and close to twice my size or more, the entire time I was growing up. Yes, I was a handful, i'll give him that. But his quick temper and undeniable lack of non violent disciplinary skills made him a tyrant. And he was worse when he drank, which was often. Fear was a part of family life, and how I felt about him. With such strong emotions in play, fear morphs into other strong negative emotions later in life. Although I do not act on my impulses (this is, after all, what separates us from animals, impulse suppression), my first impulse to conflict quite often is violence. It's what I learned from my father. And it took me many years to learn this control. It's like my body gives me a shot of adrenaline, my muscles tense, my heart races, and for a moment, sometimes my fists clench as if I'm going to take a swing. And then it's over in a split second.

Thanks dad,
for teaching and training me that all the ass kickings you've generously bestowed on me in life is how I should deal with situations that don't go my way. It's really helped a lot, with all the fights I've gotten into, and all the trouble I've gotten into with the law.
Your loving son,
---Roman

Umm... He beat a 4 year old with a tree branch..

[davidtheman100]

I love how people are trying to justify beating up a 4 year old with a tree branch

[lovbyts]

They are not trying to justify it but give another perspective. Its not always abuse but I lean towards abuse or at least my excess when it leaves marks several Days later.

He's 4. There's no other perspective.

In this case or any that leave marks like that no not really but that's not to say spanking is never right. As the saying goes, dont throw the baby out with the bath water.

[Times Roman]

I think that what I've seen and observed, growing up, spanking was the norm, and was the primary means of discipline, which I do not agree with. Today, for me at least, it is a "last resort" type method of discipline. I was chatting with someone on this very subject recently, and I think what we need to do is change our perspective on the relationship we have with our children.

We are, in effect, custodians, not owners of our children. A custodian is someone that holds something of value in trust, until at some later date, custody is handed over to the true owners, the children. We do not own our children like we do our pets. We protect and guide them until they are ready to take control for themselves.

My dad treated me as if he owned me, and could do what he wants with me, including kicking my ass on a semi regular basis
