And look how you turned out.Being a child that was beat depending on which way the wind blew, I know from experience that beating a child is non-productive....There are so many other ways of disciplining a child without violence...
Im on the opposite side..... corporal punishment was the ONLY thing that worked on me as a kid.
And look how you turned out.
LOL Everything is the woman's fault, according to your skewed take on reality--and you want to beat your kids. You're a good role model, not.
I guess I'll rephrase.BEATING a child is one thing. XXXX Mod Edit XXXX
There is no difference.The problem is now days...
... the courts don't discern between...
... beating and smacking a child...
... it's all wrong as far as they're concerned...
... without getting to the facts of the case...
... because their dockets are so overloaded...
... and all they want to do is plea the case resolved.
My mother, after dad died and I came home about a year later, tried to hit me again. I punched her in the face and her wig flew off. Even after all the beating she gave me as a kid and the mental abuse along with it....hitting her did not make me feel better. To this day, I can see the look on her face. I tried to kill myself after that, but was unsuccessful. That is when I knew I had to get away from her for good. Forever. And I did. I saw her maybe 3 times in 30+ years, give or take. I found out she died about 2 or 3 weeks after the fact. For me, it was just ....meh.My parents would NEVER hit me. Once I got a bit older, I would have taken their heads off had either one hit me. They did something WORSE. They fought with one another over whatever I had done. And those fights would go on for DAYS. I was the only kid I ever heard of that would lock herself in the closet just to get away from their fights. When I got to be about 12, I said fuck the lot of them and walk out.

Okay, y'all, you knew this had to be coming:
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
This was on the wall of my doctor's office when I was a little kid, and I think the positive stuff was listed first, but anyway, it's a point. Doesn't mean discipline isn't necessary, but as parents, we ARE our kids most important role models. Which is why most of ours turned out just fine, I'm sure.
Oh, it's been a long time ago. I'm an old lady now. I made it!
I think the courts work on the theory of more caution than not because so many children are being abused. Such violence toward children has always happened, most likely, but in our modern day society, we realize that beating children, locking them in closets, using abusive language and very harsh punishments is not okay. They are smaller than adults, weaker, and vulnerable. The way children were treated in the past, the way people looked the other way when parents were abusive, etc., is not okay with a more enlightened society.The problem is now days...
