There's a fine line between beating a child, and disciplining. There is nothing wrong with discipline, beating is abuse period.
Light sabers Mine used hand, paddle, fly swatter, belts, etc.. Nothing as cool as a light saber tho?
if you all read the child abuse laws you'll see that what you endured as a child is considered abuse today not discipline. there's a fine line between the two. also not all kids have to be physically disciplined to be taught a lesson. if a kid continues to do the same thing over and over after getting slapped about with a belt, shoe, hanger, spoons, extension cord, etc...then the whoopings aren't working. time to try other alternatives. there may be some other underlining issues going on.
Spanking a child is not against the law ?, although therapist do not recommend it. If it leaves bruises it's completely different. Point blank is that spankings should not be a parents only form of discipline, there are others factors and ways like rules and things of that nature.
My butt and thighs got whooped by a clothe hanger. Had a few scratches and bruises. It was painfully horrifying. The deadly ass whooping hanger broke to pieces after a few hits to my thighs. Ow.
How do you get smacked with a hanger? LOL. I just tried it on myself. Was very awkward. Doesn't work well, either.
I'd rather have been disciplined the way I was than've grown up to be like the brats I see nowadays. Everywhere I go whether it be the mall or in the street, bratty kids everywhere that annoy the shit out of me and tempt me to punch them in their bratty faces.
I never said spanking was against the law. I said what some said that they've endured is considered abuse. I live in Texas and has read the family code over and over as I've worked in that field for many years. parents are going to jail here for doing the things you all say happened to you.
Point blank, my children will be disciplined the way I was, so they turn out like me. If the law doesn't like it they can arrest me. I was never left with bruises or marks, but my parents didn't put up with any bullshit, and I was responsible for my actions. You also forget that many of the people who say they were beat with hangers and so fourth live in different countries, quite frankly I think that's what's wrong with America today. They're afraid to discipline their children because the law says they can't, and they let them get away with murder practically, so they grow up learning they can get away with pretty much anything.
I agree with Anya. Im a perfect example of changing times. Im my mothers oldest. When I grew up, I was scared to disobey her and was respectful to everyone, including other kids. Now she has more kids (around the same ages as mine). She no longer discilines how she did to me and her kids are horrendous. They ignore her, she repeats herself nonstop, takes away toys, electronics, they don't care. They have no fear of the consequences. MY kids on the other hand, know better. While I'm not as bad as my mother was to me, they have gotten a well-deserved spanking on the hand or butt, as well as time outs and groundings. They are mostly well behaved, very polite to adults and respect others, not bragging, and I didnt luck out with baby genious, I just taught them well. Kids now disgst me and I wont let mine grow up that way. They WILL be good people if it kills me, or sometimes hurts their little bums.
I saw that video of a father beating his daughters with some TV cord for making a twerking video It looked painful as fuck It was so intense to watch lop
