Teenager Whoopin For Acting Hard On Facebook (Vid)

Actually, it does. Sorry to burst your bubble.


Totally and completely flawed logic.

Please, do not breed.

You see it as black or white. Child abuse if you touch him. Some other form of discipline is the only way.

In my opinion, there is a huuuuuge grey area involving discipline. My father did both. I got my TV, Nintendo, hanging outside with friends privliges taken away from me when it warrented. I also got the ***kicked out of me a few times when it was needed.

Looking back now, I think my Pop was very fair in his decisions. Sometimes the time-out/grounding method just doesn't work. Other times the *** whoopin didn't work. It depends on the kid and the infraction.

You tell a lie and get caught, like you weren't allowed out and you go out anyway when your parents are at work. You swear up, down and sideways you didn't go out but they found out, they ground you. No TV, Computer, Games or going outside for 2 weeks (or whatever).

You get caught stealing from a store. Store owner doesn't inolve the cops but tells your parents. When you get home, you get your *** whooped. Next time you go to take something, you remember getting knocked around and decide, meh...I think I'll pass.

I would never push my beliefs on anyone else. To each their own on how they want to raise their kids. This method worked for me growing up and I don't feel like I was ever abused. Every time I can remember being hit, looking back, I feel I deserved it.

As far as you saying all it does is teach violence...It doesn't mean I'm going to beat my kid every time he does something wrong. However, there are situations where I feel that a grounding just won't cut it. I hardly think it's a solution for idiots. It's a very difficult topic.

Like I said, this is just my opinion on the matter. You have a right to yours. I can agree to disagree with you. I mean you no ill-will. Please don't think this was an attack.

we don't always agree but I'm with you on this.

On a side note I am not saying you can't use force to prevent a child from doings something, like if a kid is about to hit you, you can move them etc. But to restrain somebody 1/3 of your size and beat them is just quite frankly barbaric.

nope, it's a solution for idiots. I don't care how one raises their children, but I do care when their children are being abused. Just because you fail to see why it's wrong, it is still wrong.

I would have removed internet access, simple as that, it's not even hard to do. Child abuse isn't disciplining them, it's abuse. All it does is teach them to solve their problems through violence, it's a solution for idiots.

Saying that spanking a child is the same as real child abuse, is like saying Caesar Milan and Micheal Vick use the same methods of training a dog.

To quote myself as some of you still didn't get it, read it, etc.
If you still don't see the flaw in your logic then I don't know what else to say.

spanking a child is child abuse, physically and mentally.

just because it's less severe doesn't make it not child abuse, that's like comparing a big gun to a small gun and saying the small one isn't a gun

there's no arguing with Jetackuu, he calls us narrow minded and stupid when in reality he is the one who is

Nothing againt Jet or Elan, but this is your argument:

-Whooping children makes them violent people (which we all know isnt true)
-Whooping children is child abuse (So is sending them to their room without food. Or any form of punishment. Its neglect. since you want to play that card)
-Whooping children causes irreversible pain (it dosnt. mental anguish is alot worse than physical. Last longer too)
-Your doing it wrong if you have to spank them.
-Whooping your child means your are not smart enough to think of anything else. (funniest one to me)
-Not whooping your kids is morally right. Cause you are bigger than that person.

You know what you guys sound like....like you belong on the Oxygen network baking cookies with Martha.

The only thing you have going for the argument is that its abuse by definition. Since, we all know that a reasonable person knows the difference between abuse and spankings; this leaves you with a lot of nothing. If you feel these misguided reasons are valid for not whooping your child....fine. But do realize that you are not doing yourself or your child any favors by turning the cheek to a milder punishment because of your desire to be on good terms with your conscience and your child. Get real.

And because you said it to another poster, I will reciprocate: Dont have kids!! They will grow to be whiny *** that believe any form of punishment is abuse.
