See, that's the problem with kids today; parents shy away from spanking their kids because of all
the people out there who cry wolf. If a child thinks that he or she can screw you in a situation,
chances are they will push that envelope. If my child throws a temper tantrum and nothing works to
shut him or her up, I should be able to spank my kid without worrying about disapproving looks or
comments from the people around me; I'm not abusing the kid, I'm simply teaching them their
limitations and reinforcing it with a physical reminder. |

Spanking should be rare, specific to cause and effect, a last resort if possible, and never done to
the point of physical injury. HOWEVER, there are definitely scenarios where it is warranted - even
in public. If a kid is heaving rocks in the face of old ladies, laughing, saying no they want stop
and there's nothing you can do about it, then that's a fair spanking time - even IF it IS in public. |

Yeah. Kids get off easy now. Like me. I did. Not really good to be spoiled rotten... |

A lot of parents wont dicipline a child in public due to the embarrasment factor of causing a scene,
which probably means at that time, in that situation, the power is with the child, not the adult.
I say, kick the sht out the brats. |

I think tasing them might be more effective. |

Child buttock-battering vs. DISCIPLINE:
Child buttock-battering for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad
habit.
Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing, and learn how to DISCIPLINE
instead of hit.
I think the reason why television shows like "Supernanny" and "Dr. Phil" are so popular is because
that is precisely what many (not all) people are trying to do.
There are several reasons why child bottom-slapping isn't a good idea. Here are some good, quick
reads recommended by professionals:
Plain Talk About Spanking
by Jordan Riak,
The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children
by Tom Johnson,
NO VITAL ORGANS THERE, So They Say
by Lesli Taylor M.D. And Adah Maurer Ph.D.
Most compelling of all reasons to abandon this worst of all bad habits is the fact that
buttock-battering can be unintentional sexual abuse for some children. There is an abundance of
educational resources, testimony, documentation, etc available on the subject that can easily be
found by doing a little research with the recommended reads-visit www.nospank.net.
Just a handful of those helping to raise awareness of why child bottom-slapping isn't a good
idea:
American Academy of Pediatrics,
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,
Center For Effective Discipline,
PsycHealth Ltd Behavioral Health Professionals,
Churches' Network For Non-Violence,
Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
Parenting In Jesus' Footsteps,
Global Initiative To End All Corporal Punishment of Children,
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
In 26 countries, child corporal punishment is prohibited by law (with more in process). In fact, the
US was the only UN member that did not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child. |

Spanking? What were you thinking. Spanking a child will embarrass yourself and the child. An
effective chastisement or an angry growl at the child would be a considerable alternative.
The disciplinary training of a child must be done at home. It is difficult to discipline a child in
public. Physical abuse such as spanking is non-sensical. Disciplinary problems concerning a child
should be solved verbally. |
