 I have chosen not to use spanking as a punishment in my parenting, but that's mostly from my own experiences of having been spanked as a child.  My mom used the fly swatter, because I was always freaked out by bugs.  Mostly, I got spanked for being sulky or sassy.  And, whoo boy!!  did I ever get REALLY sulky and sassy after I was spanked.  I remember one time when I did not speak to nor look at my mother for two days because she spanked me.  Maybe my mother should have taken spanking lessons from your mother!
 I have a son who is adhd with delays his dad hits him. the child is told to say nothing.  DSS ignores the abuse. The child has been hit by his dad since three, when the dad lied to get him.  He has had socks stuffed in his mouth. He has also been molested. North Carolina looks the other way as the dad continues to abuse the child and to expose him to sex.  The dads mom is lumbee indian and was a mom who was at bars and messing around and neglected her boys. The lumbee family lie for the dad and cover for the abuse. the father of my son was having sex at 12. got a 12 yr old pregnant when he was 15.  I am a mom who is fighting for her son in a state that looks the other way at abuse.  I have heard about getting a switch, if that were my child... Well why don't they care enough to do the right thing?
