IF YOU SPANK YOUR CHILD, YOU HAVE COMMITTED AN 'ASSAULT AND BATTERY'-BY LAW.
THEORETICALLY SPEAKING, IF A MAN WERE TO 'SPANK' (HIT ON THE BUTT) A WOMAN AS A SEXUAL OR AFFECTION GESTURE, THE WOMAN COULD, BY LAW, HAVE THE MAN ARRESTED FOR 'ASSAULT AND BATTERY'.
IN TODAYS SHOW, THE BOY THAT WAS 'PADDLED' IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL FITS THIS VERY CRITERIA. THE SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT THAT WAS CONTACTED HAS A BUNCH OF 'LUNATICS' WATCHING THE STORE. THEIR JOB IS 'TO PROTECT AND SERVE' AND THEY FAILED TO PROTECT AND ABSOLUTELY DIDN'T SERVE IN THIS CASE.
IF I WERE THE MOTHER, I WOULD CONTACT 'LEGAL AID', IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE MEANS TO HIRE A LAWYER, AND PURSUE LEGAL AVENUES FOR COMPENSATION, IF ONLY A PUBLISHED APOLOGY IN THE LOCAL PAPER.
AS PARENTS, IT IS OUR 'DUTY' TO 'PROTECT AND SERVE' OUR CHILDREN IN ANY WAY, AT ANY COST. THEY ARE OUR FUTURE. WE DON'T NEED A FUTURE OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE MISTRUST FOR OUR LEGAL SYSTEM, OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, AND A MISTRUST OF PARENTS AND PEERS.
I AM A 61 YR. OLD DAD TO 3 GROWN CHILDREN WHO HAVE GIVEN ME 3 WONDERFUL GRANDSONS. ONLY ONE TIME IN MY WHOLE LIFE AS A 'FATHER' HAVE I EVER SPANKED A CHILD OF MINE 'SEVERLY. IT WAS AN OPEN HAND SPANKING ON THE BARE BUTTOCKS OF MY OLDEST SON ,BECAUSE OF A SITUATION THAT WAS 'LIFE ENDANGERING'. I DID NOT SPANK OUT OF ANGER. I SPANKED, OUT OF FEAR, TO REINFORCE MY RULE ABOUT PLAYING WITH FRIENDS AROUND A LAKE THAT HAD LARGE ROCKS AROUND IT INSTEAD OF A BEACH.
I WELCOME ANY AND ALL COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS TO THE ABOVE POSTING. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS WITH ANY AND ALL OF YOU WHO SHARE MY PRINCIPLES.
THANX FOR LISTENING. GOD BLESS.

Ed, Every state in the Union has parent laws that cover such issues as spanking a child. There is nothing wrong with spanking a child to inforce rules. You usually only have to spank a child a few times for them to get the hint that you mean business. Spanking is in the bible and is very effective. I use it as the "last resort" punishment and it works. I have 8 children and all of them respect me and my husband. |

Ed, by my read, it looks like you're contradicting yourself. You oppose spanking, yet you yourself admit you are guilty of it. This is what I mean about spanking, when done appropriately and in a measured way, not to vent frustrations of the parent or teacher, does no long term harm to a child, in fact it does the opposite, helping reasonable parents and teachers impose and enforce limits that are necessary to a child's future well being and helping make that child a productive and respectful member of society. Some children don't need to be spanked, but some do. Effectively banning spanking, by making the government prosecute parents and teachers, doesn't take into account the complicated nature of different child personalities. Some children need stronger 'medicine' than others and certain parts of the body like the buttocks have been effectively designed by God/Nature to absorb this type of medicine. We should not try to impose yet unproven standards and methods on everyone ex. banning spanking, without carefully putting newer methods of discipline through the test of time to prove their long term effectiveness.
