I got the same "old school" discipline growing up I think most people did. That doesn't make it right and that doesn't mean you as a parent have to be that way. http://goodparent.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Ferguson13.pdf Page 8 go to #14
Dad gum it why cant things be the way they were 50 years ago. We could hit women when they acted out, hang blacks from the nearest tree, beat the shit out of anyone who was gay. Those were the days
No it is not, kids still get hit with belts in the ass. I think it's accepted but again you don't know the story.
Criminals are criminals it doesn't matter what color they are. I just know that "Gettin' the switch" is a lot of black parents from back in the days way of disciplining their kid. I can speak from my own experience. Don't pull that black crime shit you're starting a whole different argument that doesn't need to be started.
I got belted in the ass. The ass is padded with fat. It can take a spanking. Getting switched on the muscle of the inner thigh to the point of lacerating the skin and being hit in the scrotum is much more painful, cruel, and unnecessary. It's abusive.
If you get your ass handed to you with a leather belt couldn't you potentially receive a cut? Maybe your parents were pussies lol It's not abuse.
Abusive behavior is beating the shit out of a kid for no apparent reason. You don't know the story therefore you should shut the fuck up about it. Put down the avatar.
And what possible reason would there be FOR beating the shit out of a four-year old kid? Is the kid threatening him with a machine gun? Come on now.
Could have easily did what I did when I was younger, step all over your mother's flowers. Slap your mother in the face?
I punched my mom in the gut once when I was 5 or so, and to this day I think to myself how I would beat the shit out of that kid if I had the chance.
Just like i said earlier in the post.. AP is from the south where it happens a lot. In his statement he said he injury wasn't his intent, that's how he was disciplined as a child himself. Some of you are acting as if he was stabbing the kid or beating his head in with his fist. He whooped his legs and they left some marks..Big whooop they'll be gone by Monday. The media just needs something to leach on especially in the wake of the Ray Rice shit it's just helping them stay alive and pollute minds with their opinions. A man just took his sons life last year due to physical abuse.. i'm sure he knew his limit.
i have 2 kids. one is 8 the other 3. the 8 y.o. i spank every night before she goes to bed. i tell her i heard what she did and i better not hear about it again. most of the time i don't know what she might have done wrong but she always does. i am thinking i won't have to do it with the 3 y.o. she sees whats happening
