Is controlling children ...abuse ?

Question

Is controlling children ...abuse ?

While attending a "workshop presentation" on child abuse a corruption of sorts was noticed.

First the model used was that of 'cult-feminists' a model that attacked men, ie child abuse = men who abuse, women and children victims. You will note the polarizing nature of this half-truth.

At the workshop the 'social worker' got up and stated that child abuse begins with a parent trying to 'control' the child.

What do you think ? Is "controlling' a child, child abuse ?

Answer 1

Too many people think they need to listen to these so called, social science experts. Politically correct nonsense that has no empirical support seems to be the bane of the child raising westerner. The rest of the world ( and I mean the Indians and the Chinese ) think we are hilarious in our child expert advice industry. You can see were it is taking our children academical, in comparison to others; nowhere. To answer your question; it was answered earlier as the obvious observation that we do control children, despite what this moronic social worker may think. The ideology and the lack of common sense were well represented in her answer. It is sad that this type of idiot is turned out by our universities, but there is wide variance in the rigor that university credentials require.

Answer 2

Yes. The social worker was being ambiguous, but hardly indirect. A person which controls itself is usually 'in control' unless the child has a degrading medical condition. Many adults/people fein control with external symbols. If you're not doing it--the person sitting next to you is. The parents misdirect the purpose of controlling children, but will respond with violence. Violence lessons developmental abolition.

Answer 3

It all depends on the degree of the use of 'controlling'. A lot of kids out there today (especially teen-agers) have no respect for anything, even themselves. When I was a child my Dad once or twice whacked me in the back of the head because of something I did. And I deserved it. I think a lot of parents today are afraid to dicapline their children. I think its leading to a destruction in certain areas of culture.
Now 'controlling' a child. To make them do things that can harm them or even rob them of a healthy upbringing is very harmful.

Answer 5

I can understand that as truth somewhat. If control in this case means dominating personal freedom. This isn't the same as controling the childs enviroment or guiding them, or teaching them to behave.

Answer 6

a child under 18 can't vote, can't drive and there are lots of cant's for them. but when they are controlled it is labeled as abuse. isn't it contradicting?

controlling isn't an abuse. how we controll matters to decide whether it is abuse or not.

Answer 7

I suppose it could be just like anything else, when taken to extreme. But in general that is your job, if the child is 'somewhat' controlled they will be safer (protection is your duty).

Answer 8

On some level
I think adults should just monitor kid's safety, but allow them to live & breathe & interact freely.
Adults can nuture w/o smothering.
Or programming.

Answer 9

No.. and if you've been out shopping lately, you'll wish that MORE people would control their children.
