Answer 2

I AGREE! However part of the problem is that parents have ceded their rights in a round about way. In the rush to stop corporal punishment, they formed agencies like CPS and gave them carte blanche to ruin families on the slightest whisper of "abuse". And the kids are told over and over that they can't be spanked or paddled anymore. So now our kids are out of control and all the parents are sitting around scratching their heads and wondering what happened???

When I was a kid and the school called and told my parents that I did something wrong, as far a s my parents were concerned I DID IT! Now when the school calls, the parents say - "Oh no my child wouldn't do that. I asked him/her and they said they didn't do it and my child wouldn't lie to me".

Come on parents WAKE UP! Your kids lie all the time. Especially when they know they can get away w/ it and have their parents fooled. I know a LOT of parents just like this. They want to be their child's "friend". What a bunch of crap. It's just like being the boss, you can't be your subordinates friend and boss at the same time. You will lose control.

Now how do you spank someone and expect to get results and not leave marks? What do you spank them w/ - the proverbial "wet noodle"?

Answer 3

I too was spanked about once a month till I was 12 or so. Sure striking a child (or anyone) has immediate effects: you will see instantaneous behavior modification. But look at the bigger picture: spanking may not produce good results over the long run. Plus, like you, the child may learn that hitting somone is an acceptable and primary method of conflict resolution. Is this what you want?
Spanking should be and is an option, but it's a tool in your tool belt. Don't use the hammer when a flyswatter or conversation will produce better long-term results.

listen, I spank my kids when they need to be spanked. of coarse not everything they do requires a spanking but when needed I spank them. thats my right. I'm their mother and they are my children. and when my child tells me to "shut up" they will get a tap on the mouth. when my 5 year old uses a toy to put a whole in the wall after I have told him 7 times to not do it, he will get a spanking because he knew what he was doing was wrong and still chose to do the wrong thing. now many of you will say"you should never spank a child" and some will say"well the bible says"spare the rod, spoil the child". well the bible doesnt say what form of punishment to use. it doesnt say"if you dont beat or spank your child you are spoiling them" right. discipline comes in many forms not just spanking. so some will use that as an excuse as to why they beat their children. but there is physical discipline(spanking) and verbal discipline(sitting down with your child and telling them you are dissapointed in the choice they made etc). I have to say I am 50-50 on this issue. when needed I will spank and when not needed I will talk with my child. SIMPLE!

Answer 5

Look up "VOCAL" Victims of child abuse laws

They will have the information that you need.

This is a parental rights group that goes against the abuses of the state child "protective" services.

Did you know that state agencies get a bonus for every child they place so it is in their interest to take your child if your child is marketable rather than a crack baby?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do The Math! Approximately 7,600 reports of child abuse occur each day and over 7,200 are eventually classified as false allegations. Since only 400 are confirmed as valid cases, why are over 3,000 children taken from parents each day? Thats over 1,000,000 children every year. Why are billions of taxpayer dollars and hundreds of thousands of man hours wasted investigating false allegations of abuse? Why are kicking, screaming children forcibly removed from loving, responsible parents and placed in foster care where they are ten times more likely to be physically and/or sexually abused? The threat to the health and welfare of families is real, epidemic, and must be dealt with through effective Family Rights legislation.

Answer 6

Greetings. under present law you do not own your children, as in any other socialist state the state owns them and you are simply forced to raise them for the state. And to stand by and keep quiet when the state takes them away and sends them off to die in useless and unnecessary battles. Or uses them to fill prisons for profit. Under our laws parents are simply breeding units, as the former slaves of yesterday were on the plantations. The outcome of that breeding belongs to the owner of the slave, the state at present.

Answer 7

I have read what you wrote, are u trying to justify if it is truly ok to well as u put it a_s woopin your child ? I mean i remember the good ole belt, but nowadays its called child abuse. If you feel that urge to woop, maybe you should try and talk it out first.
Good Luck

Answer 8

Do what you have to do, and take responsibility for it.
If you have to check the laws I think you have a problem

Answer 9

In almost all Midwestern states spanking is legal as long as you do it in a rational manner. NO MARKS
