I'm not condoning it, but it is common practice. I've been around it my whole life. Did AP go to far, yes but the the guy I quoted said "tortured" which it wasn't. AP didn't beat his kid for pleasure. Huge difference.

Sorry wing...he beat his kid. Why he did it is irrelevant. The fact that he did it is what matters.

And the scary part is that he thinks he did nothing wrong. That tells me that he is likely to do it again.

Those who can't see the diff in what he did and acceptable discipline levels are amazing to me.

And, just because it was common practice in the past, it does not make it right.

Personally, I dont see anything wrong with being whooped with a hickory switch, but I do agree he went too far or was unable to stop himself.  Like I said, my main disagreement is with the use of the word torture.  I've heard many times now in reference to this and its not torture.  it may be a form of child abuse, but he wasn't torturing his kid.

Peice of trash gets what he deserves.

 

Beating your kid to this extent is a lazy, pathetic way to make up for your lack of ability to parent. We've learned so much since the 'old days' when people routinley beat their kids. Psychology has taught us a lot, all kids (in fact most) do not do well being beaten. This is a fact, backed up by mountains of research, not just in this cultures but even others where morals are claimed to be more relative.

 

To ignore what research is telling us just because 'people den der done it in the past' is beyond idiotic. The past is meant to be learned from, not repeated. As shown in countless topics and subjects, the past is simply outdated. I have 4 siblings and we were all beaten very harshly as kids, scars, black eyes and broken bones. I am ok, my other siblings aren't and that's because it affected them differently.  A lot of people who beat their children are simply too lazy, and too stupid (either by lack of effort or by modeling after their own parents, a lot of times both) to parent them properly and beating them is an easy out.

 

Kind of like beating your dog to do what you want vs. actually using your intellectual resources and training them to do wha tyou want. One is easy, quick and works. The other takes time, patience and requires skills and effort in obtaining knowledge, while not as easy, is intellectually beneficial to both parties.

I need to see some receipts of the child's "scritum" and "teaticles" getting bruised and bloody. A lot of us have been whipped with switches that left marks and we're still living without any problems. Hardly any torturing going on. That's what our gov.... never mind wrong side of the board.

"Without any problems"....that is up for debate

Switches leave welts and cut the skin easily. They should be off limits.

My dad spanked me with a belt plenty of times when I was a kid.

And if you asked him today if he regrets it, he would tell you yes.

Teach your kids respect and proper behavior and you don't have to lay a hand on them for discipline . If you find that you need to "whoop" your kid's ass, you more than likely have failed as a parent.
