I'm against physical punishment for children. I was hit with broom handles, shoes, hair brushes, fists, a belt, a broken umbrella, etc, as a child. I really fucking despise physical abuse against children.

My boyfriend has a cousin that is constantly acting out. He lies, he steals, he disturpts class-and he gets hit pretty regularly. It doesn't stop him from doing the things that he does. I'm pretty sure the punishment is making him worse.

Sounds like he may have much deeper behavioral problems, not necessarily exacerbated by the parents or punishment though. Spanking doesn't necessarily work all the time, but I still think it can be effective in some situations. It certainly isn't the holy grail of child discipline though.

But again I think the distinction needs to be made between abuse and spanking. I suppose what I used to get would be considered abuse nowadays (bruises), but I don't feel that way because even though I had a hard time with certain issues, I still feel like I was loved and cared for, but not coddled. But I'm lucky in that respect, other people are not so fortunate as that.

I agree with your post. I never did get any bruises since my parents' version of spanking was a simple hand-to-butt kind of thing.

This. I live in a place with rising gang violence and everybody's calling for more child beating and Jesus as the way to keep kids from joining up for a gun. But the young gangsters are very frequently among those who were beaten severely as kids and not reasoned with at all, even as they got older. Teach a kid that physical violence is how you get people to do what you want, of course the gang route seems logical. Dumbasses.

Yes! For me, the idea that hitting people is bad didn't sink in for the longest time because it was seen in my family as appropriate discipline. As I saw it, if my parents were allowed to hit my brother when he made them mad, why was it wrong when I did it?

severe beating and spanking are two completely different subjects.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Both involve striking someone with the intent to cause pain for displeasing you. How is a young child supposed to understand the nuances?

Not really tho. One is obviously worse than the other, but they're not different subjects. They're related because they're part of a continuum, and that should ALWAYS be kept in mind.
