ORIGINAL: kittinSol Well, I, for one, am glad that anybody beating their child is putting themselves out for judicial retribution. In those times you so much long for, children didn't carry guns to school, but they would grow up to beat each other up, to beat their siblings up, and eventually, their own offsprings. As for street violence, I shudder when I think of the American Wild West, or indeed, Victorian London. I don't call that a good thing. Someone may have already pointed this out (I didn't read the whole thread), but there is a difference between beating your child and disciplining your child. I was spanked as a child, and while it wasn't very physically painful, the embarrassment was enough of a deterrent to keep me in line most of the time. That's discipline. I knew what was good and bad behavior, because when I did something bad, my parents would punish me for it. A lot of kids today don't get punished properly, and they don't learn until it's too late what civilized behavior is. Beating your child means hitting them for no good reason, out of anger or frustration, or more severely than neccessary for disciplinary purposes. The child learns nothing except to imitate that behavior and is often traumatized as a result. yep already touched on but glad there is someone else out there that knows the difference
