If you dont beat your child....

that is some crazy shit

....If he had slapped my child I'd have stuffed is hand so far up his ass Jaques fucking Cousteau couldn't have found it with a mini sub 😈

I have been guilty of the opposite. I once walked up to someone beating on a kid and told them to stop in such a way that it indicated that there would be consequences if they didn't. The person didn't like it but the result was the one I was after.

This was after reading an article that suggested that it was O.K. to do that. Felt good anyway.

I would have cold cocked the guy. Only becuase Tommy has such cold lips.

My child is perfect and never cried in public. My wife on the other hand. Please someone slap her.

I wouldnt do it but some parents kids neat a firm ass beating IMO

Surprised i wasn't slapped in Walmart when i was a toddler. I am sure this girl couldn't yell as loud as i could. Heck i am lucky to be alive.

I have never laid a hand on my Daughter, but I would if need be. The thing is, if your more intelligent then the child you should not need to beat them.

From my perspective it's not whether or not a child needs more discipline but whos job it is to do it. I have seen kids carry on in resturants and in department stores. I thought about saying something to the parent ( in some cases I have), never the child. It's the parents responsibility to teach the child. The child is just being what he or she is, a child.

I think it's screwed up that this guy hit a child that isn't his.

In reality, if he had even asked the woman to calm her child,

she would have gone into bitch mode anyways. In this case,

a supportive look to the mother would have been more than

enough to convince her that her hellion child was getting on

everyone elses nerves.

I'm one that honestly believes that children need discipline.

I use my own childhood as an example. Growing up, I was a

demon. As a result, I got my ass whipped for it. Needless to

say I got my ass whipped a LOT. The older I got the worse

they got. My last ass-whipping occurred when I was 15.

My father somehow decided to gain a conscience and swore

that he would never spank my 2 little brothers who were aged

10 and 8 at that time. They were demons, too.

Now we're all grown up and my youngest brother died last

October at the age of 29 from complications due to years

of drug abuse. My other brother is a convicted felon many

times over who also has a fight to stay sober every day.

Unfortunately, it took the death of our baby brother to wake

him up and show him his fate.

I honestly believe that my fathers decision to not discipline

them old-school is what lead them on that path. I also think

that that is where modern society has gone wrong as a

whole. The majority of today's youth are so disrespectful

and lazy. They honestly believe with every fiber of their

being that the world owes them something. I think it's all

because someone else decided that we are no longer

allowed to raise our children as we see fit. Now, CPS comes

and decides whether or not we deserve jail time or to have

our kids taken from us. The part that kills me is that ALL the

CPS caseworkers I know don't even have children!!! Don't

know about you guys but I wouldn't take my care to a

mechanic who has never owned a car. I don't care how

many classes he's attended.

Now, not every child needs to be spanked. There is a large

portion that are naturally just great kids. They are hard-

working and have strong moral values. My oldest daughter

is about to turn 17 and I have never once had to spank her.

She is number 1 academically in her class of 450+ students

and she is just the best child a parent could ask for.

My 2 youngest are both special needs. My 9 year old

daughter is autistic and epileptic and my 7 year old

son is autistic. I've only spanked them a few times and

that was only when they did something life-threatening:

Like playing with matches or knives or things like that.

They are great kids. They are both heavily medicated,

as well. When they build up a tolerance to their meds,

it is definitely obvious. They go from well controlled kids

to something that makes the baby in the story above look

like a perfect angel.

Along time ago, my wife and I realized that we could not take

our children to Wal-Mart or anywhere else in public because of

their conditions. My wife and I have only been grocery shopping

together 4 or 5 times in 10 years. One of us always stays home

with the kids while the other runs errands.

Now that my kids are older and heavily medicated, they are a lot

easier to reason with so we do take them places. They still have

their out-bursts but those stop the minute they get taken out to

the car to stay with me for the duration of that visit.

All in all, the guy screwed up for hitting someone elses child but,

at the same time, the mother screwed up by failing to control her

child and not caring about those people around her.

No apologies needed. It is something that you feel passionately about and a good read. It is a shame about your brothers. Hopefully it is not too late for your other brother to turn his life around.

All I am going to say is DID you see that guys mug shot, lol that just says it all. He looks so unhappy with life, poor soul.

(P.s. I do disagree completely with what he did)

A parent should have the right to discipline their kids in any way they choose short of causing phyical injury.

But I repeat that should only be undertaken by the parent. If I ever catch a stranger physically discipling my boys he'll suffer as damage as I can can inflict on him. The really sad part is that in Wisconsin they'll prosecute you for fighting back in your own or another's defense so I know I'd end up put away for awhile.
