That was abuse, plain and simple. I was only able to watch 2 minutes of it.
A swat on the butt to keep them in line is one thing. To make a child bend over a bed while you beat them with a belt is quite another. I don't understand how people can beat their child with belts, but if someone did it to a dog it would be abuse. If you can't whip a dog with a belt, don't whip your child with a belt!
I was told to bend over the bed and momma whooped me with a wooden paddle. I deserved every ounce of it.
Spanking, with a belt or other object, isn't abuse. Unless they are beating you bloody, it's called punishment. It's more abusive to not spank your kids behinds than it is to do so.
Y'all might not believe this, since I am so sweet and nice. But, I got lots of spankings when I was a kid. Some deserved, others not so much. But, boy I tell you, I hated the switches!!!!!!
My youngest brother is 13 years younger than me. Us older 2 boys told him spankings were funny and laugh. Years later he came up to me and said, I lied.
They hurt worse when he laughed because dad hit harder.
Jesus loves you all and if I had kids I would go out and buy ice cream and eat it in front of them if they were bad, then laugh because they got none. I tried it with one of my cats, she was beating on the deaf cat I have. I held her while she watched driscoll eat canned cat food. That mean little cat punched me in the nose for real.
No, that part ? no ! And without the cursing i might add. Having said that i only used a belt once or twice on my son (when i caught him stealing from about 10 different stores then i made him take back everything returnable and he worked and paid me back for that which wasnt returnable) and the other time maybe when he hit his mother, though she deserved it ,one of my daughters, i never spanked ,didnt have to, my other daughter i only spanked once,i then apologized later, because i did it with too much anger.all of my children turned out wonderful ,despite their mother being a terrible example, what she did to them in private i dont know, i do know she was very abusive verbally and some physically too, they would never tell me what, i really couldnt ask for better children, my son is a perfect gentleman.Im a happy man, though i wish he would go back to church

We'll never know all the details. While I don't agree someone, specifically a woman, deserves to be hit, there are those times where one has to stand up for themselves. Disrespecting parents should never amount to repeated hitting from the parent. But, again, we'll never know all the details. And I certainly don't expect canam to reveal them...
