"Offensive touching" can be battery.

Again, I repeat--if someone saw a person whooping on a dog the way some people whoop on their kids, they'd be going to jail for cruelty to animals. I am reminded that the first case of cruelty to a child was brought under an animal abuse statute because there was simply no conception that one could abuse their child prior to the end of the 19th century.

I was hit with a metal flyswatter as a kid back in the 1960s. In the long run, I don't think it taught me anything except how to be a better liar. What got my attention more, and kept me on the straight and narrow, was my father's statement that he wouldn't bail us kids out of jail. He demonstrated this by refusing to bail one of my cousins out. My cousin's coworkers had to pony up the money.

kids need discipline and if you believe in the bible then you will believe when it says do not spare the rod. they need to be taught right from wrong and some times it comes through a spanking, but if you teach them now then the spanking one seem like anything compared to the trouble that you will save them later down the road.

Im not talking about abuse, im talking about teaching them yes and when necessary to punish with a whoopin. sorry time outs dont work, lack of discipline on kids allows them to grow up with out the fear of reprocations.

the difference with a child and a employer which is a stoopid contrast is i have to live with the kid and i am responsible for their actions. A company can simply fire you i cannot simply fire my kids.

its this type of thing that has kids roaming around doing things they should not do knowing they are not going to get in trouble or punished, and then time when they are its just a little slap on the risk ..... no they need it. its the lack of concern for parents for the development of their child if they do not discipline and structure there child.
