Do you still believe in Corporal punishment?

The thing that struck me was the Father's reaction.
He just acted very docile, tried to appease the child,
reason with him,and basically let the kid act out and control
the situation.

Are many Parents today afraid of their kids?? If that was
my father or mother they would have tore by butt up
no Qs asked.

I recently talked to a parent in my church and was
astounded at their liberal views of corporal punishment.
i think they might have read too many Doc. spock books??

I'm not advocating abuse or always whippin' on a kid
for anything, I'm mostly talking about Kids who have
been allowed to take over the household by way of
manipulation

I agree and it's shocking how so called Apostolics have
bought into (brainwashed) secular thought on this topic.
we can clearly see where it's led us as a Nation (along with
taking prayer out of the school and other things).

Even in my own church, we have had situations where
church members threatend to turn in other members to
CPS because they witnessed them spanking their child in
the restroom. what a hot mess

Is spanking against the law in CA?

Here in OK, the state passed a law stating that parents have the right to spank their child. I see parents swatting their kids in the middle of the mall or Target, and no one even blinks an eye. LOL!!!

The worse parenting episode I have ever seen--I was visiting Jeff when he was working in NC, and the kids and I went to wash clothes at a local laundry. This woman came in with her daughter, (the daughter appeared to be about 12), and the woman was ordering her daughter around using the foulest language I have ever heard an adult use with a child, things like, "you F.... Bi***, You're such an F**** idiot, and much more than I can even refer to on this forum!!!! My mouth was open, and I moved my children outside (Sarah had looked at me in total shock, Hannah was too busy drawing to notice) and out of earshot.

What I remember most is that girl caught my eye, and looked SO ashamed, I hurt for her. To be humiliated like that in public, and treated that way by someone who was supposed to love her...ridiculous and shameful!

I firmly believe it is the breakdown of the HOME and parental immorality that has led to children behaving the way they do. You can "discipline" all you want, but if, at the end of the day, the child feels unloved and unsafe, the discipline won't accomplish anything.
