child abuse

[SundayPaper]

i think that spanking the kid on the butt not very hard but to teach them not to do it again is ok.
but shaking the POOP out of them and smacking them and hiting them with belts giving them welts that is child abbuse :eusa_thin

Talking is the key for any gd relationship

I think when your parents give you a slap or something for misbehaving, it is for the best. Being shouted at doesn't always work for some children.. It depends how and why you hit the child, which would be classes as Child Abuse.

[Moose]

Child abuse can also hurt the adult too, if it goes on, the child, as it grows and is still physically punished grows anger inside, and when finally, all the pressure inside explodes causing the (grown up) child to do something to the parent.

So i think child abuse is wrong.

Being hit or a week of grounding?

[Convictions]

well , i'd sooner have a hit than a week of grounding , a hit only hurts for a while , whereas grounding is borin'

[Dansk]

It has been said that it only counts as child abuse when the child is left with a bruse.
personaly i think it should be banned and your not allowed to hit your children!
ive been hit b4 and trust me it hurts!

What do you mean by banned? You can't temporarely ban child abuse.
To make it simple: Child abuse is illegal. - But I don't really care. My parents are nice to me.

[Mendonky]

thats not fair danks, you cannot be like that, only caring about ur own life. every day there are children abused, aqnd there are those of us that are trying to help. but the fact is, sometimes its not the parents abusing the child, ever heard of a "rougue baby sitter"? these are people who work as babysitters and abuse the child, and make excuses that the child "fell" or "bumped their head". these excuses are also used by the parents that abuse their child. this is sickening.

If I was a father I'd use smacking a kid the last resort if they were very badly behaved. I was smacked as a little kid, and it was for the most stupid things. It damages their self esteem, but when physical punishment is used at the right times, I would say it's quite effective. Got me pretty well behaved.. so hmm..

[Butcher11]

I'm against all hitting. And especially spanking, where kids are taught not to touch others people butts. That just throws away the concept of leaving people's bodies alone.

Parents who sexually abuse their children should get the death penalty :@ :@

but this does not answer when does punishment become child abuse, does it?
