Child forced to drink own urine

Especially six year olds need to be smacked. I was smacked by my parents and my school. They were not taking their anger out on me, but showing me my actions were unacceptable. I was a child and it was language I understood.

Smacking children may be required in certain extreme scenarios, when other actions have been exhausted or aren't available, but in general it's a pretty stupid and destructive thing to do. It may have worked out fine for you, but for many parents it's basically a quick and easy, short-term solution to controlling a child when they can't be arsed to parent properly.

I was beaten when I was a kid and so were my siblings, but our parents had good reasons to do so. Life for most working class parents these days is a walk in the park compared to what my parents experienced, yet they rarely resorted to physically discipline and even then it was controlled and just enough to get us in line (when in all honesty, we were really being a real pain in the backside). We all turned out fine too, all nine of us! :p
 
To the OP I think you will find the police have people that are trained for these situations, so there's every chance that it maybe a police person who turns up but in plains clothes as to not scare the child.

Seriously phone the police and do it now.

Parents smack children, I have smacked my boys when it was required doesn't mean I am a bad parent or person

Yes it does. You're hitting someone who has nobody else to protect him and who cannot fight back. You're abusing the most vulnerable person you have access to. Only a coward would find this behaviour even close to acceptable - It's disgusting and pathetic.

I know what you meant. They're good at telling lies, but not good at lying. :)

Yes, that has summed it up excellently.
For over 2 years when I was working with kids I attended at least one Child Protection meeting a month and every 'expert' said the same thing which is basically kids of that age are not good at lying.
 
Child abuse aside, does this method work? Lots of people would frown at whisky on the gums for babies that are teething, but it does work...

Don't be silly, do you have children?, the 2 times I smacked my child were more to scare him from doing what he was doing, I needed to show him that what he was doing was extremely dangerous, he was not old enough to understand my words, he did not do either thing again, I would argue that I am abusing my child if I did not smack him, effectively letting him do something extremely dangerous.

Hitting and smacking are separate things, the smack is more for shock value, makes the child think " what I am doing must be really naughty for me to be smacked".

A child too young to know what he was doing, who under your supervision was put in an 'extremely dangerous' position... Strong.
 
Meh. If you we're genuinely concerned OcUK would not be your first port of call.

Call social services, the po po will do **** all but social services will be all over them.

IMO tell your son to **** in their orange juice next time he needs to go at night round their house. Also uncle-mother??
 
People this thread isn't about whether you agree with smacking or not, search the forums for the last time that was discussed and realise most of you posted back then about it.

Yep, you do not have children so cannot comment. Of course if you did have children you will wrap them I'm Cotten wool and keep them in a padded room where there is not gas cooker, electrical points, electrical equipment, anything to climb up, etc.
