Would you SLAP your child..?

if i see a child getting hit i make sure the offending person knows what its like to be hit or slapped by a adult to see how they like being hit when theres nothing they can do about it, its just simply not on, its assault in every way, no matter how you look at it

Don't talk pap.

You see a child getting slapped in a shop.

so you go over and slap the parent?

I don't believe you.
 
I was 'clipped' when I was bad and I believe it kept me in line, despite not believing so at the time.

So yes, my children [if I have any] will likely get the same treatment - wife permitting. :p

As mentioned above, there's a line between a little 'correction' and beating seven bells out of them to relieve anger unrelated to the child.

Then you are no better yourself.

A walking contradiction I'm afraid.

yeah, its a shame how some people get so self righteous about this kinda thing.

I mean, I can understand if he is sayin he would intervene if a child was getting knocked about, but if he thinks its ok to come over and slap a parent who is dealing with their child wrecking a shop, then he is mistaken.

try to understand, i think that the majority of us here are sayin we would give our kids a light smack if they really crossed the line on something.

We are not advocating the abuse of children through excessive violence.

... what are you talking about ?

in answer to the question "would you slap your child?"

I personally don't believe in hitting a child, so no I wouldn't hit my own child.
When I see a child getting a slap / arse smacked for doing something wrong and I'm out and about, I want to go over and tell the parent to stop it, but I don't think I'd ever do it, it's not my place. I would if the parent for example properly punched their child, but they're not, they're just giving them a little slap, just because I don't agree with something doesn't make it wrong, it's just my opinion.

I honestly understand why people slap their children, and I don't think their is anything too wrong with it, as long as it's not a forceful slap, just a little one to let them know the limits.

Not in every case it doesnt.

Anyhoo, due to your previous experiences I doubt that we can agree on that.

However I would like to point out that I was flapped, clipped, slapped for only serious wrong doing, my brothers received the same and none of us have any lasting damage and my parents never took any pleasure in this form of punishment.

They do say that violence leads to violence.

Child abuse is something else entirely.

In fact one could argue that a parent that lets a child do as it pleases is child abuse.

I have never raised my hand to my kids as I a raised voice can stop them in their tracks.
