This is a topic I've wanted to post for a while. But do you think parents have the right to hit/use violence against their children? For example, young children, being hit for doing something wrong. Some parents think it's the only way of getting through to their children and sending them the message that what they've done/said was wrong. I've seen it happen on numerous occasions and I'd love to know what you guys think about it.

One million percent against it. There are other means of disciplining a child.

Ninastar · 22-07-2009, 05:53 PM

I think children need a small smack but not like huge. As long as they have done somthing bad though.

30stone · 22-07-2009, 05:53 PM

Yep.

A little slap on the bum of back of the legs

Doesn't scar someone for life or make them a criminal, and its not like it really hurts.

My mum done it.

Obviously yes. It never killed us to get a small smack because we did something bad. Of course there are abuse of them and it shouldn't be tolerated. But as long as it stays 'nice', I'm for it. Children need this to understand what is good or bad.

Really ? Tell me about it then because children who didn't get that kind of 'punishment' are usually the ones who have the less manners, education and have no boundaries.

Princess · 22-07-2009, 06:03 PM

What! They are not the best behaved. I was never ever hit in my life and I behaved fine. I know kids who were and they just resented their parents for it.

Oh come on please. Don't tell me a small smack will change your life or will kill you when you're 2 years old. Children are testing everything, they need to know what's good or bad and know their boundaries. I'm not saying it should be done all the time but sometimes it's needed. It hasn't killed anybody to get put in their place.

Beastie · 22-07-2009, 06:10 PM

a small smack is acceptable yes! there are too many human rights in this country!! and a lot of the thugs and crimes that are happening is due to bad parenting!! they need to bring back discipline!

I would not have been happy if I was hit. Their are other ways of discplining children without hurting them! They can know what's good or bad without being hit. Ground them,take away something they like,whatever. There is no need for anything else.

that was different and you know it. He didnt die from a snack he was beaten. Several times. Most parents are not like that one bit. x

pinkmichk · 22-07-2009, 06:36 PM

i was smacked as a child and as a mother i have used a small smack but its very very rare that it gets to that point normally other methods are fine i have never left a mark on her though its always just a light tap but like i say its rare for it to get to it

you cant compare baby p to normal disapline cos he was abused beaten a lot bones broken and so on

Tom · 22-07-2009, 06:39 PM

Smacked bum or whatever but nothing more really

yeh exactly. I think when I have a child or w.e I will smack them but i will use other ways to tell them off too. I can see why people dislike it.

Precisely.

Nowadays if a child like gets detention at school or gets shouted at parents complain, and the teachers can do nothing.

I never saw a problem with it, theres always complaints about abuse but its not, a little smack on the back of the legs...?

Enid · 22-07-2009, 06:45 PM

A spank on the ass or a slap on the wrist is fine. I mean, who really has time for all this "naughty step" business when you've had a hard day at work and you have a complete brat on your hands?

I was hit as a kid by my father, not as punishment but to inflict fear. And yes, I resent him to this day, but this is an extreme case. A parent who lightly spanks their child occasionally is not going to screw them up.

TheOfficialAdam · 22-07-2009, 06:46 PM

depends what you mean by hitting...as 30stone says a smack on the back of the legs is acceptable, but if your going to as far and say actually punch them in the face etc then thats a definite NO.

Twilight · 22-07-2009, 06:51 PM

I was smacked when i was a younger, and i don't resent my mum and dad at all,a little one has a warning is fine, it not hurting them if its only a little one at all.

Conzors · 22-07-2009, 06:53 PM

No.
Because then they will just rebel against you, if you hurt them physically, they would want to get back at you by being bad again.

So no. lol.

Ninastar · 22-07-2009, 06:56 PM

yeah but conzors if you used something like a naughty step they dont take it seriously. you see them on supernanny like running around and everything. then again they are total brats but still.

x_eztiger_x · 22-07-2009, 06:56 PM

never done me any harm but i wasnt hit to the extent of being knocked out of that deffo not that bad

Jayson · 22-07-2009, 06:57 PM

I am 100% for a little smack on the bum, its the only way of getting through to toddlers.

But from 10 onwards they should know right and wrong, so its not needed past then.
