Sorry. I can't shut up. I cannot believe how many people these days recommend a good beating to straighten kids out. http://www.naturalchild.org/alice_miller/ Two of the most respectful & well behaved kids I ever met also had welt marks from a belt buckle across their back. This is too much. A little attention getting spanking on the behind is fine but I'm against hurting and humiliating kids. I get lots of abuse and trouble from folks named road kill, beer drinker and even mom of 2....all fighting for the right to hit their kids without seeing the big picture. Arguing these rights allows out of control parents to get away with much worse...children suffer in private...society suffers in the end. Few psychopathic, sociopathic dangers to society are the result of getting treated too kindly as children. The reverse is almost always true. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to solve society's problems or make the world safer. Just do the math!
