I am against it too. I think it is wrong to hit anyone any time (except if someone is beating the heck out of you and you have to defend yourself). A child is a person too and not many people go around hitting other adults just because they don't like something they say or do... imo, a child is no different. There is a fine line between a spanking and abuse (imo) and I know too many people who have crossed it.  |

I'm against it. If you need to punish your child, ground them or something. But don't hit them. We teach kids about how bad violence is, but we can hit them? So yeah, I'm against it.  |

When a kid deserves a good smack they should get it. I was spanked as a child and I am not 'traumatized' as people think those are that are spanked. There's nothing wrong with spanking as long as you're not leaving bruises.  |

I am actually half and half. I don't think it is right to hit a child for no reason. BUT if they do something really bad they could get spanked but not hard. Mostly I am against it. If you are mad at a child for something they did you should just punish them, rather than spanking them.  |

Social Slacker is SO right. I have a few family members that try and teach their kids that hitting people is wrong. If they hit someone, what happens? You guessed it...they get a spanking. What kind of message is that??? |

I'm with Jestr. That was always my punishment as a kid too. Nothing sucks worse than being put in the corner (at least by my parents' standard of what standing in the corner consists of anyway). |

For it. I look at the difference in methods of punishment "then" and "now". I got a swat or spanking when I was young, and I'm not traumatized. ANd I know the difference between a spanking and child abuse. I saw my mom abused, so I know the difference. All this "time out" and letting children run things and saying, "I can't do anything with him" is for the birds. Spare the rod and spoil the child. There is a difference between spanking and beating. A little swat is alot different than child abuse. JMO>  |

I'm for it. If the kid is doing something that deserves a smack then they should get it. That doesn't mean that beating your kids is rihgt, but I was spanked growing up and I'm glad, or I would've turned out a lot worse then I am now.  |

I dont see anything wrong with it. It is a good way to discipline a child. I mean if the parent was shanking the child out of anger it would be wrong, but if it was a punishment it is ok to do.  |

Only as a last resort, which i usually don't have to get too (thankfully)..  |

I'm for it. I spank my children only after all other tries have failed.  |

I read a aritcle the other day that some one had e-mailed me...and it stated that NO it does not take a village to raise a child just a parent that has the back bone to swat that butt and say NO....when its necessary.....  |

I'm actually for it. Spare the rod, spoil the child. And there is a lot of truth in that. When I was growing up, if I screwed up, I got punished. It made me think before doing something stupid. I had to decide if it was worth the pain I would feel later. lol I look at kids now days and see how they act and let me tell you, some kids need a good ol' butt whoopin. lol As long as the spankings don't go to far or border on child abuse or turn into child abuse, then I see nothing wrong with it. When my son was born, I tried the "no spanking" rule in my home, and did all the other methods. My son started getting out of hand. Once I paddled his little butt, he got his act together real fast. And no he doesn't fear me or hate me. He actually loves me more, because like he said, "you aren't like my friends parents, they don't punish their kids they don't care." That is how my son sees it and he is 10. Maybe no spanking works for some parents though. I think it should be a personal preference I guess. I got my butt kicked when I was growing up for some of the stuff I did... and I am not runed by it, in prison or anything else. I'm not even tramatized either. lol So personally, I see nothing wrong with a good spanking. God Bless Cherokee Wolf  |
| Date: 11/27/2002 2:55:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 61453 I am against it. It's normal for a child to do something wrong, they don't know better yet. I'd say just send them to their room, most kids don't like to be alone nor yelled at for something wrong they did. You could even be sending out a bad example, saying that it's ok to hit someone. There's a lot of other ways to go about punishment, physically doing something (like spanking..etc), to me isn't the best way. ~*~*Mel*~*~ |

Im for it, you people make it sound like we pick up a baseball bat and take a good ol swing at our kids when they do something wrong. No, a swat on the butt isnt abuse, and its a good way to teach them something.  |
