Who needs parenting when you have 50,000 volts?

she DID apparently deliver a solid kick to the balls to the cop

Clearly should've waited for her to get in the shower and then tazed her.

Despite some opposition to corporal punishment in the United States, the spanking of children is legal in all states.

I'm inclined to say that kids being taken away/suing their parents for getting spanked is an urban legend. This is not to say that parents haven't beaten the shit out of their kids and CALLED it spanking or disciplining, but I think everyone knows that wasn't likely to be their motive at the time. That being said, I don't think anyone that spanks their kids, within reason, needs to be worried about being thrown in jail.

In other words, don't bruise, break, or cut your kids and you'll be fine.

Also, you wanna start spanking your kids early on. Namely, before they've had a chance to hear anything about child protective services and all that bullshit. If they haven't heard of it, then they can't threaten you with it, which means the only way they'll know of to get out of being spanked will be to fucking behave. Some people don't realize that kids are like little lawyers. If they can figure out a way to get/do what they want without repercussions, they'll take it, because they don't understand the concepts of long-term consequences (such as being put in a foster home while their parents rot in jail).

Yep, hit your kids early and often, that'll learn em

beating kids doesnt really solve any problems(spaking is fine, as long as you dont do it excessively). It really only causes them to become volatile as they grow up.

spanking is hitting your child, no distinction need be made.

I'll admit, there is a VERY fine line to me between spaking, and physical abuse(to me a spank is one hard slap on the rump and that's that, only 1 hit, and tell them not to do it again). It's all subjective though

[Cyn]

Pfft, my parents used to lay into me like the wrath of God (literally, my mother had a paddle with a bible verse written on it).

And look at me, I turned out fine.........

[SilverBreeze]

If the beatings are working, you don't need to do it often!

I think I got my ass beat maybe 4-5 times my whole life by my parents, and I learned well from each of them lol.

Ah, the good old days. My mom used to beat me with whatever was nearby when I finally did enough shit to warrant it. Extension cords, broomsticks... lol

Mine made me go outside and pick my own switch several times. No matter what I picked, she always found a way to make sure it hurt like hell.

[SilverBreeze]

Hell yeah dude, there was no way to try and cheat your way out of a whipping with a switch, long and thing or short and fat, you'd still get what you had coming.

I remember when I thought it was a good idea to put on like 3-4 pairs of panties and 2 pairs of jeans, didn't work out too well for me.

[Cyn]

Yeah, I tried that too and got busted for it.

Also once I thought it would be funny to go pull a branch with 4 inch long spikes all over it back to her... yeah, she went and found the perfect one and holy shit she left me with one to remember lol.


The worst spanking were the ones caused by siblings... when they'd do something and lie about it, so my parents would spank us all to make sure they got the right one lol.

[SilverBreeze]

The time I put all the clothes on I knew I was in big trouble and I knew I was going to get a spanking, so I went through the house and hid like all the belts in the house so when I was going to get a spanking, I would just get it with a hand on my bottom and it wouldn't hurt with all the clothes on. Wrong.

When my mom found out what I had did, and that I had hid the belts, she made me pull my pants down (rendering my cunning plan useless) and beat my bare ass with each and everyone one of those belts that I hid lol.

[Cyn]

"This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you...."

[Sylvrdragon]

The secret to the multiple-layers trick that most kids don't realize is that you still have to ACT like it hurts, otherwise the parents get suspicious. Unfortunately, I didn't learn this secret till I was grown up...

I got hand-spanked a hand full of times and got the belt once (don't feel bad for me, I deserved that shit). The way I see it, the whole debate against corporal punishment is biased and flawed. They keep holding up all these cases of bad/stupid/drunk/emotional parents putting their kids in the hospital and say "See? It's bad!!!" If you understand the POINT behind spanking your kids and don't do it out of emotional distress, then it really can be effective.

The reason you spank your kids is because you can't explain the complexities of decision making (consequences, cost/benefit, causality, etc) to a child. They don't have the experiences to understand these concepts on a practical level. They lack the context to APPLY these principles. As such, you need to appeal to a baser function of their brains. Basically, to control a child before they are mature enough to make decisions, you have to condition them by helping them to associate certain experiences are desirable and undesirable. Rewards and Positive Reinforcement are all well and good, but they're only half of the equation. That helps them to know what actions they take are good, but it does nothing to prevent negative actions. The Carrot is useless without the Stick.

[Sylvrdragon]

Oh yeah, another important part of this system is that you have to make sure to replace the conditioned associations (AKA, Shit you get your ass beat for) with explanations as they get older and better able to understand the concepts.
