Comments on: Joy Behar: spanking is child abuse http://www.cassyfiano.com/2009/09/joy-behar-spanking-is-child-abuse Smokin' Hot Commentary Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:06:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Todd http://www.cassyfiano.com/2009/09/joy-behar-spanking-is-child-abuse/comment-page-1#comment-18941 Todd Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:57:48 +0000 http://www.cassyfiano.com/?p=3018#comment-18941 Got 3 kids 6,8,9, all girls. We travel often to theme parks and I 'm terrified of abductions. Breeze my 8 yo constantly ran ahead of us or hopped into rides w/o telling us. At times we got worried the paging system was used. I never hit my kids before, but she was out of control and I was willing to try it as a last effort before seeing shrinks. Details are not necessary to satisfy pervs but a trip to our van, some handywork, , some love, some taliking, stopped the scaring me to death, she only got a few butt stings. Small payment for now giving her "the eye" is all we need. Got 3 kids 6,8,9, all girls. We travel often to theme parks and I ‘m terrified of abductions.

I will avidly avoid it. A.) Who the heck is Joy Behar and who decided she was important? A loud-mouth does not equate intelligence. and B.) Spanking does not equal child abuse. No, I do not condone spanking at one. My little boy will be one next week and a "mean" look and a stern "no thank-you." is sufficient. I don't necessarily advocate spanking at any age-it can become an easy way out; but on other hand if it's a lesser punishment than, say, getting hit by a car from not listening an running out in the road then by all means a quick swat on the bottom will suffice. Some kids just need discipline in different ways for different reasons. I've seen situations where parents have laid such an emotional verbal lashing and guilt trip on their child that I've caught myself thinking, 'Oh geez, just pat their bottom and be on with it! Quit with the mental abuse!' So yes, maybe spanking at one is a little soon, but spanking-when used in moderation by a parent who cares is by NO means child abuse. Perhaps Joy could use a quik swat for making good parents feel like crap!

Joy had made me feel like a real idiot the other night. I thought that I must have been the only person in the world who had received spankings and had spanked my kids when they were young. This form of discipline is the most effective with children. If more of todays kids had received spankings, I'm sure the crime rate would be a bit different.

One woman was so busy arguing with a car rental lady (who never raised her voice), that her young son kept mucking about, resulting in hurting another little girl, then splitting his own head when he fell over. All she was doing to control the brat was saying sorry (???!) and calling him to come back to her. She yelled at the rental lady, but didn't so much as raise her voice at her wild child. Had he been my son, I would have kept a firm grip on him and given him at least a slap on the hand for the way he was behaving. It's about what my parents would have done with me. Heck, most of the people around my age have one proud story about their parents and a broken wooden spoon!

I was spanked when I was a kid, when I deserved it, and I truly believe I'm stronger for it. ALL of my friends that I grew up with were also spanked when they deserved it. and just about everyone that I know today received spankings when warranted. but I do believe that it should be the last resort. maybe some people... the ones who habitually cross the line and TRULY abuse their kids should not only have their kids taken away, but be sterilized as well so they cant have anymore children to screw up. But stop criticizing the rest of us. it’s true, physical punnishment has been used by mankind from the beginning and while some people go overboard and cross the line from discipline to abuse, the VAST majority of us havent.
