When someone isn't really doing anything wrong and you're punishing them just cuz you're pissed off, then that's when it's abuse.
|
So if you smack a kid over the head with baseball bat because he did something wrong, thats not abuse.
But if you happen to feel like some batting practice but ran out of balls; and use the childs head as one, it is?
Ah, so this must mean abuse lies within the reason for hitting the child, not the excessive force used to discipline them.
I see, i see.

obviously there's such a thing as excess force, but I figured people were smart enough to know that hitting someone with a baseball bat is going overboard.
shit like spanking, grounding, taking away certain things (nothing that would make them unable to live, obviously) and etc are ways to punish a child. baseball bat to the head is retarded, but I guess common sense isn't people's strongpoints.
|
I take the internet seriously, please forgive my lack of common sense and intelligence.
on a more serious note, I generally agree with everyone. I remember stories told to me by my grandparents and parents about how they used to get the cane (hit with a big stick) at school; and on a whole, the older generations seem to be more polite then we are.
But to assume that heavier discipline alone was the only factor contributing to making someone more polite / disciplined would be silly. Obviously things have changed since then.
