Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

btech, I would absolutely embarrass my child like that. You must be young. lol.
My mom used to beat me in public, and it worked.
The belt whipping was done the right way, too. It had just enough force to make him feel it and humble him but it wasn't across his back or on bare skin or meant to harm him. It was just enough to show him for the little boy that he was. I don't condone violence to children but special cases call for special circumstances and in this case I believe it was warranted. Sadly, many people would take this too far, though. I was never whipped or hit as a child but my parents made it ABUNDANTLY clear that it was not out of the question. That was enough for me to, at least, never get caught slippin'. LOL!
Thanks for the wisdom. Btw I'm 27 - old enough to become a parent, but still young enough to be a fool.
couldn't have said that better myself broAbsolutely agree. It's time for parents to start being parents and quit worrying about trying to be friends with their kids.
It is cool that the uncle cared enough that it pissed him off when he couldve done nothing. But the whole public humiliation thing is a good way to fuck people up mentally in their adult lives. And there is a difference between fear and respect.
I didnt say I disagree with disciplining your kids. But realize one day they will be their own person and surpass you. And if you crossed the line often, youre going to be completely accountable for who they are and what comes back to you. Whether it be them disowning you and never speaking to you the rest of your life. Or beating you within an inch of your life or further.[/QUOTE]
Yes,I made joke earlier in this thread as this was such unconventional punishment .Now the Uncle is assaulting the kid while cussing?!?! So yes the uncle cares enough and doesn't just turn his head to potentially dangerous behavior,but in reality he is creating a whole new set of issues for this young fella to comprehend and deal with.
For all the peopl who think whoopins is the way.Please do some research on psychology and parenting boards on the problems and confusion it creates.Some of the most violent criminals were punished with spankings.
Bottom line we all agree and applaud the uncle for stepping in and caring enough to act.But his approach was not one I would agree with and I believe will be counterproductive in raising a well behaved,confident young man.
I don't disagree with the spanking but I do have to disagree with putting it on the internet. He could've made him make a statement or whatever. But the "assault" was hardly life threatening and could hardly be considered getting a "beating." He got spanked. Nothing more nothing less.
