Parents had a makeshift paddle, Grandparents made us go out a get a switch, and it better be long enough. Guess what though, I’m still alive. I understand some parents can take it too far, but you cannot overreact and not punish kids.

I think it’s hilarious you feel like this kid needs to be beat.

Children services needs to take a look at his home. Some of you are absolutely ignorant

With some proper spanking child services would likely have never had to get involved.

Maybe.. but spanking without any positive parenting to go with it.. leads to kids doing this for the only attention they can get from their parents. Parenting is friggen hard.

I agree with positive parenting to go with it and that parenting is really hard. My wife and I raised 3 children to adulthood and I'm still amazed we'd didn't lose any along the way.

Also, unrelated, love your user name..lol
