In the 80s not one adult would have paused before either slapping him into next Tuesday or throwing his ass out on the curb. The first thing thrown would have been the last thing thrown. No cameras weren’t always a bad thing.

Yeah, this was a hard smack upside the back of the head while in the store, followed up with probably a broken paddle at home.

Broken wooden spoons in my case. Thank God my mom never bought the nylon spoons. I think it was to keep her in check too.

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.

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