"CHILD ABUSE...WHEN PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT GOES TOO FAR"

I guess the question to start with could be...is physical punishment or spanking a child acceptable? If so, how far is "too far?" There are some parents who believe in "spanking" their children but sometimes they take it just a bit too far by using harmful objects (such as extension cords, heels, and even baseball bats). Yes, some parents use "spanking" as form of discipline and that is fine if it works for them. However, many take it beyond the term spanking by using harmful objects or physically hitting their child when they didnt even do anything punishable. I dont think some parents know how much stronger they are over their child. Especially when they are upset. An upset person may let out their anger physically and that is not good when it comes to a child.

I believe some parents use their power over a child to verbally or physically say or do whatever they want b/c the child is helpless and will do as the parent says. I dont think it is fair. So many children are being abused (even harmless babies) and parents are getting away with it.

I attached a video I ran across of a sad story involving a baby who was brutally abused. The story is really sad and is an eye opener that child abuse really exist more than we know and needs to be stopped.

Please don’t take any of my comments personal…This is just my point of view…what’s yours?

  1. a very senitive subject for me personally. This exist just like racism still exist. Only difference is alot of times children are being abused by ppl/person(s) they know that suppose to love and protect them. Then child groww up having trust issues with ppl not even able to hold a conversation becuz they that comes into an adult is like if I couldnt trust my own mother and wasnt worthy of my owm moms love then what the fukk make me think Iam worthy of being love by the average motherfucker. Well am gonna end this cuz am talkn bout myself. I have more friends on the internet than in my own life becuz I have a big trust issue. I love my mother and dont know why her mom did shit to her but guess what I have a daughter and I broke the cycle. Dueces
