I believe that corporal punishment works best when it can be enacted on the spot and used while the child is in the act of naughtiness or directly afterward. Not to say that following up on a warning later on at home isn't effective, I just believe its more effective when used with accurate timing.

I will not agree with what this guy did because I wasn't there. But if this kid was throwing a big hissy fit and screaming for an extended amount of time and the mom wasn't doing anything...then yes, someone deserved to get slapped. We all see it every time we go out in public, out of control kids that are receiving no form of discipline besides, "Do you want me to bust your butt?" or "Do you want to be grounded?" Idle threats that do not in any way influence a child's behavior. And most of us wish the parents would do something, the adamant among us would like to slap the kid ourselves.

I don't have to say, "I would've beat that motherfuckers ass if it was my kid" because my kid would NEVER, EVER do that. If he's crying in the store its because he just broke his arm or stepped on a pongee stick.

This kid suffered no physical trauma besides being a little red in the face...however there is a good chance she will at least look around for crazy old white men before she throws another tantrum.
if you're talking about the lady who was punching her kid in the head in the back of her vehicle, then yes. I can see losing your kid for that.. That's not discipline, that is abuse.

It was a long time ago...the one I'm talking about I believe she had an open hand. Blond lady maybe?

Not specifically advocating that case anyway, just making a point that the van is not free from prying eyes. Unless its the free candy van.

I'm also an advocate for law enforcement controlled free candy vans. Have them drive around, grab kids dumb enough to fall for it. And then they should be returned to their dumb ass parents a week later. Maybe then, they'll understand how serious free candy can be..

I don't think free candy vans are too much of a concern now anyway, I very rarely see kids playing outside around here.

I just find it incredible the very people that want the world to go beat their children and even reminisce about how their neighbors and random adults in their past had full right to enforce corporal punishment are the FIRST to get freaked out by this news piece.

Pffffffftt

Not me, I think it's fantastic what this guy did. Fuckin' kids need some discipline and most parents these days are too busy being their kid's best friend...

I think he should be given a medal and the mother should be beat.

Don't lump me with the rest of the liberal converts.
