I had two major asswhippins in my life. I deserved them both but this....yeah....
yea in another article it eluded to the fact the beatings were getting worse, which is why she set the camera up.
Jako I was in a similar situation. My Mom used a wooden spoon. Then one day about 10, she was using it on my sister I grabbed it and cracked it in half over my knee. Oh that was bad.... She drug me down to my dad for a severe beating, told him the story, and he started LAUGHING!!! Last time I either of us ever saw the wooden spoon. And don't get me wrong my Mom was and is a Saint.
This here is just plain abuse. No question about it.
Yeah my folks had a nice set of wooden spoons when I was in third grade. I did something either stupid or got bad grades, I don't remember and they busted those out. They broke all of them on my giant can, and had to get the belt. I don't think they ever got new ones.
Im not looking for sympathy, as I really did deserve it. I mean, most of you see the way I am, and believe me, it is toned down.
So, instead of flipping your dad over your shoulder and on the ground with Popcorn flying all over the place is toned down from what you would have done to him if he had tapped you on the shoulder in the past.
+1! I laughed.
When I shot the neighbor with the one pump daisy my dad spanked me so hard I had a hand print on my ass for two weeks. But that also might have been due to the fact on the way for the spanking I kicked him in the sack.
My dad had a barbers razor strap, I think I wore it out..........finally , then they found out that confining me to the yard worked a whole lot better.
Last time I was hit I was 11. Not saying I didn't deserve it; hell, in the dynamics of the so-called family of the majority of my childhood I knew that no matter what I was always going to be in trouble, so might as well make it worth it (I think my favorite was telling my stepmom that Spandex was a privelege, not a right).
What stopped it was a psychological snap and I hit back. Hard enough to drop my dad.
It also helped that my stepfamily though I was going to pull a Menendez on them between 9 and 13. Luckily I didn't find out about that until a lot later (I would have so exploited that because of the bastard I am).
As for Corporal punishment, it's a tricky subject. I think it has it's place in the disciplinary arsenal, but it can be easily abused and generally should be an emergency/last resort.
I dont know, I just have this theory that time outs and shit like that dont work. it wouldnt have worked on me. Some kids will just be like F you and your time out, what do you do then? I think thats what people who dont believe in any corporeal punishment dont understand, some kids will just flat out ignore what their parents tell them Ive seen it. Some of my parents friends who had kids later in life at get togethers when I was in HS, brought their brats. Those kids would flat out ignore them when they would try and discipline them, when it didnt work they would just give up, thats when you gotta give em a reason they cant ignore to do what you tell them.
i never got hit from 15 on, that was only because my adoptive father had to just lay the threat down, and that would snap me inline. I know the shit his father did to him and I wanted no part of it (I dont think he ever would have been that bad, but still). before I was 16 and could get a job, I would shimmy open their bedroom door and raid the place for money.
They set a trap once, and caught me, I believe the words out his mouth were "Do this again and I'll break your fucking hand". Mind you, he never ever laid a hand on me, but he sure as hell seemed deadly serious so I was never a repeat offender.
Once I was 18 or 19 from that point on I never really gave my parents a reason to be pissed at me. I dont think either of them have ever so much as raised their voice at me since. Maybe thats because ive pretty much been on my own since then.

Your right about kids now a days. i was in a line for elementary band class because my daughter was interested in joining band. So, while in line, I met some of the other parents that had children in my kids class. One mom had her hands full. Her 10 year old not only yelled at her mom in front of everyone because she was bored, but because the mom was not paying attention to her. Threw a fit, then hit her mom. Hello! when did 10 year olds lose respect for their parents? I know this guy deserves whatever the hell he gets...but for damn sake...a 10 year old smackin her parent because she was annoyed?
time outs don't work. respect is earned. Kids need to learn that for every action is a equal and opposite reaction!
