Clappy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 So I saw an interesting topic when I was on SBM the other day that ssj made. All the credit goes to him for bringing this to everyone's attention on here. http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/spanking-ban-delaware-first-state-pass-law-expanding-181200724.html To paraphrase what this article is about, Delaware passed a law criminalizing spanking. But I would recommend giving this article a read. It is quite interesting. Which brings me to this point, would you consider spanking as a form of child abuse? Also, do you see other states following Delaware and criminalizing spanking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Snake Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Please don't think that I'm a demon for thinking that spanking is just a simple disciplinary technique and does not qualify as child abuse at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
box Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I really don't think spanking is child abuse and more like a simple disciplinary action. No, no I don't think you're a demon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 WTF? Spanking isn't child abuse. It's just a punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macseed Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm not sure where I stand on this debate. There is a difference between this and abuse. But it's still cruel. Funny, when I saw the title, at first I thought you were banned from SBM or something and "spanking" was an adjective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellatine Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh please, that's just exaggerating, in my opinion. Ok, it's not like it's ok to break your child's bottoms cuz they've done something bad, but trust me, some kids do need some spanking to be disciplined. My mom spanked the shit out of my sisters and me when we were kids and we all turned out fine xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crushingmayhem Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I see it more as punishment than anything else. While i don't agree in these kind of merits but when someone deserves something it should be allowed. Parents don't normally spank their kids over here since belts are much more common but even then it's not banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she-shin Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If there is any emotion coming from the spank, I believe that it's considered more or less abusive. If you can put your emotions aside from discipline, then a smack is a smack. Of course not a beat down or anything. If you're enraged or annoyed with your child and you punish them with feelings, that affects them not only physically but emotionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ssj4gogita4 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Girlfriend and I have already talked about this several times. Spanking will be a last resort if our child does not want to listen at all after either a warning or a timeout. No, spanking is not a form of child abuse, unless you maybe use a belt or wooden paddle where it leaves marks or bruises the next couple days, imo. You can spank hard enough to get your point across without bruising. If I have to in the future I will spank my child in a grocery store if they don't stop whining about getting candy or whatnot. If other people want to watch, I will tell them "You're going to be next if you keep watching." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 belts are much more common Personally, I'd prefer a spanking to the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushingmayhem Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Personally, I'd prefer a spanking to the belt. I could say the same but the belt is more common where I live. Spanking might be the better choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
