Police: Mom posts pics of son dressed as girl on Facebook as form of discipline

[Showan]

Oh ? And who decides what is "out of hand" ? Is it the same level for all kids ? all parents ? is it age specific ?

I realize things like this are completely normal & encouraged when one gets their instructions in life from a book that repeatedly tells people to murder their family members - but I am just curious where/how the line is drawn for you...

Isn't everything perception...

Out of hand is when it's "seeing red" instead of knowing why you are using physical discipline...

I gotten a spanking,whipping, beating (whatever u want to name it) almost every single day as a kid... and deserved every single one of them... And looking back on it, I can actually say thanks to my mom for doing so.

Just think, you may have walked by numerous kids who were on a path of destruction... But a parent who chose to be a parent and not let their kid be a detriment to society, decided to spank them now so ur house isn't robbed by their kid later...

It's funny how u want to drag a bible into this... But I also know plenty of atheist who use spankings as a form of discipline as well. Spankings aren't confined to those with spiritual beliefs.., Get over it...

I didnt say spankings are solely the use of religious people.  I rec'd plenty in my childhood.  I am not against that kind of punishment - just wondering what the limit is for you --- and you answered.

As far as "getting over it"  -  no

I'll try to rectify my position slightly as I realise how it may have come across.Is the above a cruel punishment for the child because of the humiliation?What about this kid:Is that too far as well?

Nothing wrong with this. This kid will think twice before cussing out another teacher.

Discipline should stay at home as much as possible.

Not necessarily. When I grew up decades ago, if I were to act up at school or in the street, my teacher would kick my behind, the neighbors would kick my behind, and then when I got home, my parents would kick my behind. In those days everyone looked out for another and neighborhoods prospered. Today, parents are like zombies with no clear direction on how to raise their kids.

Hum the subject of the topic is not about teachers or neighbors but the actual parents of the kid and the internet.

 

There no reason to post a video of you disciplining your kid on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and such.

Don't have kids, but if I did and they told me that the neighbours hit them said neighbours would be drop-kicked into next week.

 

Given the stories my parents & uncles tell me about the sadism of teachers when they were growing up, I wouldn't want teachers physically disciplining children either.

Sadism of teachers rampant decades ago? What part of the country did your parents and uncles grow up in? Additionally, the school system in the U.S. was much better when teachers had "control" of their classrooms. Today, students threaten to sue if you raise your voice at them. Students run the classrooms now and that's why our educational system sucks. My mother taught junior high and high school for 33 years. The final nail in her coffin occurred when a student threatened to sue her because she held him after class for being disruptive. He went home, told his father who just happened to be a lawyer, and he raised hell up and down the school district because he believed my mother was "unfair".

This within itself is part of the problem, back when I was a child (1975+), hell even further back, when my eldest brother was a child (1965+) if We did something wrong and had a neighbour slap us, the first thing our dad asked was "what did we do" if it turned out we were in the wrong, we got another slap.

 

I'm not saying defending a child in the wrong is a bad thing to do, but there's always more to a story than initially told.

I can give another example, My youngest nephew, on his 8th birthday was taken to one of those big indoor playgrounds (that were popping up all over the UK about 8 years ago) and some kid came up to him and bullied him, My sister grabbed the kid and pulled him off her son, but the bully then cried to his dad and he came over to try and ruin what was left of the birthday party.. Until the manager was called and the cctv proved that the bullying kid was the one in the wrong..

Even then, no apology, just a lot of p**i remarks as they were escorted out of the building,

 

Back on topic, Parents are getting desperate in this day and age, as kids have come to realise there's very little repercussion to their actions as if they're disciplined in any manner, they cry to the authorities.

A news story comes to mind, of a teenager who claimed she was beaten by her mother, (she wasn't, she wanted more money and the mother didn't have any left to give) parent was removed from her home, and spent the night locked up, until the girl dropped the charges as she was hungry and none of the mother's relatives would feed her for what she had done.

 

Even closer to home (for me) I was arrested for hitting my son (he stole 3 laptops from his school, the slap left a bruise, the school dropped the charges and tried to get me charged for child cruelty instead)

I spent a night in police lock up, but in my case it was worth it, he's now 16, gets good grades and steers clear of trouble.
