so yes i'm in favor of a spanking, but NOT a beating as was shown here. this is not discipline this is abuse in full form. |
I hope my edit makes sense, i was saying that at 16 any form of hitting is abusive because the child is far too old to need spankings. but no matter what a child should never be hit like that. a spanking isn't done out of rage and anger and constant hitting. a spanking is a quick once or twice and it's over with thing. it's an attention grabber not a hitting, beating, screaming and cursing thing. poor girl that is just awful what she endured and i would never forgive my mother if she had allowed that kind of abuse to happen to me. thank God my parents always knew the difference between a loving spanking to show discipline and beating and abusing for what looks like sheer enjoyment in the video.
