Im not saying social services isnt a good thing, because it is.... i myself have called several times on suspected abused chidlren, but they need to reevaluate the way that they screen the people that call..... someone who doesnt know the family should not be given the exact same credibility as a teacher or family member......... in short...... people CAN NOT disciplin their kids anymore for fear of getting a child abuse mark on their record (and those are PERMANANT BY THE WAY)..... i will be a teacher here soon, and hwo would that look if i had kids and someone called the child abuse hotline, making a ding on my record? i probably wouldnt get a job..... |
I agree with you. My mom spanked me when I was acting up and it didn't hurt me, it anything I listened better. Time outs and grounding didn't do anything for me but a spanking, that spoke volumes and I stoped what I was doing. I got my mouth washed out with soap too, taught me not to say words I wasn't suppose to. When I was going through the early teenage years, I told my mom I was calling child services on her...well she said fine here's the number call them, oh and by the way you take only what you bought...well I didn't cause I knew I had it good plus I wouldn't have had anything to take with me!!!!
I had a lady I babysat for and she told me that when her child was visiting her dad she was acting soo bad tantrum the whole nine yards in a restraunt and she was 8 at the time. He took her out to the car and spanked her....some person called the cops and they were going to charge him...for what disiplining?
Aghhhh, It gets me so upset, I don't know what I'm going to do if/when I have kids. I believe in spanking and the soap thing but how am I suppose to correct my own child if someone might call the cops? My boyfriend and I have discussed it a few times he feels the same way, his mom did what my mom did and he learned just like I did.
