texas mom in trouble for spanking

feb2012mommy

What it your opinion on spanking. I was spanked as a child and my child will be spanked if they deserve it. The part of florida i live in still has corpul(so?) Punishment in school's. Some times time out just isn't enough. What is everybody's thoughts on spanking

jcmommy

I spank mines as a warning. Spanking has never bothered my child. He's tough so he usually giggles afterwards, so when he's really bad, I do time out or take away his toys. That's torture to him.

I didn't hear the whole story on this. I heard she got 5yrs probation plus parenting classes. Did she spank the child so hard that it left bruises or what?

I hated the time out chair. My mom use to tell me and my sis no touch but if we did anyway we would get our fingers popped. I had my fair share of mouth thumps too for attitude as i got older.

I'm against it. I may be being totally cerebral, but I feel that hitting your child for doing something wrong only shows them that violence is ok if someone does something wrong. I know some people say a tap on the hand or butt is ok, but I still think it is wrong. There are plenty of other ways to get your child's attention. I tried "tapping" my 16 month old on the hand when she bit me and I felt like the biggest jerk off and she just laughed and hit me back. I never did it again. I use time out and she totally gets that, so I stick with that.

I spank when needed as well although I've only done it like 3 times and hes 7 the time out chair and talking helps allot

Well I was spanked as a child and it worked for me as well, but my dad barely tapped me! Lol I'm not ok with someone else spanking my child though ..def not.. :-?

I totally agree with spankings, no spankings and kids get outta control!! Actually spanking not the word WHOOPING if i need to.. Even in public if thats where the child acts up. Sometimes a child needs a good pop or two to act right *not a baby tho* only if they kno better.

The lady in texas her daughter was 2. I would never whoop a baby and only when its needed. My mom would take me to the bathroom if we were in public. I think i can count a hand full of times i was whooped. Popped on the butt or the hand much more offten than i got a whoopen.

I believe in good pops, not whoopings. I do not believe in putting a child in pain. Just enough so it hurts their feelings. I was whooped unconscious many times as a child, I will never do that to mine

I was spanked.. I'm all for it. Your kids walk all over you as they get older when they realize all they get is a time out then its all good. Just my opinion. My sons very well behaved and I had him at 18. I can count in 1 hand how many times I've spanked him, he knows better. He's 5 now

lily_glz

@mommyforever very well put! Didn't know how to say it lol.. spankings don't hurt my son, the fact that I'm upset with him is what hurts him so he will listen next time.. I was also whooped and beat as a kid and I also will never do that to my children

feb2012mommy

Kids need to know right from wrong. I would never take a belt to my child. I had it threatened on me never used tank god. My mom would pull down our pants and spank our bare buts if we did something really bad but i promise you way ever we did to deserve that we never did again. That happened maybe a hand full of times in the 18 yrs i lived at home.

janmommy

Oh no, not a whoopin to cause long lasting pain, blood or bruises.. Just a good whooping for lesson learned if its something really bad. But a pop most likely wont hurt. I kno a 3 yr old boy that said he likes pops. Cause it dont hurt him, he shakes n laughs it off and do the same wrong doing. When he get a whooping he dont repeat although that dont really hurt him either

Spankings are necessary at times. I pop my neice all the time cause she's too little for spankings and stop does not mean stop to her. Lol. Ill be spanking my son if he gets out of hand though. I got whoopins not spankings as a kid and I turned out fine. I also live in Texas. I wouldnt spank my kid in public though.

feb2012mommy

Blood and buising are abuse. There is a fine line between punishmnt and abuse. My children will be spanked as punishment for wrong doing not whooped or beaten till needing and bruised that much is uncalled for. And if they need there fingers popped for touching something i have told them not to then there fingers will be popped.

As for the woman in TX, I dont think its anybody's business if she spanks her kid. Now if she was beating her up then that's another story. That's her child and she will raise her child the way she sees fit. I dont agree with doing it in public, but that's just me.

I got the good ol hand slap from my mom & my child will b done the same way..
I have seen both sides to this &personally I think the children that are not spanked or hand slapped are brats...
All parents know their limits,a child shouldn't be spanked hard nor over some meaningless BS but yes all kids should b punished.

nmartinez79

I think every child reacts to things differently. I think if your children do something really bad they need a spanking when your calm. I take mine in the bathroom if were in public but I think its a little much to spank a 2 year old.

nmartinez79

I definitely agree with Jay_brad

feb2012mommy

@beautifulone yes spanking with your hand.

feb2012mommy

@Nmartinez79 deffently when com if not you could possibly take things to far and cross that line between punishment and abuse

jay_brad

@nmartinez79 thanks! Us mommas needa stick together & raise our babies w some respect &manners!

feb2012mommy

@jay_brad i totally agree. If we don't raise this generation with maneners and rules socity will be out of hand and unruly

jay_brad

@feb2012mommy exactly!! It makes me sick to look at some people that call themselves parents... &they wonder why their kids act out... I think yes all children have their own personalities but they are greatly effected by how they are raised!

feb2012mommy

I have cousins who run around like wild children and they don't listen to a word there parent's say except when they cant play on the computer (10 and 6) and then they throw a fit.kid's these day's don't know what it is to go out side and have fun like we did.
