That poor boy is going to be scarred for life!! He is going to be a menace to society!! A good talking to from a role model is what he needs.
There's been an RV parked in my cul-de-sac for a couple of days. One of the neighbor kids (5 years old) decided to climb right up the ladder and jump around on top of the thing. I told him to come down (I don't want to see any kid, even a bratty one, with his head broken open on the pavement) or his mom was going to whip his ass. He just kind of laughed and turned away... so I called her. Well, exactly as I predicted, she came marching down the sidewalk with belt ready and handled that boy right there in the street. If he doesn't remember the pain of the lesson, he surely will recall the humiliation.

No the approach I would of taken, whats gonna happen when the mom isn't around to beat his ass ?
He didn't really learn why he shouldn't have been doing it. Instead of beating the kid make him understand why its dangerous.
She probably didn't even have to beat him; just the sight of the belt would work in most cases. I used to keep one of those huge metal barbecue spatulas in my car. Never used it, but they knew it was there for "just in case".
Whip the kid you stupid "put your kids in time-out" generation.
I'm not one of those time out people not that I have a child, but physical pain goes away after a while...emotional/mental anguish is there for the rest of your life.
You teach a child to exercise self-control by being out of control in public?
Somehow, someway, in a wierd and dark way.....
I kinda see what your sayin.....
BUT WHIP THE KID ANYWAYS....
You teach a kid by showing them Rotten.com and type in falling off tall objects. Then, if that doesn't work you use the belt.
this thread is inevitably going to be sent to the political forum.....
When people don't do what they're told... you beat their ass? Nice Parenting
Don't get me wrong, I hate those soft parents who let their kids do whatever, they never lay down the law and then complain (the type you see on Dr.Phil asking for help w/ their 'out-of-control-child'). Beating your kid just seems a quick fix that some people use because they're too lazy to actually parent.
how'd you learn not to touch a hot stove?When people don't do what they're told... you beat their ass? Nice Parenting

I always find it interesting when people say you shouldn't spank but instead you should tell them why what they did was wrong, what could happen if they did it again, etc.
I do both.
I suppose it was from people telling me that I would get burned if I did touch it. I don't know where your going with this...? Are you implying that the pain from the stove (the parental beating) is what re-inforced the concept? That would be a faulty argument...
How is it faulty?
It hurts, so you don't do it again. Simple logic
It also hurt the first time I had sex.
Spare the rod spoil the child!
I got my ass beat when I was a kid and I turned out alright...well not really.
By your logic, you wouldn't know that getting stabbed, electrocuted, shot, etc.. were bad for you unless they happened to you.

Sorry but beating your kid is on the same level as beating up your wife or girlfriend.
Just from personal experience... kids who get regular ass-beatings are mean little ers. My kids get an occasional swat on the ass (because we're not perfectly patient at all times), but my kids are sweet. I'm jus' sayin'.
I'm not saying BEAT your child, of course not. But I am saying a spanking here and there isn't going to make him a damn psychopath.
Spanking is just fine, as long as (with everything) it is used in moderation. You explain as much as you can, but sometimes it takes a hot stove to help the kid learn the lesson. Also, we don't know if the mom had already told this kid to quit doing this 5 times. She may have even said "next time I catch you doing this, you are going to get the belt."
Exactly. You should always take the time to explain to your child why they shouldn't do something, but if they choose to ignore you, beat that ass, then explain it to them again. Children tend to pay a little more attention when they know there are stiffer penalties for disobedience. When the little boy was asked to get down by the neighbor and chose to ignore him, he earned that beating.
That is in fact the case. The boy had already been in trouble for climbing onto the top of the Fed Ex truck when it stopped at their home to make a delivery and knew what sort of punishment was coming if he pulled a similar stunt. Kid's like freakin' Spiderman.
For anybody concerned, Mom was definitely not out of control. There were three or four (not very hard) whacks to the back of the legs and he was not allowed to play outside for the rest of the night. If she had actually beaten him, I would have called the police myself.
This.
There is a difference between spanking and abuse. One is not necessarily the other.
