I am with you. I don't understand having a P and R forum then lowering the boom on people for getting in a heated discussion or trading a few barbs.

Clearly you didn't read my original post. Imagine that.

Nah, if you did it to me you'd be flat on your back If a parent wants to smack their child as punishment, it's honestly none of your damn business. Just as it's none of my business how you raise you

No child deserves to be whipped with a belt, especially not in public and especially not one covered in metal. No child. If I did that to you it would be assault and I would be arrested!

It's really astonishing that this is allowed, especially in school. I saw a child get whipped repeatedly with a belt in broad daylight at a mall. The mother and grandmother just stood there and looked

I don't think a "spanking" (meaning a few swats with the open hand on the bottom of a clothed child, not delivered with anything approaching full adult strength, but with great restraint as appropriate for a 2 or 3-year-old) constitutes "child abuse."

However, I believe that a beating with a belt (including one with metal parts :o) certainly is child abuse.

It's far more effective, and makes a lasting impression, to reason with a child on his/her particular maturity level, using restrictions of privileges as punishment when it's needed. Time outs work really, really well on little kids; for older kids - not getting to go out with their friends or use their cell phones or post on Facebook, etc. works really well.

Beating them only teaches them that might = right.
