Parenting is BACK! Facebook gangster gets "the strap."

[Masherbrum]

I think Trigger is going to be offended you posted a link to a video of a kid getting spanked.

While that was funny I kinda agree with penguin on this one, uncle should lead by example and pick his own pants up off the ground.
good ol' donut whoopins are good when people don't listen to reason, but I'll bet he'll still be acting gangster just not on facebook.

good vid though!

I was punished as a kid and it served me well. I never really consider kids "sub-human" so I cannot relate to your ideaology.

I am referring not to punishment, but the difference between a 'board of education' and a criquet bat.

Good kid you got there!    That whoopin' was nothing compared to some of the ones I got growing up.  Awesome uncle though, that kid will probably thank him for that someday.

Thanks    He just knows how i was raised and respects that, besides thats a place he knows he don't wanna go

Tough one.  Speaking as a parent who has raised three to adulthood and is raising a 4th, and as one who has worked with teenagers for the last 25 years, I'm hard pressed to condone hitting kids.  To me it means the parenting is reactive instead of proactive.  My wife and I debated it a long time when we had our first.  I was more apt to think it was a solution.   She was against it.  In the end we put our energy into being proactive and didn't have to resort to that.

It doesn't mean the 'threat' of what might happen if Dad got mad wasn't there.  But anger was something that rarely showed itself as a parent so that when it it make an appearance, it got the response intended.  I've been told since that my kids referred to it as the "Darth Vader" voice behind my back.

I think it's a great vid and a great uncle who cares.

He didn't beat him, he sent a message to the kid. It was a message of love and caring.

As for his pants being hung down, where do you think the belt came from?

[jimson]

The line is right about where the Uncle left it.

Azz whoopin doesn't amount to abuse, when he's trying to steer the kid away from a lifestyle that might get him killed.

The guys pants were on the ground because his belt was otherwise occupied.

Where did anyone say anything about punching a kid?  I'm also willing to bet that you are one of the very few on this entire board that's never been whipped.  If so you'd realize it's much more of a mental get your feelings hurt punishment than it ever was physical.  No grounding I've ever had ever hurt my feelings as much as getting popped a few times.

I dunno about the grounding one, when I was younger my mom would hand out groundings like nobodys business and ground me for a few months at a time from all electronics and leaving the house, then when the 2 months would nearly be done she would get mad about somethin else and extend me another month or so. It would drive me nuts and I would wish I could just get an donut whooppin from pops so I could just get it all over with.

  it's spinning goofy

"Child beating" as you put it was once common place.

You can decide whether you think children are better behaved, less inclined to violence and criminality and more respectful of others now that your mindset seems to prevail.
