Is it okay to "Whip" a Child?

[righteousdude2]

Pure foolishness. Corrected again and all you can do is make a lame attempt to insult. Leave this thread. Be gone with ya!:thumbs:

You are more humble and modest than I first thought. That was not an attempt to disparage you. It was an outright attempt to pay you the tribute and acknowledgement you have worked so hard to gain! You are truly good at being the center of the universe, Zaac, enjoy it, you earned it, really, you did! :thumbs:

Your little images are just ridiculous. You really need to stop with them. They are the equivalent of a kindergartner sticking their fingers in their ears and babbling nonsense.

Well, thanks for your opinion. I respect your view and opinion.

However, when it comes to the person, it was intended for, it fits his puerile buffoonery and judgmental style of verbal attacks, and like they say, "a photo is worth a thousand words!" It saves me the time from having to address the forest of trees in his eye, while I work to remove a splinter from mine!

Hating much for a noob on the forums.

You have not contributed one thought to this thread. You pretty much followed me in here after your stupid little pickup truck theft thread failed. Troll on if you must but being new to the forum doesn't mean I was born on my join date.

Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.

Would this scripture be considered child abuse today?

So here's a story for you:

I was at the doctor's office with my then 12 month old (now 22 year old). She was a feisty one, let me tell you!! So she was there in just her diaper on the table and I was playing with her waiting for the doctor. She was sitting facing me and leaned forward like she was going to hug me and I hugged her - only to have her bite me on the breast. Hard. Without letting go. With sharp baby teeth. OH MY GOSH!!! I pulled back - she didn't let go. I finally had to slap her thigh to get her to let go .... and now I'm sitting in the doctor's office with a 12 month old crying her eyes out - and with a big handprint on her thigh!!! What do I do?? A minute later the doctor walks in - just as the handprint is getting nice and red and a little swollen. I was so flustered and quickly tried to explain what happened. That pediatrician just shook his head - and handed me a gauze pad. Seems that bite was worse than I thought and I was bleeding and the blood was running down my shirt!! Fortunately, that was enough evidence to know what happened and he made sure to clean out the bite and bandage it for me (it was right inside the v-neck of my shirt) and told me he totally would have done the same thing. Fortunately by the time we left, the redness on her thigh was gone so it wasn't that big a smack but it took about a week and a half for that bite to heal!! I think that was probably the hardest I had ever spanked my kids.

That tough cookie now lives in New York City. I hope people watch out for her. She bites.

Wow that was wild!

Would this scripture be considered child abuse today?

It comes from a religious source and some interpret it as physical discipline rather than structure, so yes. In areas where spanking is considered abuse, those enforcing the concept and that do not view the verse as structure have to call the verse abuse.

 

[righteousdude2]

I don't care the color of your skin ....

There is nothing in the Bible to justify whooping a child to the point on leaving bruises, torn skin, broken bones and the trauma of perpetual fear and emotional abuse.

Children are on loan from God. Love them with that in mind. Abuse them, and like they say, do the crime, do the time. Abused children tend to abuse to. Break the cycle with you.

I 10000% agree with you but a spanking is none of the above.

Spanking is fine.
Causing wounds that take days to heal, is overboard.
I am not up on what Mr. Peterson did.
I had a friend once forced into parenting classes because some one (no not me) saw her and turned her in to CPS when she swatted her child.
She left no marks but the gov got into her business and threatened to take her children away.

Parenting is for parents. Not teachers. Not nosy parkers and especially not the gov.

 

[righteousdude2]

I agree ...

I have spanked my kids, but it was only after time outs and reasoning did not work. And NEVER did it injure the child!

And all the studies show, that children who are phsically abused, will have a higher chance to turn out to be physically abusive as adults! Which is the reason we need to find other avenues to mete out punishment to kids.

Like one person said, if hitting yourkids works when they are children, the day is not long off when that child will be hitting you back!

Selah!

So don't use the rod on your kid because the day may not be long off that your child will be hitting you back? :laugh: I think folks who think like this are crazy.

This is the type of thinking that has kids thinking their parents can't lay a hand on them or discipline them in any type of way or they'll call CPS.

I wish a child ever would think about hitting me because I disciplined them.

Next thing you know , Christians will be talking about it's okay for kids to address their parents by their first name and set their own curfews.

Pure crazy.

It seems that, by your responses, you were beaten as a kid .... you beat kids .... and that would explain your overbearing attitude and aggression towards those on this board that you don't like!

I just find it hard to believe, that you, as a believer, can be so hateful towards others? But if you are okay with beating kids to a bloody pulp, that may explain you to others.

That is pure crazy!

 

[matt wade]

Hey Dude...you talk the talk that you are an expert on parenting and raising children. You continually remind all of us of your vast experience in the field.

What you fail to mention along with all this is that you failed as a parent. You daughter is a sexual deviant. Lots of good your time outs and stern talks did.

 

[righteousdude2]

It's the HUMANITARIAN thing to Do!

There are a few folks that are now on ignore ... so to those [and I know that YOU all know who you are] who want to continue to give me a piece of your mind, let me say this:





I decided to do this, because I realize how small minded some of you are, and I don't want to be the reason your brain cells are disappearing at a faster than normal clip!

There may come a day when you will need to dram upon cells, and you won't have them to draw upon, because you are working over time to insult me; judge me; and just be annoying.

So, in your golden years, when you have some of your small mindedness left, think of me, and give thanks for the unselfish and humanitarian thing I did just for you .... :smilewinkgrin:​

Is that the same sort of investigative prowess you used with CPS? All you can tell is that you're grasping for straws to try and make a point.

If you can deduce all that from what I said, go back to CPS. They need your help.

But stop being silly. I don't have a problem with you. I have a problem with your racial prejudice and the way that you treat anyone who doesn't share your POV.

Except I don't get the impression that you really have any convictions about these POVs. It's just the role you've decided to play cause it makes you one of the "boys" on the board and garners you attention. Thus the schtick of all the polls.

You're just used to folks rolling over and letting you bully them because your POV is in the majority. As I've said before. I'm a grown man. I'm not the "will be bullied by sophomoric banter and pictures and polls" type.

I just find it hard to believe, that you, as a believer, can be so hateful towards others? But if you are okay with beating kids to a bloody pulp, that may explain you to others.

What you find so hard to believe is that I have consistently pointed out unChristlike behavior from the clique and some specifically that continues to get more and more unChristlike and unhinged everyday.

But this is what happens when you're one person online and someone else offline. It rattles the nerves and causes people to lose touch with reality.

You haven't read where I said anything about beating kids to a bloody pulp so stop with the devil's machinations of manipulation. You obviously think it's okay to "spare the rod" even though God says to not spare it.

I'll go with what God says.:thumbs: See cause I'm a BIBLICAL conservative where your conservatism rests in politics. Now THAT is pure crazy.
